Peter - I'm SO excited - I was reading Love and Will and it's so relevant but obviously from a psychoanalystic viewpoint. Eros: "the power that drives men to God" All this death and lack of feeling and lack of meaning and driven quest for passion and feeling and some love greater than me..... it's driving me crazy that I have to go to work and think about mortgages and savings plans right now!
My journal is filling up, paper journal that is, and it's agony to put it all aside.
Lots of thoughts of sex vs. love, life vs. death, need to feel, sensation vs sensuality.... oh if only I had a year of no job and a little room with lots of pens!
sounds like a book trade is in the offing. this book wasn't written by a dr. kettlebaum in london, was it ;).
--so very tired and so full of harp's lager; that was a wonderful birthday gathering.
