INTRACTABLE STATES: SCHIZOPHRENIA

Schizophrenia is a devastating disease. Broadly, our culture has no charitable or nurturing way to shelter those who wander and struggle with grinding mental pain. We can only help with long armed tongs. The law is both friendly and frustrating. More on the details in later posts.

For now, on this Thanksgiving 2007, I want to acknowledge those for whom the cornucopia of America is filled mostly with a few grains and some rocks.

Those of us blessed with plenty on this Day need to think of those who don't and who don't on a 24/7/365 basis. And their family who will forever need to be patient, forgive and accept the inevitable anguish and helplessness.

May we remember those least able on this day celebrating the plenty.
