  • A Blessed and Charmed Personal Odyssey a Blessed and Charmed Personal Odyssey
    A Blessed and Charmed Personal Odyssey The invitation to write this autobiography came a few days after the horrific events of 9/11/01. I put pen to paper soon thereafter (my usual first draft style), a difficult task owing to growing feelings of sadness, if not despair, and the gnawing fear that the tragedy may have brought an end to a unique and wondrous period in mankind’s history – the open and free humanistic democracy of 20th century America – a time when persons of all backgrounds could retain not only their sense of invulnerability, but the freedom to become whatever they may have aspired to, that is, “ to actualize their potentials” as my old mentor, Kurt Goldstein, may have put it. Once more we must brace ourselves to live life as my forefathers had for centuries past, to survive in the face of unrelenting hostility and degradation. Our vision of impregnability has forever been blinded by an adversary so pernicious that nothing, not even the extraordinary goodwill and opportunities of the past several decades, could prepare us sufficiently to withstand, that is, to keep us from recognizing that nothing will ever be the same. Both a tangible and a psychological barrier have been irrevocably breached; our continental shores have been penetrated and our psychic structures destabilized. Our sturdy bastions of physical safety and secure futures have been forever pierced. Our sense of material and psychological inviolability has naively been taken for granted, and our innocence has protected us from having to deal with an unblemished future that might come to an end.
