stated with bold seriousness








the emotions
 are chemicals
      in the brain


                     erin pizzey    (  one of my new heroines  )


I was slightly astonished to hear these words

I am still quite doubtful the words are correct
that they refer to something actual

instead it seems to me it is a borrowing
from rationalist thought
a synthesis of sorts

for
there's something ethereal about emotions
something that evades objective perception

i have a similar reaction to the quote

why is she your heroine?
she must have said some things that you agree with

erin pizzey was the instigator and matron
of the shelter movement in England
giving free shelter to mothers fathers and children
working through domestic violence and family tragedy

I've been listening to some interviews she has given

she's a wise woman
and I respect her view most greatly

even though she betrays a certain inherent suspicion
of organized religion
she is adamant about her faith in god
