David, I read an article in an old issue of Time magazine. I decided to look you up and learn more. I'm glad to here that you have been able to maintain your spirit. It's good to know that you and the other vets in Graham are able to pull together and give one another support, and can show their pride in having served. I wasn't a Marine, but I did serve on a gator freighter, so I'll take this opportunity to say...well done, and Semper Fi John Harris
Hey there, stranger. Sending you a message since you asked for one. To let you know that someone out there is reading.
I transcribed your April 2018 journal entry, and I'm hoping you can feel something more than depression by the time you read this. As someone who has been there, I feel you. It sucks. Hoping that it's just the meds doing this to you. Maybe try talkin' to Jimmy about your life since he sounds like an alright kid.
There any delicious foods that you remember eating from your past? Maybe you could try being creative with the goob you're given in prison to try to recreate it. Something else creative that you could try doing maybe.
So hey, hold onto your dignity and take good care of yourself. You're not alone. Sending you a digital pat on the shoulder.
Anyway I'm trying to type all this on my phone, this site will only let me type a certian amount of words. On the last one I left off on Hyperborea so I will pick up where I left off..
Who were suppose to live exquisitely well, in accord with nature. The fourth labour, the boar has to be captured: sets the scene of spiritual rejuvenation at mid winter. Snow drifts are mentioned. The boars tusk is related to the New moon, and rebirth. He diverts rivers in order to clean out years of accumulated dung. For a task quite beyond the power of the personal conscious ego, he mobilizes the forces of nature. The cattle represent years and it is the years of filth and pestilence, I.e. the collective shadow, which is to be cleared away, cleansed and purified. The birds, the bull, the mares: refer to other vicarious aspects. Of the animal instincts in man. The girdle of the amozon queen: may be a manifestation of the Anima. Hera-cules is part trickster as he tricks Atlas in order to bring unconscious material to light. The twelfth labour, capturing Cerberus: In coming to grips with the monstrous guardian at the threshold of the underworld, he becomes free to pass between the conscious and the unconscious realms. He has destroyed the barrier between them, and restored nature, whole, of a piece. Two aspects of the later career of Heracules both point to an uneasy relationship between the heroic conscious ego and the unconscious feminine Anima. In the one he is dressed in feminine garb, doing the feminine task of spinning, as slave to Omphale, Queen of Lydia. In the other his jealous wife gives him a tunic soaked in centaurs blood, hoping to renew his animal passion for her, but he is consumed by inner fire and throws himself on his own funeral pyre: these depict two alternative fates for the conscious male ego in the second half of life, if it cannot integrate the Anima. Either the Anima may take possession of the psyche. Or the ego will consume itself, while projecting what is essentially an inner problem on to other women and thereby rousing the vengeance of feminine powers....
