Place Of Healing

"Und Don Camillo Mittendrin" not a
pleasurable read, too much realism
and for that we have newspapers to
bother us, reading the Sunday paper
left me shocked and determined not
to identify with humanity, it MUST be
possible to be a nonphysical spirit as
soon as possible!

In "Don Camillo" Giovanni Guareschi
described too many instances of men
punching their wife and kids, too often
people were overcome by feelings of
guilt after planning to kill whether they
succeeded or not - promises made to
pay for outstanding services rendered
were broken

At first I thought this Comédie Humaine
bittersweet - but all too soon it seemed
plain bitterness with very little in between
seeking solace in a magic tale of a boy
stealing a magic wheelchair, discovering
his granny is a witch recruiting him for
her successor, a joyful place of healing
for my injured feelings…
