Energy Crisis
At first I was energized The diagnosis shocked me into action
The clutching fear galvanized me The details demanded attention The family’s tears called for comfort
The decisions were made
The adrenaline flowed and I was energized But one day all the energy was gone –
Physical, psychic, emotional – The days turned into weeks And the weeks into months
Now I search Each cell of my body Each corner of my mind
For one tiny spark

[R]elationships with other humans are both the foundation and the theme
of the human condition: We are born into relationships, we live our lives in relationships with others,
and when we die, the effects of our relationships survive in the lives of the living […].
Relationships thus are the context in which most human behavior occurs, and so understanding and predicting that behavior
is difficult, if not impossible, if that context is ignored.
