At The Water's Edge

Addiction
Last year I helped a friend who had fallen foul of an addiction. One of the ways that I thought I could help him was to meet with him daily at the same time so that his old routine was broken. From our meetings I started to get the image of someone who had fallen into the gravity of a dark star, a black hole, a vortex. In that context it seemed that all of the help he was getting from myself, other friends, family and health agencies was an attempt (successful) to pull him out of the orbit of that planet so that he was eventually far enough away to prevent himself using his own power from being drawn back in again.
