Listen to the Rain

Thank you. Not having to come up with an iron-clad justification for my emotions is definitely one of the things my therapist was working on me with, since it doesn't really help. As the saying goes:

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
-from The Sayings of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan

Logical arguments are intellectually satisfying, but they're not actually convincing. And I don't need a "good reason" to feel what I feel.

...I tell myself, and most of the time I believe it nowadays! So that's progress.
