Everything shagged with ice this morning.

Rod Philp visited yesterday - he lives now in Iowa - haven't seen him for 12 years. As soon as we touched and Pushed Hands the years slipped away and it was suddenly only yesterday we last worked together. Freud said that time does not exist in the unconscious. I guess the unconscious may be that part of the mind that resides in the heart. To become rationally aware of it we must drag it into the head where it undergoes inevitable distortions and perversions as it translates, transmutes and transduces into images and words. The idea, for us students of the heart, is to operate from a base (a giving) of faith rather than from a need for understanding: to bring the mind down to the heart rather than the heart up to the head.
