in the afternoons,gertrude stein and i used to go antique hunting in the local shops,and i remember once asking her if she thought i should become a writer.
in the typically cryptic way we were all enchanted with,she said "no."
i took that to mean yes and sailed for italy the next day.

i seem to be turning into the quote queen,with very little original content. i guess i could do worse. my brilliant essay on via positiva and via negativa fizzled in my brain before manifesting. partly because the demons of despair showed up and cut the power.

i guess at least i've spared you the content of the bleak email i just sent to my poor sister rachel. now i may send her an apology. what i really need is a good therapist...she shouldn't have had to read that crap.
i've already seen the two therapists covered by my insurance. the first had a kind ear but no constructive guidance,insights or ideas. nor did she have good questions to help me find my own answers. the second was too abrasive for sensitive little old me and left me hating myself at the end of the last two sessions before i quit. i'd better go send my sister an apology before she rightly sends me a bill.

I love quotes. [isn't it obvious?...]

So keep posting them.

So was your brilliant essay fizzled due to talking it out (either to yourself or to another person)? I always talk stuff out to myself and therefore most of my good ideas never make it to paper. Or was it something else? (Just curious.)

Your insurance only covers two therapists? That seems odd--I am about to start working through some of my insurance company's therapists--I expect this to take a while. The last one they gave me was a complete waste of time. Nice. But dumb!
