Delightful read O wondrous Heir to Tarvu,
I'll try to wrap my head around buying that photo of yours, but I'm just not seeing wall space for it any time soon. Of course I would certainly have eggnog on my altar, but it doesn't enshrine well.
Yeah, the "disconnect from one's self" reference. hmmm. I guess this refers to selectively trying to carve out or box around something stuffed into an emotional memory file lodged in my 'psyche' (not realizing that doing this with leave either a dent or a bulge that just makes me have to be acutely aware of it from time to time) rather than just pulling the damn thing out, reading through and organizing it and then filing it away properly.

(And BTW, I suspect it may be your second or third already)
