A Hollowed Pit
A Hollowed Pit
Within the making
A hollowed Pit
Awakening
A mournful fit.
From within
The tortured cries
Brought by pin
Where reason lies.
Perhaps the moon
The old ones say
The Devil's Tune
Inside doth play.
Upon the mind
With silent rhyme
The notes unbind
Existing time.
Bleak symphony
Sings deceit
The harmony
A frenzied heat.
Perhaps the Sun
Or hell itself
Has begun
To free itself
Within the making
A blaze is lit
And consuming
Remaining wit.
For who is sane
When fate does call
From mortal plane
All do fall.................................

This one.
That's pretty deep, I like it and I don't normally enjoy poetry.
Thanks dudes. Ya get to the edge of reason where you run out of what you need to go further. No parachute or bridge. You either jump anyway or you stumble.

Very interesting. Although I have to say that the first time I read it, you had not provided the explanation and I cam away with a very different view.
You see, the hollow bit in the center of a sphere of plutonium is called the pit. Now you don't need a pit to make it go BOOM!!! but you get more bang for the buck (literally) if you do include a pit.
So yah, if you read it the way I did the first time around, it says something else altogether.

Really?
I have been doing the same thing since the 80's myself. What area are you in?
Personally, I deal with psych patients in a community setting. Are you familiar with the ICCD?

Ah no. ICCD is the International Center for Clubhouse Development.
Www.iccd.org
Pretty much all psych cases. Even so, we are in similar areas. I an 47 so I have a bit left to work.
As far as KISS, yah, you got that right. On Saturday, I am gonna see ManOWar live in Worcester MA.

Thread de-rail, whoo!
So, you two, do you feel like your respective programs have a positive impact on the social structure?
Everything makes more sense now that I've stopped believing.

If you want a “yes” answer, then you are going to have to ask a question that get's to yes as a possible answer.
Seriously, that is the game that we play in this field.
If you asked “can you think of a single case where the social structure was positively impacted?” then I would say yes. I can think of a bunch of times that I have done that.
On the other hand, if you were to ask if I was doing much more than spinning my wheels on lots of individual cases, then I would also have to say yes to that as well. Many of the people whom I deal with are only ever going to move from one bad situation to another. Each event merits coming up with something that will result in an outcome that is not as bad as random chance might produce.

You start off going to save the world. After all that is said and done you wanna save yourself from burnout. You are happy to see result in one outta ten. We use to reassure ourselves in saying well we planted seeds in that case. Give them time to germinate or someone else to do a little watering. With substance abuse you use to do a rough pie chart. 33 1/3 who will change because of group, 33 1/3 that would have changed regardless and 33 1/3 that will not change regardless. AA has a bout a 17% recovery rate by the way. So yes and no. medicate all you can and let nature sort the rest.
