I well over four feet tall. I am 45 years old. I am a shrink.

I started blogging in February, 2006. I chose the pen name Ur-Spo, as “Ur” suggests something ancient and primordial.”Spo” is a funny sounding word I remember from college days.  Saying it always made me smile.

So “Ur-Spo” sounds like the start of a joke, or something archetypal and comic.

Rather lofty, for someone who wants to just write out dribble.

My real name is Michael.

I have a long time companion. In the blog, I refer to him as Someone. This is to protect his innocence.

Here at Spo-Reflections, I write about my daily doings and thoughts, and what may be on my mind.

As a psychiatrist, trained in the Jungian school of psychology, I sometimes write about Jungian concepts -or my daily life as a physician.

Some ongoing categories you will see here:

How does that make you feel? 

I entered the 2nd half of my life open to new ideas and growth of the Self, but I would like a cup of tea, please.

I meet many bright and friendly souls along the way. I thank you for dropping by. It is an honor for me. Please leave a comment if you like something - and to tell me who you are!

May our time together be a marvelous thing.
