The Mirror And Photographs

[CVC]

More thoughts I had on this: If your self--your body, your soul--is the source of inescapable pain, then it makes sense to me that one might adapt by psychologically pushing away the source of the pain (the self). To me, feeling disconnected from one's body, feeling disconnected from photos or images, or feeling disconnected from one's feelings are all part and parcel of the same dissociative pattern (strategy?) for escaping oneself, and for escaping pain.

Lord, this is like the onion that never ends no matter how much peel. The amazing and wonderful thing is that every post is right in that it represents a part of the issue at hand. I remain truly humbled by the collective power of "us".
