A change of perspective is the best way <br />to deal with depression due to tastefully <br />wrapped Christmas gifts with allergy- <br />causing honey, chocolate and cheese <br /> <br />Delicious shivers when I read the Pre- <br />Cambrian era lasted 300 million years <br />as an ice age - 800 million years ago: <br />if we humans exist on a planet <br /> <br />That survived such disasters, why worry <br />about anything - if a sudden catastrophe <br />plunged Siberia overnight into sub-zero <br />temperatures for 15 thousand years <br /> <br />Why should I worry about losing my mind <br />when I eat - the Beresovka mammoth was <br />found frozen, half-standing, buttercups in <br />its mouth, still edible, ivory intact <br /> <br />What on earth can be worse than that? I feel <br />so much better - disasters of the past make <br />the present seem like a dream - one <br />illusion is all that I need <br /> <br />“The Atlantis Blueprint” by Rand-Flem-Ath & <br />Colin Wilson; Little, Brown and Company 2000 <br />pp 11,12 and 15<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-illusion-revised/
