John-What
attracts you to Buddha, etc. I like that stuff too-- and does produce some
serenity, doesn't it. I'm impressed that you pursuit the eastern principles!
Bronax-Didn't get
much from Roman Catholic church, Protestant church, four square Chistian
churches, Unitarian church. Not much though in them, just resignation to mind
manners to feel protected as child by big daddy in the sky. I like process of
actually admitting one's direct experience with life and inner parts of one's
self. I like the idea of lack of mandatory-ianous. I don't react easily to
commands.
Remember the
John Gray books. Will help you with wife and daughter, and women you work with
in School, or counsel. They react and communicate differently than males.

Subject: George: hope your Sunday went well
George,
I liked the grandma on the beach joke!
Just spoke to my brother and he said you were getting together this evening. Hope that was a good event. I'm sure he values his time with you-- you're a bright insightful guy-- and a loyal friend. Maybe you got out and about in the neighborhood?
See-you,
John
“We went to Staples and he walked about looking at the office equipment, surprised of how much and varied it all was. I get the feeling that he is not a worldcleas shopper as I am. He finally decided on box of no. 2 pencils, and electric pencil sharpener and one book, and one box of Xmass cards. Didn't have heart to tell him all this would have been so much cheaper at my hangout, 99cents Only stores. But, so far, he has plenty of money. I filled him about life alone on Social Security and my failing law business, etc.
He got real serious about that.”
I'm going to just say hello and get back to my Sunday evening-- the end of the weekend. Thanksgiving is soon and this week will be low key.
“Waiting for your brother to come I watched series of tearjerker movies, wnding with Sean Penn called I Am Sam, about low functioning adult who has normal little girl. His fight to keep her witih social services agencies , police, foster parents, etc. Heartbreaking. Message, it isn't intellectual gifts that make the true parent: its the constant love and attention and consistency, and willingness to be there at any time, any place, always, for needs of the child. Good message and very true. It is the heart of every successful therapy experience.
If patient and treater form a human bond of respect and attention and love for one another, this will bode for successful outcome, no matter who the therapist is, his theoretic basis, etc. Its the experience of an unconditional human relationship that makes healing and growth possible. The lack of this causes people to seek therapy.”
Happy Thanksgiving!
PS--
Give your young lawyer lady daughter a hug. She always needs to cuddle in the arms of her Dad, no matter what her age, no matter what his age. Its livelong acknowledgement of first time they perceived each other. Never forgotten. Holding your little daughter in your arms as a just born infant just begins it for life.”
Nov. 22, 2004: Bronax Email after Visit with my Brother
“I am pushing
the idea, not quite apropos to you yet, that those with dead parents are really
their own extended family. Your brother and I shook on it, as he was polishing down
his piece of cornbread, honey, and butter, at Crest House Restaurant, family
hang out near me. Welcome aboard this venture yourself.”
