Happiness and the Black Dog; Scenes from the Journey, vol. 19, no. 2

Whence cometh depression?

That black dog presents itself

as the permanent face of your present

and your future.

Chemical? Emotional?

A response to trauma?

Whatever valid reason there is for the black dog's arrival,

can we hope that

his continued presence is not inevitable?

 

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps?

No, that doesn't work.

The key

(like many things, simple but not easy)

is to remove your gaze

from the beauties of your navel

and thus expand your vision to the world beyond,

the life beyond,

the merging of life in the golden threads of the network,

the matrix,

the melding of all life into one stream.

If you find this difficult

(though still simple),

you can act as if:

fake it till you make it.
