    He found a genie in his hand of poker. Forgivable mistake!

    Good. I love the guy and have been a bit worried lately.

    I'm good! Thanks for caring. I have these attacks every now and then, they used to be a lot worse. I don't disassociate from reality anymore.

    Look, the way I see the post is that Sab was stressed about some things, and he chose to express it in a very creative, symbolic way. At least that is how I understood it. Not to say there wasn't some distress, but when I write, I write similar type things to help me work it out. I don't post it here, but I just thought I recognized something more than an attack in that piece--------I could be wrong.

    Yup, it was just like I needed to be Isaiah all of the sudden. You ever have that happen to you?

    I'm going to answer this carefully---because I encourage help if help is needed. But here is how it works for me............

    From one writer's perspective:

    Sometimes I get overwhelmed with anxiety, or internal struggles. It's like a war, an armegeddon, in my brain. So I will write. I will write in strong epic language---it doesn't mean that I actually see it all that way---but the piece becomes a metaphor of what I am experiencing. It doesn't mean I think what I'm writing is real, but it IS an outpouring of the battles and concerns in my brain.

    That's how I saw what you wrote. I say this carefully, because if there is something more to it, I don't want to brush that aside and say what you did is what I do, and it is helpful not hurtful.

    Is that along the lines of what happened?
