Current mood:  happy
From my friend Roy. Brings tears to my eyes.
"so jesse, just another word on your album. somethign little you might appreciate. First
I gotta explain where I work at. I've been living in Juneau since
september on a boat. around november or so looking for jobs, I met a
guy at a halloween party who told me about a place called JAMHI.
basically they service clients with mental illness of all degrees. He
ended up hiring me as a residential counselor in the supported living
sector. what happens is I live a couple of days of the week with
clients who display some more serious illnesses, delusions etc. and try
to curb their behavior and redirect them. I also cook their meals, give
them their meds, take them to their appointments, on outings and what
have you, all in all try and help them feel a little bit more
normalized, or maybe a better way to put it, just keep them within
bounds in their experience and behavior. I have been really enjoying
listening to hospital blossoms, and in trying to feel my way into it
more, I have been taking it with me to work and play it in the car. The
clients have been responding really well, and one exclaimed with
breathlesness "its beautiful music", and another quietly hums along.
they may not be your ordinary critiques, or anywhere fully aware what's
it all about, but they definitely feel it in their own buds. Anything
that puts a laugh and a smile and make them feel beautiful about life,
is always considered therapuetically valuable. so thanks. make my job a little easier..."
