Love thinking about this, especially: ”if we spend a few hours a day in that deeper, more soulful place, even when we can’t live up to that floating vision we know it exists within us

First, I loved Fellowship Point very much, and immediately bought a copy for my mother-in-law who is also enjoying it. Second, I love your Sunday thought experiment. I think art is also a form of wish making, even if it isn’t explicitly utopian. So your idea of a “higher self” seems to me a wonderful way of expressing another angle of that. I’m going to enjoy thinking about this more.

I am horrified to discover you have been to my new state and I missed you! I find SoCal provides almost daily small miracles. I like this idea that the art of crummy people may be the rising of their higher selves. But what about the dark art of people we consider good? am I the only one tired of the endless dystopias and murders and darkness of most novels? Perhaps a clearing of lesser impulses on the way to that more soulful place?
