Death in Love
Love is
The funeral pyre
Where I have laid my living body.
All the false notions of myself
That once caused fear, pain,
Have turned to ash
As I neared God.
What has risen
From the tangled web of thought and sinew
Now shines with jubilation
Through the eyes of angels
And screams from the guts of Infinite existence
Itself.
Love is the funeral pyre
Where the heart must lay
Its body."
-Hafiz
A new revelation to self is a recurring theme of funeral pyres. As I fall deep into it I am trying to understand that there is Death in Love. Clarissa Pinkola Estes (Jungian psychologist) writes about this in Women Who Run with the Wolves (Ch Skeleton Woman) and so does Hafiz, the Sufi poet.

Belongingness
How do you belong? how do you fit in?
What is your tolerance level of wanting to be like 'them'?
When do you want to stop being yourself?
Where would you like to go?
Who do you think belongs with you?
Why do you stop being yourself?

Closing cases and letting go.
Acute psychiatry unit teaches you about letting go of the relationships. Sometimes you meet them only for 1 session, and you keep questioning the purpose of your existence as a 'therapist'. For better or worse, it is the way it is. In professional and personal life. You can't hold on to anything, Ever.
Also, I'm far away from home, i.e. India transitioning to another home Art Therapy (here in US),
"the other side"...

The story of God
I have been following this TV series The Story of God by Morgan Freeman. What struck me today was the statement
"Birds are flown and fishes are swum"...
any thoughts?
