See also pleasure language: “The ego discourses only when it’s been hurt” (p. 54) “To escape disreality, I… link myself to the world by bad temper. I discourse against something (p. 88). “Love has a complicity with my language…” (p.98). “To try to write love is to confront the muck of language, that region of hysteria where language is both too much and...

Red Light Winter
“Complicated, I know, but the gray areas intrigued me: how we hold on to the tiniest details when we encounter someone we’re bewitched by, and how the other person might not remember the most obvious things from that meeting; the cruelty and pain of being disremembered versus the alchemy of selective memory and how we twist and distort it to rationalize and justify what we want to...

Perfect Roasted Chicken
This summer, while cooking at a friend’s house I stumbled upon the secret to super-crispy chicken skin. And it’s neither olive oil nor butter. Citrus juice! I’ve applied this preparation to whole roasted chickens and recently, through my meanderings online found the perfect cooking preparation to make your breast meat unbelievably moist and your skin beautifully browned and...

The Right Insight Leads to the Right Action
“He who knows what good is will do good.”  ~ Socrates By this he meant that the right insight leads to the right action.

Socrates was concerned with finding clear and universally valid definitions of right and...

Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times… In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it’s age old pain, It’s ancient tale of being...
