1. Like the composition here and the color.

   1. Thank you!

2. It’s wonderful when you can see old advertising through peeling paint … great shot!

   1. Thanks, Jen. I’m enjoying your phobia series!

      1. Thanks to you, too! I’m glad you like them. They’ve been really interesting!

         I volunteered for an August writing project involving dogs (http://blogdramedy.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/blogshorts-the-dog-days-of-summer) (excuse her photo!). I have to read Cujo and enough of David Copperfield to understand Jip. Otherwise I’d be deep into reading about Jung … surely he has a LOT to say that would illuminate these phobias. Will have to pick it up again after August 10th. 😉

         1. Ah, dogs. In Faust, by Goethe, Faust takes in a black poodle that turns into Mephistopheles, Faust’s dark guide in his individuation process: the confrontation with the Shadow. (http://outlawpsych.com/outlawpsych/faust-mephistopheles-and-individuation). Have fun!

            1. Very interesting: “A modest truth do I declare. / A man, the microcosmic fool, down in his soul / Is wont to think himself a whole.” 🙂

               Finished Cujo; I had absolutely NO IDEA (honestly) that it was about a rabid dog or I would not have signed up for the writing assignment. (As a 10 year old, I had to get treatment shots for possible rabies exposure.) Book was very interesting though. On to David Copperfield … and then Faust! Ay! My reading list grows ever longer!

               Thanks for the link to the outlawpsych blog … it is really interesting and a lot to think about! I will keep my eye on this blog — couldn’t find a “follow” method (reader or email) though.

               I was thinking about this the other day: “…good and evil result from the same act at the same time — that the purposes of an apparent evil may work toward an ultimate good (or the reverse)”.

            2. Jen, you have a rich soul.

            3. Oh, I don’t know …
               It’s just that there are so many questions and too few answers. Or perhaps, too few *acceptable* answers. 😉

               BTW, the penguin note cards arrived today. My friend Annette will love them. 🙂

            4. I think we ponder enough questions to reach a tipping-point threshold and move into the next level, where we need to renew the so-called “beginner’s mind” all over again. There is something daunting and thrilling about that.

               Thanks for the cards purchase. I hope your friend enjoys them. :~)

            5. You’re conscious only of a single drive;
               Oh, do not seek to know the other passion!
               Two souls, alas, dwell in my heart,
               each seeks to rule without the other.
               The one with robust love’s desires
               clings to the world with all its might,
               the other fiercely rises from the dust
               to reach sublime ancestral regions.

            6. Another to add to the reading list! 🙂

3. Lloyd, apologies for my late reply. Thanks for your support! I have several translations of Faust, and I thought perhaps you might appreciate this one from George Madison Priest of the one you quote above:
   “By one impulse alone are you impressed.
   Oh, never learn to know the other!
   Two souls alas! are dwelling in my breast;
   And each is fain to leave its brother.
   The one, fast clinging, to the world adheres
   With clutching organs in love’s sturdy lust;
   The other strongly lifts itself from dust
   To yonder high ancestral spheres.”
   Thanks again,
   Evan
