Zen Buddha & a Lonely Snail: 'The Lonely Snail'
http://lonely-snail.blogspot.com/2008/07/lonely-snail.html
Thursday, July 10, 2008. To grass, or leaf, or fruit, or wall,. The snail sticks close,. Nor fears to fall, As if he grew there,. House and all Together. Within that house secure he hides,. When danger imminent betides. Of storm, or other harm besides of Weather. Give but his horns the slightest touch,. His self-collecting power is such. He shrinks into his house with much Displeasure. Where'er he dwells, he dwells Alone,. Except himself has chattels None,. Well satisfied to be his own Whole treasure.

Zen Buddha & a Lonely Snail: Bipolar Disorder
http://lonely-snail.blogspot.com/2008/12/bipolar-disorder.html

Our emotional state of being varies constantly, and can fluctuate between these two extremes on a daily basis. Although some fluctuation in mood is normal, when it becomes so extreme that the person feels like their mood state shifts through low and high periods, this can indicate the presence of bipolar disorder.

Zen Buddha & a Lonely Snail: 'The Unhealable Disease'
http://lonely-snail.blogspot.com/2008/10/unhealable-disease.html
Saturday, October 25, 2008. To lay in sorrow today, tomorrow. To want in your mind, yet feel in your heart. That there is a life, but it is not yours. The Unhealable dream of being your part. That your soul is a toy, never filled with joy. Hot iron to the feelings, unmitigated hate. Left on the brink of the life ending days. Not one considerate note only a calendar date. Longing with love returned not ever fret. Destroyer of love and bringer of regret. Who be these ghosts of times long past. I'am as lone...

http://lonely-snail.blogspot.com/2008/12/mirrors.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Emotional pain is most difficult to bear when its origins are obscure. Many of the symptoms that we experience result from our inability to connect the memories from our past to create a cohesive and sensible story of our life. Some of these memories have been suppressed in order to protect us from being overwhelmed by particularly painful experiences. The protection, unfortunately, is incomplete and requires considerable mental energy to sustain. Zen Buddha and a Lonely Snail.

Saturday, October 25, 2008. I am Bi-Polar, this is what I have to keep telling myself.
