The morning coffee is extra good today.
Some great quotes from the intro psychiatry book I'm reading for an exam tomorrow. Poetry can capture the truth of a phenomenon so much more clearly than lists of diagnostic criteria sometimes.
From the Anxiety chapter:
I stood stunned, my hair rose, the voice stuck in my throat.
-Virgil
From the Psychotic Disorders:
I felt a Cleaving in my Mind-
As if my Brain had split-
I tried to match it-Seam by Seam-
But could not make them fit.
-Emily Dickinson
The Mood Disorders:
I see the lost are like this, and their curse
To be, as I am mine, their sweating selves. But worse.
-Gerald Manley Hopkins
Sleep Disorders:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep...
-Robert Frost

It's a memorial tribute to my uncle wayne. Hence the name and two dates! His birthday and the day he died. He was like my father and my favorite member of my family. I felt it fitting to give him the place over my heart.
