A Powerful Man Glimpses His Demons
By Bernard Weiner
Read the whole thing, won't take long ... here a couple of paragraphs :
"I never admit weakness or uncertainty. I believe God is beside me, helping me to make my decisions, that I'm speaking for The Lord. That's just who I am. I make a lot of decisions, and my political enemies would crush me if they spotted any opening, any sign of weakness. But my wife is right. She knows how awful I'm feeling these days. Those damn dreams won't let go of me."
"Dreams and depression often are wake-up calls. So let's spend some more time on the images in that dream. We know that you were sad because of all the voices moaning in agony. Let's try to figure out other things. What does the black sticky stuff remind you of, for example?"
"Well, it probably wasn't really blackstrap molasses. You're talking to a former oil man. I know what that stuff in my dream was; I've had in on my hands many times." |
