Love is the goal of all other goals

Dr. Bill Shiell said "If you have a normal family, or, even if you have a functional one..." --and I think he completely captured family reality in that eloquence-- it gave me heart and courage to continue embracing my failings, to see the faults in my family, then to un-see them. It may sound cliche, but truly it is Love --impartial compassion-- which can lift us out of our normalcy. It cuts through the little interior soap operas, the despair, the imagination-projection-neuroses. It's the one time zappa was wrong: love does conquer. the beatles were right. all you need (to solve the wrongs, pains, injustices).
no matter what we do, children are definitely their own and make decisions. i teach my son "you make your choices, you'll take your consequences, whether you know it or not", i.e. some people are not even aware of their consequences, nor that those consequences are related to their choices. they just think they're on TV. *that* is the key to making a lesson received not become a lesson lost . if you learn the lesson, don't lose it.
please note that Healthy Body can be rewritten Heal Thy Body

expect a shun

whatever you're expecting, you'll be disappointed. a bit like pre-attachment.
