A Word A Day Keeps the Dr. Away: inured

inured

inured: to accustom to accept something undesirable

to all those inured to war...

On the one hand, I'm sitting here this morning, comfortably eating my cereal and typing thoughts of free speech thanks to you. But as I swirl my spoon round the snow-cold milk and watch my words and uneaten Cheerios dance round the bowl, I recall all your pain and how it trickles down. You've affected my life in ways I never before imagined.

so for the things you do, that others can't. for the shit you've been through.

happy veteran's day.

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
