The Journey
One day you finally knew
what
you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole
house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice
cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild
night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices
behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined
to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save. ~ Mary Oliver ~ (Dream Work) http://www.panhala.net/Archive/The_Journey.html

My name is Dr. Elizabeth Nyang and I give self-exploration workshops and hold counseling sessions for individuals and families. I help women cope with being caregivers to parents while working
a job and caring for their husbands and children. I help adolescents learn to communicate in
a calm way with their families, teachers, and other adult figures in their lives. I work with men to help them overcome issues
with co-workers, supervisors, and stressful relationships. I also provide substance abuse services for women,
adolescents and men.
