Bibliotherapy

Bibliotherapy session with Nina from Melbourne this morning. Mostly I want another perspective on my reading, a possible way to organize and focus. It’s not so much that I need this; I can find books on my own and have done for years; but, I want to think through, with someone else, a way of concentrating my effort. Time is not infinite for us finite beings, at least not with the books available on this planet.

Skype has a magical quality. The old videophone of the bright cartoon illustrations of the future made real. Like space travel, landing on the moon. How it performs with no time lag in the conversation is still a mystery to me. This morning it will take me half-way around the world, to a continent I’ve never visited, to speak with a person I’ve never met. Nina comes as a referral from Simona in London where I connected with the School of Life.

Think of that. The colonies communicating with the old homeland for connection. In real time.

Well, about time to start. More later.
