Here's a nice quote from T.S. Eliot sent to me by my tennis buddy Lefty down in the desert:
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."

Here is an article that opens with the T.S. Eliot quote that may be of interest to readers:

TT, what a fitting quote, I love it.
Shawnsmith, I really can't thank you enough for posting the link to that amazing article. Having been raised by a mentally ill mother and a father whose own mother was also mentally ill, it is so very helpful. I printed it out to share with my best friend, whose childhood was even crazier than mine. I at least had some sense of off-and-on support and love, while she never had any at all. As I read through it I made the connection between all of the people who've loved me, in their own ways, but couldn't give me what I wanted and needed from them, and I finally understand why I always feel so disconnected and alone. And I can cry, without being afraid or ashamed of doing so or feeling like it's just a waste of time and energy. That's a really big breakthrough for me.
Best regards to all,
Corey |

Shawn, thanks for finding and sharing that amazing link. I was perusing the entire site and found another awesome article about accessing and using anger, which is going to help me a lot.
