Where I do therapy?
I do therapy in my car
Under bridges
On airplanes
With strangers
Who become friends.
I do therapy with billboards at night that suddenly are alight
And with smoke stackes from factories up and down
The east coast.
I do therapy with priest and homeless and The Holy Ghost.
I even do therapy in my sleep. My dreams
Are an unseen therapist for free. We watch
Movies together, eat popcorn and just be.
I listen to trains in Antwerp, and am immediately cured.
I watch local birds until I remember my inner name procured.
I listen to the opera of sunset, if I really want to transcend.
In the end, I do therapy with everything everywhere I go.
I listen until I know
I”m see until I glow.
I put a bumper sticker on my skin so it shows,
And paint on bathroom walls again
We are more than we know-to do therapy
As I go!
I do therapy mainly with angels in my dreams,
But sometimes while playing pool with friends I just met.
Or in the alleyways of the world, where Jesus always show up.
My Healer and I, we do therapy every day.
We collaborate in healing through play!
Just there, a warbler landed near me to steal my French fries-
She and I will be doing some therapy
Just about now.
I do therapy with my wife at night
When we are trying to recall the day
And say, I know your name by heart, love.
I do therapy with the postman who
Is always talking to himself on his phone
But seems so alone.
I do therapy with my neighbor
Who just lost his parents and is building tents
In his basement. I do therapy.
I do therapy by listening well, until I know or…
Simply gazing in love into someone’s eyes.
I do therapy while trying to save a squirrel
Who got hit by a car. I do therapy in any bar.
I do therapy by riding my bike
I do therapy by loving what I like
I do therapy by singing to myself
I do therapy by trying to bless someone else.
I do therapy by taking out my trash
While singing loudly some Johnny Cash
I do therapy by eating what I please
I do therapy daily on my knees.
But I do therapy.
I do therapy mainly
By remembering I’m loved despite myself and you,
From something I can’t fully know yet or view
From above. I do therapy by telling everyone the same—
You too are named
You too are named, claimed and adored. And we
My friend, are all in therapy and nothing more.
At least that’s what my Therapist said.
