Healthy, stressed, struggling, crisis.

This is the spectrum.

The categories are real but fluid,

always moving in one direction

or the other.

Some, the fortunate among us, have experienced the healthy state.

ALL of us have experienced the three miserable unhealthy states.

Do not send to know

for whom these beautiful devoted servants arrive.

They arrive for thee.

How ironic that at the same time

as political democracy in our country is in crisis,

mental health democracy in our towns and cities

is on the rise!

These loving local workers are building

the foundations of our nation's mental health.

They are reaching out and reconnecting our isolated souls

one person at a time.

"I was alone in the middle of the ocean on this little life raft.

After speaking to you, I feel like this big rescue ship is coming toward me.’”

The visionary individuals creating these responsive local programs

are leading the way toward a new birth of freedom

for those of us suffering psychological pain and distress.
