Jan this is a wonderful essay!! I loved how you use the word erotic in conjunction with the process of writing ;

« Once we begin to feel deeply all aspects of our lives, we begin to demand for ourselves and from our life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with that joy which we know ourselves to be capable of. Our erotic knowledge empowers us, becomes a lens through which we scrutinize all aspects of our existence... »

Beautiful !!

Unlike our weather which I’m finding far from erotic or inspiring ! X

Thank you Susie

We're in the UK at the moment with family and the weather here is grey and dull as snowmelt, but to feel that joy bubbling through our writing and lives is so much more colourful and alive :)

Thanks so much for including me and Mira here, Jan. To be mentioned by you in the same space as Audre Lorde (HUGE inspiration for me; I love her work on the erotic) is an enormous honor!!! ❤️
