For the purpose of psychoanalysis.

Occasionally, I ponder what it was like being a youngster. Allowing my mind to wander back.  Making myself 8 or 9 or 10 again.  To see what I remember. Inevitably, something specific. An incident. A happening. And I try to relive it.  A way to capture the past. And to find new and maybe profound meaning. Of course, I like to live in the now. And I do. Even when I recall the past. Because I bring the long ago into the present moment.  Often for the purpose of psychoanalysis.  –Jim Broede
