Back in 1984 Alice Miller said, in the Preface to the American Edition of her book, For Your Own Good: Hidden cruelty in child-rearing and the roots of violence, two very important things: First “Hitler never had a single other human being in whom he could confide his true feelings; he was not only mistreated [...]

A few weeks ago, when I came into town, the handsome young man, whom I call the egret, went to church with me. He thought it was “a fun church”. How often do you see a light show from the 19th century complete with candles, incense, and a choral mass, followed by conversations with elders [...]

Tere Bin Laden, in Hindi with English subtitles, was the funniest movie I have seen in years. They poke fun at everyone and everything, especially the USA and our foreign policy behavior.

Inception and the Unconscious

Karate Kid brings up a universal theme in human development for both the adolescent and his teacher. It evokes the issue of alcohol and trauma, of symbolic structures in the psyche, and how love heals through grieving, through remembering and letting go.

My newest spirit son is covered with tattoos and looks like he stepped out of the Hispanic section of the city. He just looks that way. He’s more eastern European in ethnicity, but the black shirt and jeans makes him look like a old gangster. He invited me to my first experience of Ethiopian food [...]
