Butterfly Words: Relationships: A Psychiatrist's Narrative

The words collected here were written because they were a necessity at the time. For each occasion they fulfilled a specific and sometimes different purpose: reflect on a relationship engage in a new one or mourn a lost one. Sometime the necessity was out of duty towards those who were left behind or to share a happy or sad experience or trying to master and anticipate those experiences. Relationships are at the core of these writings. The relationships could be at the individual level familial communal at a national level or even broader. They could also involve multiple levels. Over many years these writings were stored as we collect memories as souvenirs collect dust. Until one day I started dusting off those real or imagined memories. They were gathered and they met in this collection. And then they started talking to each other communicating without any control like a Golem escaping his creator.
