Spirit Grooves

It is easy to say the self is fickle and we can laugh about that. It is more difficult to dwell on the darker side of the self, like when it is frightened and in panic, although this happens too often for many of us. In fact it is rather amazing.

And the next minute the phone rings or I open a letter with some bad news and my world is instantly topsy-turvy again.
