There’s always a touch of real whimsy in your stream of consciousness, which I cherish, since it lets me know you don’t take yourself / your “self” / your thoughts TOO seriously--all the while enticing me along as you answer each question with several more (at times much stranger) questions... It’s what I love most about (good) existential literature and (great) spiritual literature, and there are definitely some raw nuggets of hard-earned wisdom gleaming through the background noise of the bar here! Excited to read more, and I do hope you keep writing them--even if it feels awkward to do--I’ve always found the absurd liberating, and my best ideas have often come from such streams. Who are you reading besides Stein?
Thank you friend. You said it perfectly -- it IS liberating. I haven’t read much by way of the surrealists of late, but Aragon was a recent treat (“Paris Peasant”) as is my continued devotion to Seinfeld reruns. ‘Tis my religion.

So a Jungian, a Freudian and an Epistemologist walk into a bar.....

I always love it when a subject walks into a bar. ..
Fine writer and reader of Substack—we are starting a movement to get a poetry section added to the platform. Can I ask, are you with us?
