            I wish I knew what to do
              to get my heart back from this place.
            I don’t know who I am anymore
              and I’m not sure what I want.
            Canada seems all gray concrete and rain now
              and overseas is thousands of miles
            from anyone who loves me….
              I didn’t used to think like this.
            Lise, dear Lise, what have you done to me
              or, perhaps, what have I done to myself?
            By loving you as I have
              I’ll always know what I was missing.

         Somewhere we must balance the tendencies
           to trust and to distrust.
         Psychology has shown that adversive experience
           leaves a much deeper memory than positive experience.
         This makes sense from a survival point of view
           but it plays hell with human relationships.
         Too little trust will kill a relationship
           and too much can be self destructive.
         So once we’ve been hurt
           how do we find the balance again?
         How do we find the strength to be relaxed and secure
           and the wisdom and judgment
              to avoid another deep hurt?
