Self-Interview, April 30, 2014

Last night in my dream, the Gods touched my hair. I dreamt of an odd family, people important in my youth. They became tragic with many deaths in the family, alcoholism, relentless sadnesses. My hair parted as I slept and I saw the House of Atreus. And I woke to the long, reverbatory, mystic sadness that comes from the stars. And so I must go into the day with the tempus of the collective unconscious. As Carl Jung would say: “Better wear your good deodorant.”

Note to self: Carl Jung probably didn’t use deodorant. He was Swiss. The Swiss believe they do not stink.

Off to the baths. Marat are you coming?
