This prison does not have to have bars of steel,
but the barriers to freedom, remain just as real.
There is no judge that can free her on bail,
and no able lawyer 50-868that can keep her from jail.
It started so simply, just a phrase here and there,
or maybe a memory, that vanished in thin air.
She was starting to repeat, things she'd already said,
offering only faint clues as to what lay ahead.
She slowly grew worse,50-876 as the seasons passed by.
She knew something was wrong, but not what, nor why.
To try to go anywhere would become such a task,
for over and over,50-877 the same questions she'd ask.
Then came the times when in anger and fear,
she'd beg: "Please help me!" and weep bitter tears.
Now for some time she has lived here with us,
and every evening she makes such a big fuss.
"I want to go home!! Why can't I just leave?"
The answers we give her50-886, she just can't receive.
Slowly, but surely, the disease shuts her in.
Now we can see, the beginning of the end.
What is this illness, with no cure we can find?
Alzheimer's Disease, it's a prison of the mind.
“I thought suicide and death were the only way out.” When Katie came to Liverpool to do “the Work” as part of the Road to Recovery Event we caught up with her at the Hope Street Hotel.
Katie caused quite a stir with her techniques. It was a challenging session for some of the audience but as the days and weeks have gone by more and more people are beginning to identify her approach as one well worth consideration. There seems to be a consensus that one size doesn’t fit all and that there needs to be space given to look at all approaches and methods.
George Williams was able to quiz Katie about her own back story and to share her own personal insight into the Work and how it might be relevant to people working in the drugs field.
As Katie’s web site says: Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry called The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves— radically shift and their lives are changed forever.
Based on Byron Katie’s direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen and paper and an open mind.
Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and eliminate it there. Katie not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.
This is Part 1 of the interview and also contains clips of some of the sessions Katie did as part of the Road to Recovery event. Part 2 will follow next week.

The reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up.
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
