And why are you looking at my userinfo, Mr Ed? Are you stalking me? :-)
The self as spiral came from my brother, who got into spirals in nature and art (fractoids?) - that sort of stuff. Coupled with that, I knew that Virginia Woolf had a literary theory that men created stories like peaks (heading towards a high) whereas women created stories as spirals, moving in circles in a way, but ascending as well. And I sort of agreed with it and think that the self, in a way, is exactly like that.
When are you and Sarah coming down again to visit us?

Fascinating...coincides rather nicely with this quotation I found from Justin Sullivan: "Youth tends to see things very much in black and white but as I grow older, I see it not so much as 'shades of grey' but more as a kind of chaotic Carnival of bright conflicting colours.">
I've only seen him play with Current 93 (he did his version of 'Soft Black Stars' and it was wonderful) and I must ask... is he as brilliant and lovely and enchanting with his own band as he is with others?
Actaully, we saw him & his band opening for C93 many years ago and, yes, it was everything you would imagine plus silly clothes. (A couple years after that I saw him at a piano with only a violinist accompanying and that was excellent too.)
