Another Country is telling me I am more a product of my times than I had realized. My desire to open up is in the time zone of the 60s, not of the 40s. So when clients tell me all is fine, and they are of my parents’ generation, then I want to hear that as where they grew up, and recognize that they want and need to buck up and bear their own burdens. Not being a burden to others is of their generation. Ours may be extending that with our feral independence. I need to move people and myself beyond these impasses to love. My struggle with conversation may be that I am of the hinge generation, swinging from stoicism to open love.
