Subject: eros... glossed
From: michaelP <michael-AT-sandwich-de-sign.co.uk>


Some thoughts, barely thoughts: there are times when one is in a state or
mood that can only be immediately and crudely described as a powerful
desire, but not a desire for this or that; in this mood one grows, blows up,
expands without seemingly physically changing at all; one is nearer the
world somehow, almost (but, precisely not quite) touching the presence of
every thing, feeling that tantalising presencing of absolutely everything,
ta panta. For the most part such a desire for nothing-in-particular is
glossed and diverted into a desire for some thing that can satisfy such for
a whiling, a tarry along with the satisfying and frustrating things about;
but this desire for nothing is the strong river that 'powers' such tributary
streams of desires for this and that. And I ask, what is this river?
