in places of last resort,
always to be found discarded, disregarded,
no loss,
no found,
as easy to hang on to as not,
matters not,
inconsequential so it seems,
with no purpose yet always anew,
drift wood would much ado about nothing,
drift wood nothing hear,
here for you,
an anchor you shall be,
keep you up just enough to breathe,
water board unbounded,
after all else discarded disregarded,
it matters and matters not,
never ever really to be or not to be,
water choked always afloat,
never spoken out loud,
left where lost is also found,
discarded disregarded,
silent numbness pouring wet rotten dry,
not to hear here or be there theirs,
forgotten a clutched at hand not wanted and memory not had,
drift wood would be anything else
than
a place of last resort.

I have found that one, or maybe just me, has to be alert to what is best described as dangerous listening as opposed to heart learning.

my learning, as you can see, isn’t well formed at this stage but does include a shift in the bodily responses, introception, apperception and proprioception to psychic defence and release.

A solid yet difficult read is Mind, Meaning and Mental Disorder : The nature of Causal Explanation in Psychology and Psychiatry by Derek Bolton and Jonathan Hill – I bought it on 1999 and it just keeps giving.
