SELF-DISCOVERY, HUMOR, and HEALING
One day I received an email describing my writings as "a cross between Dr Seuss, Rumi and Maya Angelou."
I was honored by this description. Somebody else described my poems as healing and "psychologically sophisticated." Poems that are formed during the deep exploration of our subconscious mind often have a healing, therapeutic effect on us. If you love Carl Jung, or you are familiar with Psychology of Dialogue, and Depth Psychology, you will find many wonderful materials for your study or for group therapy. Give your Emotions permission to speak, no matter what they've got to say, and you are on the way to the greatest victory in our life, the victory over ourselves.
"So today I allowed myself to cry. I don’t have to be embarrassed of my tears. I don’t need to justify my reasons. And oh, how good it feels..."
—from A Thin Book of Fat Poems, p. 65

THE TWO OF ME
“...You have to get off your own back,”
said my good friend, Marie. And thus I learned why I felt so heavy: I’ve been carrying the TWO OF ME." |
NO LONGER ROOM FOR STONES
"I cannot really change how tall I am
But I CAN change how tall I stand. ...I cannot really change the sound of my voice But I CAN change the colors of my expressions ...I cannot really change my bone structure But I CAN change the structure of my environment..." |
I HAD TO KILL IT
Today I chose to kill my fear,
and why? Well, let me see... It was an act of self-defense as IT was killing me! |
You can find some of these short poems in A Thin Book of Fat Poems. It is a collection of simple, clever poems about self-acceptance, empowerment, and freedom from self-sabotage, addiction, emotional eating, toxic relationship, and more.
"Each suppressed whisper of your soul that is allowed to SPEAK UP, each hidden tear that is allowed to fall, becomes like a seed of self-realization. A seed that sooner or later has no choice but to EMBRACE its blossoming, its process of becoming a spectacular, one of a kind FLOWER."

HUMOR
My supper and 3 desserts
I just ate. And ate, and ate.
And now I am ready to plan
how to lose all this weight.
And I better do it fast,
before I get hungry again.
Cause, you see, when Hunger comes
It may also eat my PLAN!
I just ate. And ate, and ate.
And now I am ready to plan
how to lose all this weight.
And I better do it fast,
before I get hungry again.

A HALF OF ME
|
Look at me.
It can’t be! There is just a half of me. And this half is getting small. Soon it won’t be there at all. So if I intend to be I must take control of me I must fatten my small half give it love, make it laugh. And if I listen to its fear, my other half may appear. LILIANA KOHANN ©Artpeace 2002 |

The Healing Poems
The Healing Poems
This drawing comes from my short poem called "And, no End," (connection, not division). I call her Lady And. Ever since I became AWARE of my "inner and outer chains," those whimsical characters that you will see in many of my poems, started showing up. They wouldn't leave until I would write down the messages they had for me. I was astounded by the wisdom they were bringing into my life. How is it possible that a character from my imagination may know more than I do? I would eventually learn that most of them represented some part of me, a part that was neglected, or often a suppressed EMOTION. I was discovering the greatness of our subconscious mind. As a child I loved fairytales and cartoon drawings. And now, as an adult, when I was giving up on life, my tiny characters reached out to me, and through my dialogs with them, they lead me to incredible, ultimate healing.
