Jung was creative and mad, too -- he tried to raise a conceptual edifice to create a clear, scientific path to healing, but later he found that wholeness was half-dark and needed its madness else it never gain the sane ground. We write in labyrinths like this, never sure of the way, proceeding one step at a time.

I like how you use two meanings of "mirrors void of my own reflection" and this part -- "I try to find the center of who I should be, but it morphs into something else as soon as imagination becomes bored with where I am" is, it seems to me, the fate of the creative or thinking person. Sometimes self-creation is a joy, other times we're left with the ink stains.Mark Kerstetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307987573435067415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174947457823680382.post-10095779299496900522014-03-27T12:21:36.653-05:002014-03-27T12:21:36.653-05:00This reads like a stream of consciousness - one th...This reads like a stream of consciousness - one thought chasing another as the idea evolves down the page. <br /><br />This portion really struck me as profound.<br /><br />There is a threshold somewhere between sane and insane. I don’t know if I am drowning in madness or if the collective verbal condemnation is simply noise.

From the opening, you hook the reader with a sense of personal involvement--I think we've all felt this way. Being crashed against walls by others' perceptions is a great line, and a very true one--I especially loved your conclusion:<br /><br />I am forever chasing shadows with a pen<br />to capture their words so others<br />can see the voices in my head...<br /><br />That sort of says it all. Thanks so much for participating, Susie. hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
