~Edvard Munch

Self-mutilation a crushing despair Helpless rage, no solace anywhere Inner directed emotional surge Urgent outlet, implosive urge With self-awareness to your own self be true Project not unto others what's shameful in you Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemyPOET into a friend--MLKJr./I Am Anaya Written 5/28/22

Ah, so, Anaya! The antagonist has to be receptive to love, however, if I may say so. Some people love themselves and are so absorbed by self-love, they are not receptive to love from others. Good stuff!

Laughs! As a wise sage once said...If you can't beat 'em--runaway! Thank you, kindly Milt, for your visit and your comment. If anything, we could all enjoy the painting. :) Please take good care of yourself!

How gritty and wise, oh my, well put Anaya...The turbulence is palpable. Your sagacity is both driving and theatric! The scream, munch masterpiece most apt. A fav..Robert

Great quote and Poem. And many need a therapist. We are short of them. I see plenty of self love! Jealousy too. Wellness is despised. Neuroses is adored. A Nutso World. Many are druggies and don't know it. MLK would never be allowed by BLM. He was way above them Pangie
