I didn't this time, but really must start to do these now, as a practice, they popped up in my mind, I casually mentioned them in my last post, and then, Saturday night I think, randomly turned on the HBO remake of Scenes from a Marriage, circa 2021, not even going to the episode I had previously been on last year I guess but instead, skipping ahead to one where they are not only present but become a point of contention: Oscar Isaac is in therapy, doing his pages and he wants to keep them private, except he does want to be seen, of course, and Jessica to know about their contents, to exculpate herself from whatever they might accuse her of, and so they fight about them, these pages, plucked from my own consciousness, in the now...
As I once wrote somewhere else: an image is given, and from the image rears the serpent godhead.
Usually I can very well look within. Today, though, it is easier to look back and out, and perhaps even ahead.
