Quoting Bill Moyers’ interview of Parker Palmer, Palmer quotes a therapist of his who helped him to get through one of his depressions at 65-year-old.:
“”Parker, you seem to keep treating this experience as if depression were the hand of an enemy trying to crush you. Would it be possible to re-image depression as the hand of a friend trying to press you down to ground on which it’s safe to stand?”"
Beautiful.
