Scaffolding

Just short--There is something interesting about dealing with someone--on a daily basis--who is mentally ill. The convolutions are so inexplicit; where there appears to be reason none exists, and the pitfalls are many. When I consider this, stepping away from it, I find that what is faulty is what I refer to as the scaffolding, that inner or outer mental framework that allows the rest of the structure to be built. If that is off kilter, or placed on an unstable ground then what is built inside it or around it will be similarly skewed. But then, it all looks so stable until one takes a step...more on these thoughts later.
