EM DR. Can you hear me?
Speaking to some friends about creativity, mental well being, therapy and how they overlap. It has occurred to me that I have been writing poetry for over 30 years. I have done this primarily as a way to get emotions and thoughts out of my head away from my day to day process. The similarities to therapy and even newer interesting therapy like EMDR is surprising.
The idea behind EMDR is those traumatic memories, when unprocessed, can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to a wide array of emotional and psychological difficulties - Steven Silver, PhD,
Granted EMDR relies on some more specific physical interaction, but the basic premise is closer than I would have thought. (You can learn more about EMDR over at The American Psychological Association. )
Bottom line, if you like many many many Americans, cannot afford mental healthcare take some time to be creative. Do it with some purpose and maybe it will help. At worst you have made something that wasn’t there before. In a culture where the predominant impulse is to consume…that is worth the while.
Never gets old. Merry Everything you may celebrate.

Still Hope

Wielding fire and razorblades as my tools of revelation, I sculpt emotions, experiences born from the beauty and the complexity of human experience within my socio-cultural landscape
Conservatism seems to be wholly consumed with exerting control over others due to a lack of control over yourself…..and boredomom….a lot of boredom….
I love that we will never stop discoving more about our amazingng shared history. Never stops being fascinating Scientists find 50,000 year-old lost colony off Australian coast

Dirty Day of Commerce
Happy dirty day of commerce after Thanksgiving. If you are in the spending mood please support some lovely people at Magical Jeep Distributing and Aquatic Panda Distro or if you want to go get some music don’t fret. Buy some off of Hench or the lovely Guidon Bear. Remember to support the artists in your life they are making this whole mess a bit more bearable.
I’ve got a cold and spent most of the afternoon sleeping. But, this has given me a boost. First shipment of books has arrived. To read some and for links to purchase go to https://failingtofall.com
my hot take: a very large non 0 number of people voted not for Trump or his policies, but to say FU to people telling them what to do…feels like a classic cut off your nose to spite your face scenario.
Speaking of Dune and music. In the Venn diagram of Dune fans and Industrial/acid house fans i feel like this has to be a sweet spot….
This young man has a lovely gravelly voice which reminds me of John Fogerty circa early CCR. Here he tackles the old axiom best known and loved by those Dune Heads out there. Fear is the Mind Killer. (something to remember on a day full of it)
