If I could be honest, I would. Such extravagance, however, is not currently offered to me. The current trend in psychological therapy is to "share." Share our thoughts, our feelings. I'd rather not share because that entails vulnerability entails accountability entails feeling estranged. I'm not down with that.

Alternatively, I had a good weekend. It involved discovering the Tucson Museum of Art and the community organic garden a few blocks from my apartment. There is so much in this city that I have not yet experienced.

i have to agree with your analogy, we can not see the choices made by any individual, past or present, but only the results of those choices. perhaps the only difference is that with people alive today, we may be able to reach a more concrete understanding through deep explanation directly from the individual. but i still believe that we have so many things about ourselves that we dont understand, that in most cases, even the individual in question cannot completely convey the underlying cause of their choices.

i do agree that at some point (different for everyone) we should be able to reach an understanding of ourselves. part of the problem is that i think that it is just recently (in the human evolution) that people have really wanted to understand themselves, and we dont know how to figure that out yet (as a population)

to break it down, i agree with everything you said. its a matter of degree, i think i have less faith in the knowing of oneself, than you do.

You worry me my dear. I still miss you and the spring is slowly gaining ground here. Are you still considering a visit in April?
