Intervention<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love may be
\nthe ultimate
\nanti-depressant.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking
\nabout filling
\na prescription for
\nhearts and flowers
\nor a gemstone.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking of
\nremembering
\na time when,
\nfor a moment,
\nyou considered
\nwriting \u201cFinis\u201d
\nacross your
\nmanuscript,
\nif you get
\nmy drift.<\/p>\n

But someone\u2019s
\nartful intervention,
\nprobably by
\nbenevolent
\nunintention,<\/p>\n

sent you back
\nto the page,
\nso to speak,
\nwith a small
\nsmile and
\na dose of
\nideas for a
\nfew more
\nparagraphs.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where
\nthe anti-depressant
\nkicks in:<\/p>\n

Consider writing
\nyour paragraphs,
\nif you know
\nwhat I mean,
\nas another\u2019s
\nartful intervention.<\/p>\n
