I read Marilynne Robinson’s words as an invitation to pay attention to the world in a way that makes space for mystery. A reminder of how an active shift in perspective can shape the landscape of the heart and imbue the world with new meaning. It reminds me of how being in therapy can open new doors within the psyche, allowing for new parts of the self to be seen and experienced. There’s something miraculous about being witness to this process; I’m continually reminded of the potential all of us have within us to grow and change.

It takes courage to look at oneself, to not look away when things get tough. Psychotherapy is what helps me not look away. Perhaps we all need help with that. I certainly do and I’m sure DW did too. Therapy helps me see, think and feel. And, to me, that is what it means to be alive.

I love this book. A collection of essays written by Anatole Broyard after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. Rather than with defeat and despondence Broyard responded with “intoxication” and wrote about the therapeutic importance of expressing oneself in the face of death. It’s a book I come back to again and again… to find myself reassured of the potency of writing as an antidote to illness and pain.

: Silence can kill…
