Lady Chatterley's Lover, et al.

D.H. Lawrence said, "Ours is a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically." When ever someone uses the word tragic I prefer to replace it with the word absurd and things are then as they should be.

I recently had someone tell me that whenever they are in a public situation they think of what I would do and do exactly the opposite, I was quite proud of this.

It is not that I wish to be known as a fool, but life has made us all fools. I think this is where the tarot deck gets things wrong. When we approach life as though we are always 'The Fool' things may not always go smooth, but they certainly go funny.

Reading Lady Chatterley's Lover the other day I was struck most by how much I wanted to be Lady Chatterley, or perhaps by how much I was already her. I want nothing more then the blending of being, the intellectual intercourse that leaves one breathless and yearning for more and the sheer physical passion that encompasses so much of life. The beautiful thing is that when I live correctly I can all of it from friends, strangers, lovers, enemies, dreams, reality, letters, words, places, and names.

So that is just a piece of everything I've thought in the last 15 minutes. Most of it was witty, at least in my mind. And, some of it had to do with Jackson Pollock.
