  • Power down / delete / restart

    A strange time… that seems to fuse and clarify memories of other, earlier strange times. Including the past six months. Or the past three. The Jung-Institut weeks were – not fun, but somehow necessary. Several more turns of the wheel in understanding where/who I am. And my annoyance with myself over the past year –…
