Because I read a lot, I have way too many books. And for some reason, I hold onto old socks too long. My wife ends up tossing them out when they get too bald in the heels and toes. <BR/><BR/>On a psychological and spiritual level, everyone clings to mental stuff (ideas, concepts, and beliefs). Letting go is hard for most people, especially of those they cling the hardest to, and that would be their concept of self (little self or ego) and their worldview (how they see life and everything in the universe).<BR/><BR/>Poetry is an interesting way to say things. Sometimes you can use it to say things in a direct, indirect, symbolic, or simply a different way that people hear what is being said. It also makes you reach inside for meaning.Don Iannone, D.Div., Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01922412641433868679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-1151037812218719562006-06-23T00:43:00.000-04:002006-06-23T00:43:00.000-04:00My OCD compels me to keep snippets of my past in m...My OCD compels me to keep snippets of my past in my basement.

Thanks for this poetic reminder of how outer-world reflects inner-world, similar to the classical macrocosm/microcosm relation.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17934386917419130389noreply@blogger.com
