To Heal Yourself

To heal yourself, you have to be yourself Buy in fully Claim the flesh body as well as the spiritual body Pay enough attention to it That it does not die from neglect Feign interest in it. To like yourself, you have to try harder. You have to look for the good. Why can you not do for you what you can do for thousands of others? Why is it so difficult to find a glimmer of yourself that is magnificent? Your muse can find it, so send her. Until you get wise. Until you become a wise woman. To love yourself, you have to own your mistakes. Take them in your teeth and masticate them with pleasure. Enjoy their salty, sweet, potato chip taste. Swallow their sweet goodness, realizing God makes no mistakes. You are as wonderful as He could make you.

Wow, here you sound like a tantric master, Caren: "If you have nothing but mistakes, enjoy them". If you have nothing, even mistakes, enjoy nothingness, but it's much closer to Buddhism) I bet both of them, a tatric and a buddhist, would enjoy this poetry. I did)

I have studied both, and have gleaned much from both. Being a spiritualist, I have no qualms about going in many directions, Kurt.

You know I do not. I am still miserable,and trying to figure out how many more days of misery I can tolerate. Saw a new doctor today. She was horrified I am on 6 kinds of meds, added a 7th to the mix though.
