me without you

...your father's the light within all that you see

he fills up the ponds as he empties the clouds
holds without hands and he speaks without sounds
he provides us with the cow's waste and coconuts to eat
giving one that nice salt taste and the other is sweet

sends the black carriage the day death shows his face
thinning our numbers with kindness and grace
and just as a flower and its fragrance are one
so must each of you and your father become.

...why not be utterly changed into fire?

"Stern describes the process of therapy as moving along in a somewhat spontaneous and sometimes random manner until these moments occur. 

 I think about the time when I was sitting in the car with my then one-year-old daughter and we were playing with a box.  All of a sudden the top fell off and multicolored glitter spilled all over her lap, my lap and the back seat. 

We looked at each other intently and then at the exact same moment we both burst out into laughter.

This is when a now moment is turned into a "moment of meeting." In that moment there is a deep sense of connection and intimacy.

For individuals in psychotherapy who do not experience those moments, for the most part in their relationships are missing something important indeed.  When "now moments" are recognized in the context of the psychotherapy, there is the potential for a deep connection between the participants, and as the studies have indicated, this is a necessary ingredient for positive therapeutic outcome."

moments of change in therapy: when the top falls off, glitter covers everything and you look at your patient and laugh together.

now, that sounds enjoyable indeed. :)
