We may become submerged in our compulsion to help, to our detriment, which may manifest itself in constant fatigue and resentment
You are the life saver! You jump in the dark, murky waters to save someone who is drowning You feel connected and validated by helping others. What happens when the person holds on to you tightly and does not let you gasp for air despite your repeated attempts? What happens when she/he takes you deeper under the murky waters? How are you helping now? Do you sink to the bottom in the spirit of helping? or Do you get loose from the person to save your own life and then return to help? When do you decide you need to save yourself so you can help others later? Copyright . 2012 by Shervin Hojat

I greatly appreciate your writing. Especially effective I find, are your questions. They are posed, not imposed. There is a large difference in the hearing of words treated those two different ways. I like your way and the words you convey. Tending the Garden Within is certainly a healthy place to be. Thank you ~~ Diana

This brought back to me feelings of desperation I experienced when my cousin was drowning and I tried to save her. She pulled me down and a life guard saved us both. It's just sometimes time to let go and let the life guard do his job. Great poem, wise and thought provoking.

You don't read like a engineer, you read like a psychologist. As always, great advice.

New Poetry by Shervin Hojat, Ph.D.

I love being by ocean. Some people have similar impact.

Calm and Pure

Eye is window to the soul. We can experience many things looking into ones' eyes.

Your Eyes

Sample from "Symphony of My Heart which is available on Amazon"

I looked for you

We all have those times of our lives that we dig deep with awareness, acknowledge the discomfort, persist with faith toward what frees us.

Everything Upside Down

Anger denies feeling your own hurt

Anger

What if I am all taken care of?

What if

Are you aware of the gatekeeper?

Gatekeeper

We all have desires to connect and be understood and experience what cannot be verbalized easily.
