”Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eye for an instant? ”
— Henry David Thoreau
We hunger to understand and be understood. Does one take precedence over the other? Can we listen to the heart of another without knowing our own heart? Why bother?
Well, if we lived in a vacuum away from all others perhaps we wouldn’t. Tho studies show (so I’ve been told) that a prisoner in solitary for years will befriend the insects that crawl into the cell and anthromorphise it and tell it all kinds of secrets never heard by another human.
By understanding another I can understand myself better. Just as each viewpoint on reality brings me closer to understanding the overall nature of things, each person i can grock, brings me closer to the grocking of myself.
Blessings, G

Pssst: Your link has an extra letter in it so doesn’t take you to the zine… http://www.consciousazine.com/ (Glad to know I’m not the only one who throws in an extra letter here and there :>) I’m fine if you delete this after you see it.
