Excellent Graham. More people should be reading your work on here - the tragedy of our neon age. 'To the extent that the Christianity of this time lacks madness, it lacks divine life.' Bingo! I speak as someone who grew up in a vicarage. Back to Greece and, inspired and with the end of the world perhaps more nigh than we care to entertain, I booked three weeks on a Cretan shore from the 23rd. I aim to become a minotaur and meet the goddess. I had my first bout of otherworldly madness at three years old after my father left the family and we were hurriedly rushed into our maternal grandparents' vicarage. I was hit by a terrible pneumonia and whipped off to the children's hospital where I left my body and floated, terrifed, in a blackened void. It is my abiding memory. Btw, Roger Woolger, the Jungian founder of Deep Memory Process with whom I did some training, brought n his own red book one day. I wish I couild remember more about it. Keep up the good work. I will try and stop your content landing in my spam as I want to read it. Simon
