pickIn a great example of Jung‘s “synchronicity,” I was reading this book as my partner and I began to watch Bill Moyers‘s series of interviews of Joseph Campbell in “The Power of Myth.” Both really struck a cord in emphasizing the need of truly acknowledging oneSelf (both the conscious and the unconscious, the latter thru dreams) and how a psyche well-met can point to useful parallels in the natural sciences, religion and one‘s life‘s meaning.
I‘m slowly coming out of “new parent hibernation”. We took a family trip to the bookstore, and this was my pick.
picka novella that unfolds on the day Sputnik2 launches – but the real tension is domestic. Kathleen floats in a pool while her marriage teeters, while she quietly rebels against expectation. the symbolism is direct & sharp, showing what it means to break orbit in your own life. unsettling & a bit deceitful 🛰️🌏#tuesdaytreasure #uncommon #historicalfiction #literaryfiction #symbolism #shortbooks #novella
Thank you for the goodies! Especially the bookmark just when I‘m looking for one! The note is sweet as well. ❤️
I don't need much persuasion to be listening to #Finland 's national composer, Sibelius, but as it's his birthday today, it seemed rude not to mindfully do so.
Sibelius derived his Pelléas et Mélisande suite from his incidental music for Maeterlinck's play about the doomed love of the title characters. The setting is a decaying castle deep in the forest, which fits the mood of the book I'm reading, "Gossip from the Forest".

I just got an Amazon delivery that said "liquids" on the package, which made me wonder whether Amazon can read minds (I wanted to order some alcohol for Christmas presents, but haven't yet).
Dear @CaroPi Thank you for the #HHS #HauntedHollowSwap package! The book sounds intriguing and I'm honestly amazed that it has rounded corners. The chocolate is perfect, especially since I've just made tea and was looking for biscuits. ?
