This was a hard day. I knew it would be. So I cleaned and watched TV and listened to podcasted dharma talks and took a nap and at the last of the apple sage sausages from last week's trip to the Flying Pigs Farm stand (they weren't there today, which was one of many reasons why the market wasn't as much fun as it usually was).
But I think what's really made me feel better is sitting zazen a couple of times and watching a bunch of last season's Gossip Girl episodes.
About Me
- the other woman
- "She did not know if she did it on purpose, but she lived as a fatality the necessity of destining her pleasure to the absent one, who moreover was not always the same, the other of the other always possibly being an other. This is naturally, and here I have to quote her, a 'surplus' of always available pleasure, and a 'fatal deprivation.' After a silence: the day that I love someone, man or woman, I am certain, or I believe that it will stop, in any event this is how I will recognize love. I have loved a lot, however, without ever abandoning myself to those I loved, presently I mean. And up to the present. Another silence (I had already asked for the bill) and without anything provocative or vulgar, with a kind of confidence which I still like to think of: I have the feeling that with you [vous] it would be different." (Derrida, Envois)
