Anything BUT an Ivory Tower...

She sits in her chair, concocting and devising
PRACTICAL means in which to help people...in which to SHED LIGHT...
And she does so with extreme humility and grace...
So much so that you cannot help feeling that she's your FRIEND...
and not just simply your CLINICIAN....
And she NEVER sits in that ivory tower...
Ohhhh, NO !
She makes you feel LOVED and REVERED and BELIEVED IN....
things that are SO alien to you, that you WEEP from relief...
the relief that someone is ACTUALLY listening...
that someone out there is as SMART and as DEEP and as EVOLVED as you are !!!
And the 'fair haired' woman allows you to reach out....to ask for help....(without shame)
She even lets you bounce those all encompassing,
grandiose ideas of yours off of her in the after hours...
She goes ABOVE and WAY BEYOND anything you've experienced thus far...
And you thank GOD that you found her....
a mentor...a lady....a contemporary....
