Author: Frederic C. Craigie, Jr.
I hear voices. Well, I have heard voices. Earlier in my career, my professional journals spoke to me. It would begin with a cheery greeting: “Good morning! How are you this lovely day? Here I am, ready to partner with you in helping you to become a better healer … I look forward to our collaboration.” A week later, unread, the tone would become a little more insistent: “Come come, Dr. Craigie, eleven seconds with the Table of Contents is not enough. You’re paying good money for me and, if I may say so, you need me.” I would sometimes sheepishly mumble something back about too many clients and paperwork and phone messages. The final communication was stark: “YO FRED! How can you be so professionally irresponsible as to consciously neglect my wisdom? SLOTH … that’s what it is, SLOTH … one of the Seven Deadly Sins, right?”
