Tom Petty said it first..the eternal now dictates that this is happening at all times!! (I dare say I DO HAVE WINGS!! (I still crash to the ground, however...finding that place where the eternal now is always WINGED) ...
by Georgi Johnson Trauma can be like a repeating record, a time-loop, circulating through another kind of time. The same octave notes keep repeating, said one writer, until they get heard. Yet many trauma therapies come short in matching the compulsive sense of truth that can be the perfume of most traumatic experiences. ...
As soon as we let go of the notion that there is the possibility of a life other than the one that is, we move away from suffering and into a deeper level of peace and acceptance. There isn’t some other reality that would be a better chance for you to accept yourself than this one. This is it. Pay attention. – Cheri Huber

BY Noël Hunter ~~ On trauma and madness in mental health services Each day the news appears to top itself with stories of the various ways in which we, as humans, suffer and cause suffering.

This is oppression and bigotry systemically supported and then denied by almost everyone, including those most seriously affected. We come to believe these lies. ...

We can also know which herbs will heal us and when it's appropriate to take them (a delightful thing I've learned as an amateur herbalist as I heal my brain) we are insanely out of touch with our animal selves.
