[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 654646, member: 17461"] This is such a kind assessment, Copa. If you were going to say how this sister chooses to see you...what would she say? I have always seen the bright, like you. But...if these things were true of your sister, if these best things about her were truly who she is Copa, there would be love for you in her heart. There would, Copa. My sister is alive and well in my heart right this minute. The problem is that the sister I love is not real. The sister I have hates me and everything I stand for with a passionate intensity that I ignore because I want what I want. I want a sister. Not a sociopath with immediate access because I persist in believing she is who I need her to be. If we lift the curtain (like Dorothy did, in The Wizard of Oz) our illusions are going to be blown to smithereens. But when we let them go, then we understand we were always smart, we were always loving, we were always courageous. But we have to peek behind that curtain, and we have to believe what we find there. The Wizard was never all powerful. He was a salesman from Kansas, an opportunist who preyed on our belief in magic, and in forgiveness, and in love. But we never needed any of that stuff from him in the first place. It was ours, it was in us, it was what was really true, all along. Cedar [/QUOTE]
