Fwd: Re: Keeping Mr . Daily

[Guest guest]

Mr . Daily ... It is apparent to me I grow backwards in communicating

.. I remember at 24 years and fresh out of a coma from a severe knife

laceration to my left arm it seemed terrible to endure the between

hours of the every few hours morphine injections so that when the time

came for the administration of the morphine it was the glory of the day

.. One particular instance of this shot of morphine I decided inner

absorption with the events and history leading to this hospitalization

was overwhelming me and the way out of my inner ravings was to achieve

communicating to my nurse anything but done holding an intention to

bring a smile . So this is what I said " You are here ! This is my

favorite time of the day , when you come with my morphine shot , and

I am glad how you are here at last . " The nurse became , by the

tone of her voice , curt and this is what she said : " you don ' t

have to be sarcastic about it ! " . My spouse comments I can show my

good taste to starkist . If a comment comes about my out pour in words

I fuss that I am being denied the right for self - expression and this

situation , of the misunderstood monster , like the Mel Young

enstein , is one that I earmark for further working on and

rehersal at another time but I literally go off the radar in terms of

what is coursing through my mind , thoughts .

What I mean by " scarey - lovely " is ponderous surf at a beach or

the look from the edge of a cliff from a massive mountain or the

sheerness of a fluid tiger . What I am attempting to convey is that

love is the ultimate power , out of suffering , and through suffering

and so it is gorgeous and scarey lovely .

I apologize , I believe the best explanation I can give is that there

lurks a timid defiance in the author , but it is all good . Accepting

faltering for a start and while improving .

faltering

\Fal " ter*ing\, a. Hesitating; trembling. ``With faltering speech.''

--Milton. -- n. Falter; halting; hesitation.

Hi Steve-

How do you feel when you write the above?

What is it you are trying to communicate to (aka yourself)?

Can you touch what you are resisting - if anything?

As I read 's communication, I was touched that such a long-term

lurker risked lengthy dialog - a second time. I too sighed as I read

his post, because he is so committed to one entering his universe in

order to be understood.

By the end of the post, I felt like - trying to understand this man is

too much work...so I just moved to the next post. I wondered if

has so beautifully set himself up for rejection by using his

own terminology to effectively exclude himself...

Just ramblin' myself...

I'm deepening my realization that everyone is equal, there is only

one, and how I treat those I wish to distance myself from is how I

treat fragments of my self- created personality...

Healing is embracing it all without losing yourself in it.

So ...I delight in your communication, but if you wish dialog,

we have to be using the same lingo...

Blessings - Jan
