“I set fire to the blanket, because it was made of snow. But it did not burn, just sublimated.”
“And the zombie fire beneath the snow continues to flare?”
“Yes. Suppressed rage is often labelled insanity.”
“We are here to help you sublimate the rage,” the doctor has his most congenial expression on. Idly, I wonder if there’s a smouldering fire beneath it.
I think of my soul getting sublimated into ether, leaving the body behind, but the snow is returning, again leaving me in a fog.
My immediate thought was of a patient, speaking to his/her psychiatrist, of either a dream, or a delusion. As said above, so many, well-supported layers…in only Six. Wow!

Thank you so much, Liz! At times, patients may help the healer see things in a light they’ve not seen before.

Your Six has so many different layers to it, Reena. We’re all guilty of sublimation at one time or other (and therefore insane) yet there comes the time when we must process the “rage”. Until it snows again.

Very deep thoughts in your SSS with much left to be discovered and understood before getting out of the fog. Superbly written.

Deep, Reena (as the snow!). I love how some of nature’s elements come together here, and that there is something simmering and changing beneath the surface. The use of ‘zombie’ works so well. Such an excellent Six, bravo!
