Thanks for your thought filled note. You got me. Part of getting older (Im 73) involves acknowledging those layers and being open to the ways the mitigate each other over time. My life is a series of ocean waves. My first book

Undercurrents relates to that issue as it relates to my first serious depression, But now, after 25 years of recurrent depression, I see how my life has been transformed, for the worse, but also for the better. Its also about accepting these seeming conflicts in which 2 things are true. My husband is the best person I know AND he did a really shitty thing. Then you have to live with the duality and the mixed feelings that arise. Thanks again. Martha
