The shaman's tambourine and the influence of psychiatry. A story.
After leaving the psychiatric clinic, the shaman enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine.
Sometimes the shaman heard the bells of his tambourine, sounding.
In such cases, the shaman took his tambourine and performed a dance in the clearing.
Various images were coming to his memory during the dance. Sometimes he saw the characters of the psychiatric clinic, in which he had to spend, in past, a lot of time.
One of the characters considered himself Napoleon. The other announced himself a great scientist. And one woman declared herself the wife of Lot, the niece of the biblical patriarch, and told everyone that she had written and published an interesting book.
Inhabitants of the psychiatric clinic listened to the niece's story collectively ... Very interesting things she tells... Her stories - in level of sophistication, by level of fiction - surpassed and the stories of Napoleon, and the memories of the great scientist...
The world of the psychiatric clinic was full of amazing characters.
The shaman liked the dances and the sounds of the tambourine. However, he was also a baptized person, a Christian.
After thinking a little, he decided to go on a trip to holy places, to monasteries ... After the psychiatric clinic, it was necessary to restore mental balance ... The influence of some patients in the psychiatric clinic was unpleasant.
The shaman walked along the road, whispering prayers, texts from the Bible. Characters from the psychiatric clinic gradually - thanks to the sacred texts, the sacred dances, fresh air and sunlight - they left him and ceased to come to his mind.
