The most important work we can do, individually and globally, is the healing and prevention of traumas so that we don't pass them down to future generations. This blog is a working tool to contribute to this good work.
*1959 July Birthday on homestead
1959 June -Mother: "Birthday on our Homestead" - on back: "The clouds obliterated the mountains in back-ground. This was about 7:00 in the evening" -- This was John's 9th birthday - I'm the one standing alone -- again -- to my father's left - amazing for all the fire and water damage that the5 of us were so nicely preserved!1959 June closer up - cannot focus it more -- I look SAD! I am NOT a part of the 'darling family'!
My body language — too rigid, I look isolated, dejected, rejected and scared, again like a paper cut out figure pasted onto the family picture – I think my sister put it something like this, that I look “stripped of a self” in these pictures, and she’s exactly right.
