Bhante Gunaratana speaking truth

"Somewhere in this process you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels barreling pell-mell down the hill, utterly out of control and helpless. No problem. You are not crazier than you were yesterday. It has always been this way and you just never noticed. You are also no crazier than everybody else around you. The only real difference is that you have confronted the situation; they have not. So they still feel relatively comfortable. That does not mean that they are better off. Ignorance may be bliss, but it does not lead to liberation. So don’t let this realization unsettle you. It is a milestone actually, a sign of real progress. The very fact that you have looked at the problem straight in the eye means that you are on your way up and out of it."

my attempt

Be patient.

Be as understanding as you can be.

Don't push.

Work on clear communication skills.

Be as non-judgmental as you can be about her process. She will progress at
her own pace no matter what you think or say, so save yourself some
arguments and heartaches.
 If you can't stand it, find a therapist to talk to. Or join a
group for partner of abused women. If there is no such group in your
community, find a therapist who would be willing to form one.

Pa: how are you?

Me: I'm pretty good

trying to get a few ours of pure relaxation and non commitment while sharon's at work and i'm not at work

thespians like to call this "alone time"

I like to describe this by taking Paddy Cheyefsky out of context: human life doesn't have great truths...we're born in doubt...we spend our life persuading ourselves we're alive and one of the ways we do that is we tell each other that we love each other...like I love you

crazy is fear.
