Dear Tara, William James is a
treat, combining philosophy
which I love, with psychology
which I hate, and theology, a
suspicious subject, and coming up
with Pragmatism - with
this straightforward strategy I can
get on.
Quantum physics shows that it is
the power of our belief which
makes things true and gives form
to the jellylike substance of
potential reality – waiting for
us to fill it with meaning.
This is how I know prayer is fulfilled
– not because of a Jupiter
in a statue-like pose, but the magnetic
focus leading us to the
things we love to define and
analyse.
My desire is to escape from the
terrible self-flagellation for being
incapable of producing the kind
of acceptable work that will prove
me normal and not Quasimodo, the
hunchback of Notre Dame.
And I wish for a MIRACLE for you;
that you get well and we can
have fun because you were born
with a fountain of joy in you and
illness made joy seem to fly away
– but that fountain of joy is with-
in you and will well up every
time you relax in contentment.
There is a sparkle in you, a
shimmering and sizzling – and this will
never go away. YOU are MADE of
fizz, sizzle, popping bubbles and
razzmatazz - walking on the
clouds is what you do and the clouds are
waiting for you – now you’re
lounging about - yet the clouds will
always be there for you to
bestride as soon as joy lifts you again!
