My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

Becoming Ourselves
We gather information so that it can be a resource, and what of it is of value will be incorporated, either now or at another time. But essentially we are to be developing our own sense of what we will do, basing it upon what we want to share, what expertise in living we will make available. The aim is not for us to become someone else, and so while we may consider that what others have thought, said, or believed has been important we will be most adept as we become ourselves being us doing this therapy, consulting with this person about his or her life, and helping in their making of reasonable and productive choices.
