I've been scarce around these parts of late, but if, for reasons known only to God and your therapist, you're craving exposure to my paltry little mind, I do short bits of this and that over here on the dreaded Facebook. It's where I post when I've got nothing much to say, so if you're interested in nothing, pop on over.

Always interested. Even when there's nothing new, we find something previously overlooked. Plus, ever since my therapist got arrested (yes really), i have chosen to drive my own emotional bumper car in solitude. Look out!

Now, there hangs a tale, if you're free to tell it. What did s/he do?

The imagined is always more delicious and sinful than the reality, don't you think? And speaking of the 7 deadly sins, oughtn't it to be 6? One seems rather a worthwhile enterprise.

Sorry, dear Ian, for the delay in response. A friend has been doing a bit of her own personal fear-facing. Now that i've been on both sides of this event, 'interested bystander' is by far the more difficult of the partnership.

True, true. I shall imagine the story and add it to my other Weird Therapist Tales.

And I agree. I've replaced that particular sin with "double-faulting" in my own theology.

Standing by does require a bit more in the way of focused balancing, doesn't it? Active participation is a less subtle role and, in some ways, easier.
