Nov.25.2009 Gratitude: Thanks anyway, doc. from: Trust in a Medical Setting. Like most internists, part of my practice is seeing healthy patients who request physical examinations which generally prove to be genteel encounters with interesting people. Many have become friends. They return periodically for re-examination, and I...	Nov.24.2009 Like Peace November 24 LIKE PEACE Peace, like an elephant on my chest; I can’t breathe but at least we are not fighting. The rigid air hangs like sheets on the line, stiff but dry. Plastered smiles and short salutations get us through until bedtime, but what we can hold in standing up pours out lying...
Nov.13.2009 Will We Cross That Bridge When We Come to It? Part 2 In any society, a bridge is perhaps the most visible symbol of trust. And this kind of trust seldom comes into question. When most of us see a bridge, we assume it can handle the cars, trains, and gale-force winds bearing down on it. Lately, though, people in my neck of the woods realize that they...	Oct.23.2009 Jazz and Keyboards Last night my son and I went to a DC jazz club to hear the band Slumgum, whose pianist is the son of a friend. The musicians on tenor sax (Jon Armstrong), piano (Rory Cowal), bass (David Tranchina) and drums (Trevor Anderies) produced a vital and exciting mix of jazz, improv and contemporary...
Oct.14.2009 THE BEGINNING OF TRUST THE BEGINNING OF TRUST What would be the beginning of trust? For one that you would answer me, That you would be able to take in what I have told you That you could see I am changing That you could see that I understand your boundaries And now have some of my own. What would be the beginning of...	Sep.08.2009 Needing Sugar As Michael and I walked away from the ER last night, my thumb bandaged and protected from the elements and stitched, a woman and a young boy ran past us. I don't mean to type cast, but this wasn't the usual mother/son pair that I pass by on a daily basis, in either Oakland or Contra Costa County...
Aug.31.2009 The Abduction and Murder of Denise Amber Lee I am a writer. Simply because of that fact I am curious and pay attention to the world around me; I study people by watching how they move, how they gesture and even how their facial expressions play across their faces when listening, watching or participating in life. I also keep up with the...	Aug.25.2009 How Writers Protect Their Work In nearly every class or seminar I’ve ever taught, and with many of my clients as well, the question of copyright comes up, mostly in the context of How can I be sure no one steals my work? Despite one obscure author’s recent claims that Stephenie Meyer plagiarized her novel, this does not happen...
Jul.29.2009 "What was a misstep that you (or your publisher) made with publishing your first book--and how would you do things differently i Victor Volkman of Loving Healing Press published my first book, REPAIR Your Life: A Program for Recovery from Incest and Childhood Sexual Abuse in paperback. He has now decided he wants to release it in hardcover in September. I wish that we had done it in hardcover to begin with. Victor states...	Jul.11.2009 broken trust Can trust, once broken, ever be repaired? Should it be? I'm struggling with this question. It is eating away at me. I've always been very quick to trust. Always assumed others to be trustworthy. Despite continued experience to the contrary, I continue to put faith in people. Why? Am I foolish? I'm...
