THERAPEUTICS AS A WAY OF LIFE, Fred Newman
We are not simply interconnected by language, by culture, by custom, we are interconnected by virtue of the life activity that we engage in. And what it is that makes therapy a way of life is not so much a surgical process of straightening out what's going on in this dumb head of mine, or in the confused mixed up minds of other people, but of literally coming together -- 2 people at a time or 3 people at a time or 10 people or a thousand people -- with our interconnected ropes, so to speak, and restructuring, rebuilding, how it is that we are together
The Annual Lecture of the East Side Institute for Short Term Psychotherapy. New York. October 30, 1998.

We can recognize ourselves as part of the community of beings forever coming to know, forever unlearning what we thought was reality because we’re growing. You’re not growing if you know everything.

Kamilah Majied, “Dismantling Delusions of White Supremacy”

words by Rev. Kaaren Anderson

We Are One

Perhaps if I could pull my senses back to the scraping squeak of the window opening that welcomes in the pasture’s chorus of peepers, whose resonate tones glide over my bed sheet and mental haze, I’d be able to hear my amphibian friends’ primordial call: We are one, we are one, we are one

Perhaps if I could recall the rapid thrum of the nine hummingbirds beating wings, whipping in and out around the feeder, with a thrum, thrum, thrum on that cold Montana morning in May, I’d remember that my heart beat synched with metronomic ease to their tiny thrumming selves and rhythmic reminder: We are one, we are one, we are one

Perhaps if I could be still and lay my body on the mud along the creek behind the wood and hear the ferns unfurling in unison and the roots of the poplar stretching toward the spring, I’d remember that the universe sings a song to us, each minute, of every hour, of every day, of every year: We are one, we are one, we are one

The truth is we make this planet about us, and only us and when we do, the earth calls our separate selves back, singing: “Ask yourself, you beautiful species, How much of the planet are you really entitled to?” And with the peepers, and the hummingbirds and the ferns and the roots, I respond: We are one, we are one, we are one.

At the time of today's historical eclipse, I'm gonna wish for a long held dream to make history: full voting rights for all. Join me and the Ballot PA network this Thursday 4/11 so we can all make the dream come true:
