More From Jon Kabat-Zinn

The part of us that feels anger and depression is the same part that feels peace and love. if you refuse to feel the anger and the pain of a loss, you will not be able to feel anything else until that area heals. in other words, stay out of your own way. let yourself feel bad if you want to feel bad. feel joy, too. healing is taking place. give yourself the gift of healing.

When you do these things, you sort of take the journey. the journey is all about how i can interweave the oscar wilde story, the story of salome, the play itself and what it is, what it contains, and my journey as an actor, as a director, as a filmmaker, as a person struggling with whatever i'm struggling with - my own celebrity, my own life. this is semi-autobiographical in terms of my commitment to this kind of thing.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.

We had no churches, no religious organizations, no sabbath day, no holidays, and yet we worshiped. sometimes the whole tribe would assemble to sing and pray; sometimes a smaller number, perhaps only two or three. the songs had a few words, but were not formal. the singer would occasionally put in such words as he wished instead of the usual tone sound. sometimes we prayed in silence; sometimes each one prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person prayed for all of us. at other times one would rise and speak to us of our duties to each other and to usen. our services were short.

When i first started making music, i didn't really know what i was doing. i just wanted to write songs. i didn't have a concept. i didn't think it through. i was just flailing around doing what comes naturally. it took me a really long time to step back and deal with what i was doing with any kind of perspective or self-awareness.
