worked with a couple today in my last session. they are the epitome of a relationship in trouble. they both are in tremendous pain but do not seem to hear that the mate is also in pain. no ability to listen to each other. no compassion. lots of yes, buts. the husband wants revenge and the wife simply wants a break from the constant harangue of criticism. i am not sure that either one of them heard what i had to say. i was quite distraught when i left the counseling office. it is a symptom of the rushing and doing that permeates our mindsets. we have to have this_________ and to do that_____. we must be seen here (______) and heard listening to_______ or talking with_____. you have to fill in all your own blanks here.
so right now i am listening to Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and now Jean Luc Ponty on his electric violin.
Flowers are blooming here. My wife has tulips coming in. I love them before they bloom. See the most recent photos at Someday Studio.
tomorrow i may also have time to get to the flower gardens at Lake Harriet.
