Couldnt be a more perfect glyph River. Thank you so much for this potter's wheel with saints and demons flying from it. I know for those who dont read depth psychology or analytical psychology, the jargon around the concepts of splitting and one-sidedness can seem a bit like legal lexicons, a tangle… but this says it well and simply without having to read any precis or treatise. The grandmothers approve.

I have been blessed to read your columns the past few months Dr. E.. . . time and time again you show how to parse the divisions and splits with content and contexts which can leave one feeling the little Levi Strauss icon and the 24 mule team. . .

Also this really fits the National psyche this coming inauguration. . .will be interesting to see how the new and old come together. . .

I was thinking yesterday about how to place the year of 2008 in a few words. . .Thought of a line from a 1400's Sikh poem, this is the paraphrase: 'The Earth spins like a potter's wheel, and out from it flies both demons and saints. . .and the one that is wise keeps the focus on that which is true. . .that being love and goodness. . .

May all be blessed this coming year. . .
