Dear Nan:

Seeing more today into your mind and life is… mind boggling to me. I am clearer today how little of what is real we all see; how so much of what we see is a replay of what was. The being “stuck in the mud of emotions” you wrote is so very true. I realize today that indeed so much of our emotions- until we become aware and awake to reality- are leading us into dysfunctional lives. When we “fit” our emotions in childhood into whatever picture that made us feel safer, we messed up our emotions as GUIDES to functional, healthy behavior. It is that twisting in childhood.

After you re-read and as calmly as possible process the information, write to me again, will you? Let me know more of the puzzle you are re-arranging, the one congruent with reality.
