I'm used to working with neglect and misunderstanding, so this has been really challenging. It's a different psychic realm. The Lion did not land easily here.

I don't even like the word 'relax'! If I have a partner and we make love a lot, then I'm in a very pure state of being.

Be stubborn and persist, and trust yourself on what you love. You have to trust what you love.

I assume the senses crave sources of maximum information, that the eye benefits by exercise, stretch, and expansion towards materials of complexity and substance, . . . conditions which alert the total sensibility - cast it almost in stress - extend insight and response, the basic responsive range of empathetic-kinesthetic vitality.

Drawing and masturbation were the first sacred experiences I remember.
