Ingested Exegete
Consumed contemplation, exegesis being “a critical explanation or analysis, especially of a text or the bible.” Spurned from Eric’s love of Philip K. Dick's writing & fascination with his blinding pink light spiritual experience in which PKD came to understand both that our reality is an illusion masking our imprisonment in 1st century Rome & that the pink light was a guide sent from God to enlighten & guide him.

Monkey See, Monkey Don't (Separation Anxiety)
The friction in growing into who I'm meant to be, its elision, illusion, & delusion: opening into a new freedom & a new happiness when acting on the knowledge that clinging to what clearly doesn't work, doesn't work.
