Psychoanalysis: The Magic and The Lie
Diary of a Five Day A Week Analysis
by Esther Altshul Helfgott, Ph.D.
February 2002
In My Dream
Patience covers the earth
like a down blanket
that warms
fingers
in Afghanistan,
Uzbekistan, Georgia,
the West Bank, Gaza,
India, Africa,
Bosnia,
the United States.
In My Dream
Humility is a mansion
whose roof oversees
soldiers shedding guns
and whose rooms
house world leaders
shaking hands.
In My Dream
Gentleness is no coward.
Love is borderless.
Beams of light have not replaced the two towers.
Danny Pearl is alive.
In My Dream
Poetry raises children
who know peace.
