”Who put these fingerprints on my imagination??”

"You can only tell the shapes of things by looking at their edges…" FmH is a weblog by Brookline MA psychiatrist Eliot Gelwan, since November 1999 . Who knew it would be so much fun being a curator?! What gets linked to here? Quite simply, things that grab me while I'm reading, and which I hope will grab you, help you embrace or confront your dreams, hopes, fantasies, and demons. "In quoting others, we cite ourselves." ~ Julio Cortazar

…and now a word from our sponsor:

 

“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”

— R.D. Laing
