Status Updates From The Winter of Our Discontent

When a condition or problem becomes too great, humans have the protection of not thinking about it. But it goes inward & minces up w/a lot of other things already there & what comes out is discontent & uneasiness, guilt & a compulsion to get something--anything--before it is all gone. Maybe the assembly-line psychoanalysts aren't dealing with complexes at all but w/those warheads that may one day be mushroom clouds.

It has been my experience to put aside a decision for future pondering. Then one day, fencing a piece of time to face the problem, I have found it already completed, solved, and the verdict taken ... It's as though, in the dark and desolate caves of the mind, a faceless jury had met and decided.
