O for a few years between the grave and the desk!”

Once you tried to get out, you ... couldn't ... stand ... it. Don't think of getting out.”

But then there are people for whom the whole planet is a prison, who see the infinite expanse of the universe, the millions of stars and galaxies that remain forever inaccessible to them. And that awareness makes them the greatest prisoners of time and space.”

“Those who grieve frequently find themselves alone. Missed is the laughter of children, the commotion of teenagers, and the tender, loving concern of a departed companion. The clock ticks more loudly, time passes more slowly, and four walls can indeed a prison make.

Over the last four decades I have focused on healing my addictive mind and helping others do the same.”
