True Freedom Has More To Do With

Good Therapy, Gently But Firmly, Moves People Out Of Denial And Compartmentalization. It Helps Clients To Develop Richer Inner Lives And Greater Self-knowledge. It Teaches Clients To Live Harmoniously With Others And It Enhances Existential Consciousness, And Allows People To Take Responsibility For Their Effects On The World At Large. For Me , Happiness Is About Appreciating What One Has. Practically Speaking,this Means Lowering Expectations About What Is Fair, Possible And Likely. It Means,finding Pleasure In The Ordinary.

When One Of Us Tells The Truth, He Makes It Easier For All Of Us To Open Our Hearts To Our Pain And That Of Others.

We Are A Small, Interconnected World; That We Are All Safe Or None Of Us Are; That We Are All Well Cared For Or All At Risk.

Prayer Is Vastly Superior To Worry. With Worry, We Are Helpless; With Prayer, We Are Interceding. When I Hear Sad News, I Try To Say A Prayer For The Victims. When I Am Troubled, I Will Say A Prayer That Asks For Relief For Myself And For All Those Who Suffer As I Do. When I Am Concerned About My Relatives Or Friends I Say A Short Prayer To Myself - "may They Be Happy And Free Of Suffering."

We Live In A World Filled With Language. Language Imparts Identity, Meaning, And Perspective To Our Human Community. Writers Are Either Polluters Or Part Of The Clean-up Team. Just As The Language Of Power And Greed Has The Potential To Destroy Us, The Language Of Reason And Empathy Has The Power To Save Us. Writers Can Inspire A Kinder, Fairer, More Beautiful World, Or Invite Selfishness, Stereotyping, And Violence. Writers Can Unite People Or Divide Them.
