THERE COMES A TIME
June 13, 2011
There comes a time for all of us when we must:
1. learn to bake cookies.
2. eat a piece of bad fish.
3. give thanks to the avocado man.
4. admit that we’re not that thrilled with marzipan.
5. consume an entire box of chocolates and rationalize it by eating a stalk of celery.

THE BULL’S-EYE DOOR
June 12, 2011
(Therapist and patient face each other. Each is seated on a comfortable chair. A large door with a bull’s-eye painted on it looms in the background.)
Patient: I’m scared to do it because of my dream.
Therapist: Tell me about the dream.
Patient: I’m talking to you, and you tell me I have to leave by the bull’s-eye door. I don’t want to leave by the bull’s-eye door. I never had to leave by the bull’s-eye door before. So, anyway, I go through the bull’s-eye door, and a roaring lion leaps at me. I wake up screaming.
Therapist:Interesting.
Patient: Can’t I leave through the reception room like always?
Therapist: I apologize for my next patient’s early arrival, but I have a strict policy. My patients must not meet. Look at it this way. You’ll go through the bull’s-eye door and down the back stairs and out into the street. You will have faced and defeated a fear. It’s a step. Go ahead. You can do it.
Patient: Could you open the door for me?
Therapist: What do you think?
(Patient rises, reluctantly approaches the bull’s-eye door, gathers courage, rips it open and plunges through. The roar of the lion drowns his shriek. Therapist, chuckling, walks over and closes the bull’s-eye door.)
