MOUNT ST. HELENS
Roger called it reaction formation. That there was an earlier time and weâd reacted. That it all came down to adaptation and reaction. It was desire and its opposite. It was the anxiety of desire. He said that some of us had chosen unhealthy reactions. Weâd become used to this. It became comfortable. You push someone away when youâd rather be close. You stop trying to please when all you want is to please.
My second grade teacher, Janet Rand, didnât care a whit for pleasing anyone. She regularly compared herself to Mount St. Helens. Sheâd get angryâher voice loud and scaryâand declare,
âMount St. Janet is going to erupt!â
Everyone was talking about the volcano that year.
