I don't know if you've read it, but basically all the world has gone to hell, and within that world there is this little cult-ish kind of group. Really this group is the one really healthy thing in the world. They believe in being organic, self-sustaining, all that. <br /><br />The leader of the group says that when people in the group are depressed, they are in a fallow state. Meaning that much like growing crops in a field, sometimes the mind needs to check out, to rest, so that crops can grow there again when the soil is ready.<br /><br />I've dealt with depression off and on for most of my life, but I so believe in that concept -- that sometimes a brain can get overwhelmed and overloaded -- and that when it gets that way, you have to recognize it for what it is -- a time to dig your hands in the dirt, to tend the fields, if you will. In whatever way you need to to make sure the soil is healthy again.<br /><br />Sorry - I didn't mean to go on and on! But I can relate to what you had to say, especially the "there is beauty in falling apart" -- the beauty in it is that if you choose to make it so, it's a place that's ripe for growth.<br /><br />Thanks for being brave enough to share.amberhttp://www.celebratelovely.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218892.post-44832504551911340882010-09-28T01:49:04.395-04:002010-09-28T01:49:04.395-04:00You know I know how this goes.
