I am grateful for my life in America. I am well aware of the cancer within this country, but that doesn’t keep me from acknowledging the benefits.
This episode is based off the happenings in another group therapy session between two members: one, he was speaking of the trauma of his dog losing a toy while, two, the second member was speaking of the loss of two members of his family in American wars (Vietnam and the War on terror).
They both spoke in the group seemingly unaware of the content of the other.
This happens occasionally so we just sit through it, but I began to think to Walt Whitman and his poetry dealing directly with the civil war in the United States of America (1861-1865).
With Memorial Day coming up next week I thought it a good topic for this podcast.
I read Whitman’s poem “The Wound-Dresser”.
Perhaps it is true that those that praise war have never been in war, but all are brave that engage the human condition.
I am grateful, but that is all I can offer you any day of the year regardless of your place in this world.
