understanding (n.)

well, we're bound to that,
in truth. But while
there's time I want to write I'm glad
to be alive in the same world as you,
here where
there's, yes, a wisdom in the inward parts,
where something mesenteric loosely binds us,
where you, as words are bound to tell,
have given understanding to my heart.

~ Phillip Booth, 1990

... to read if I ever get a moment's break from reading riveting psychodynamic theory ...

Nothing in the queue, but currently reading Indian Killer (Sherman Alexie) and the January 19th issue of Rolling Stone Magazine. (Did I mention our book club has been laid to rest? Sigh. Too many family of origin term papers for all of us to read much else.)
