Surely looks like it. Although I have never had to suffer through that, I can relate to the death inside. I can relate to the fog so thick, I need a dagger to cut through it and see my own hand in front of me, waiting for blood. But it never bleeds. I bearly miss and discover what everything is worth. This is death and rebirth. That must be something similar to the addiction and dependence of a drug. Once you have it, it seems so perfect, but once it's gone the fog comes back.
Sorry for my ranting. This is your work. I can't take anything from that. This is your creation.
It just seemed to inspire me from momments of the past.

God no -- of course you can take anything from my work. that's the whole point of sharing it here or anywhere.
and yeah, drugs are only one addiction. anything can be one. i've been addicted to sabotaging my self. depriving my self. anyone can be addicted to anything. even good things that become bad. i've been addicted to my ability to empathize which has at times let me neglect my self which in turns hinders my ability to help those i have empathy for. terrible cycles.
rebirth is the key. transformation. every loss and every change in life is like a death and with it follows a transformation which is a rebirth. it's how we experience the rebirth -- as traumatic or liberating, as negative or positive -- that defines us.
what frightens me is something from a philosophy i once read that essentially stated that each transformation and rebirth we have follows the same pattern as our first -- meaning that if we experienced that first one as traumatic or wrong somehow, then each succeeding one will be the same even if it is not, even if intellectually we know it is not. the feelings get stuck in the same pattern.
thanks for your sharing.
peace. --wayne

I didn't know if you were one of those people who get really possesive on here.
I agree. Any addiction can be dangerous. I'm addicted to chewing gum and even though it freshens my breath I'm expecting to here my dentist say, "Dear, God! What have you been eating? A well balanced diet of candy and sweet?" I haven't heard it yet though. *chuckles*
NO MATTER who we are in life, we have an addiction. Each one has its own level of severity.

i like that comparison. there's a line or a title for a pome there -- "I'm addicted to chewing gum and even though it freshens my breath I'm expecting to here my dentist say . . . ."
can i use that in some fashion?
