The Uncanny and Homesick Sexual Longing
As a young man I read an essay by Sigmund Freud called “The Uncanny” that continues to ripen and haunt me year-after-year as I am continually pressed to re-examine the realm of ghosts as wish fulfillment, how unrequited love compels a longing for a return to the womb and why the psychoanalyst becomes the mediator of these aesthetic spirits that chase and terrify us in our waking lives while they visit us in dreams and nightmares.

If one hopes to create something of everlasting worth, one must take deep moments to pause and contemplate the idea in time, space, and proximity to an eternal truth.
Contemplation leads to questions and answers that may not be readily provided.
It is in that chasm between the wondering and the answering that gives us context for caution against living and dying and we too often wage death over the sin of life.
