Barry Stevens: "you don’t have to push the river it

flows by itself."

         To me this means the 

 time it takes    to move from one emotion to another… what Jung calls the 

'dangerous moment,’           

  the hovering between               

                    the decision to live 

 or the decision to have life be    over by one’s own actions .

  From one 

 dangerous emotion to a safer one is 

 sometimes a respite to catch one’s    breath for the next           battle of the disease.

 There are activities in     between that provide movement

to that safer 

place in one’s head and     

 heart so that one can survive the dangerous emotions/moments when one encounters 

  temptation to 

exterminate one’s self or others. 

Time moves       everything    forward. one put-put-puts 

along whether   one wishes 

  to or not. 

This seems to be the task before one who suffers this hideous disease of depression MHO. 

  It is the quality of life on   the fringes that is ravaged by a disease, of waiting for the   end and hope that there will   be moments of pleasure and joy too. I’m one that suffers. I am amazed that I can be grateful for those merciful moments of   less pain!!
