i think what your spiritual hottie said is insightful as well. sounds very much like me
and we seem to be coming from similar places...
maybe you are good at rescuing, and maybe you can use this time to focus on your own needs and wants and growth (to sort of rescue yourself, but that word is probably too strong)... many people in the 'helping professions' believe that type of thing is selfish, and that is not accurate. sometimes it's very hard for service-oriented people to focus on themselves... but those who do become better able to do the work with others, for many reasons.
i'd love to see one of your poems if you want to send a PM sometime
