Poems for the Summer months

[Fluidic Kimbo]

Really great poem FK and really interesting way to describe an inevitable suicide.

I'm actually glad you touched on this particular matter.

I think I'm probably lying to myself a little about the 'inevitably' of the suicide that took place in my life. Was she on a collision course for years before I met her? Yes she was. And was it probable that she would eventually kill herself? Yes it was. But I don't believe that anyone is an inevitable suicide, not even the guys in psychiatric units who've hacked themselves up a few times.

I do think that some people are so messed up that they need to be physically removed from their situation, get away from their family, get away from their neighbourhood, get away from their community, to go somewhere for residential care -- whether it's to a temple, or a rehab, or a psychiatric unit. I do think that anyone's internal emotion state, their outlook on life and their life circumstances can change in such a way that they desire to live on, irrespective of what's happened in the past.

I've mentioned before that I do a 10-day silent meditation course each year........ there's a good video about it up on YouTube where they ran the meditation course in a prison in Alabama........ definitely worth 72mins of your time:

I think you will find a lot of people here agree with you on this point.

Yeah, I'd love for that nutcase to be removed from here. But then he just comes back with a bunch of sock accounts.
