Life is always more than you can imagine. I need many different ways of thinking about life, from a palimpsest of experience, from music, poetry and cinema and philosophy and whatever, whoever if I am to do this job of mine: psychotherapist. Lately I have become so frustrated with the narrowness of writing, thinking and all of that, which says it is directly related to this thing, psychotherapy. It’s like trying to watch a film on an iPhone.

This week I have found Elizabeth Bowen, Will Alexander, Resmaa Menakem, Fred Moten, Laura Dern and David Lynch helping me out.
