Carried away like two sparks On a breeze Then we fused into one At a thousand degrees, Hand in glove, Pure possession, Reel to reel is living rarity, Seeing always seeing Color so beautiful, Try to set the night on fire
“Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire.”
- Franz Kafka to Milená Jesenská (1922)

I love Kafka. He was one of my first chosen authors in, what, junior high school? I read all I could get my hands on.
I’ve never had the Dream experience of what he describes here, though I have had it occasionally during lovemaking. I think we were given sex by the gods to remember the origins of the cosmos. What we then do with that gift is of course the stuff of legend and newsstands full of the rest 😉
Toodles ❤

Hello Bela, I first read ‘The Metamorphosis’ as a teenager, and was quite blown away by the story – like you, I went on to read many more. He even features in the jewellery I make here –

I have a Bukowski, Emily Dickinson, and . . . my brain is slow so I can’t remember, but others that need putting in the shop soon.
I get what you mean by sex, and I’m laughing at your last line hahahaha. Thanks for stopping by.

To remember Kafka, eh? I don’t ever (ever) think I fantasized about him, even though he was one of my favorite writers. Maybe if I were into S&M … sadly not a fan. Check w/Prof Taboo though. He might agree with you (on the Kafka/sex thing). 😉 Toodles.

Wow. Tubularsock feels he may be treading in very deep water here. As Tubularsock remembers Kafka did have “issues” and spent a lot of time in brothels. And was interested in pornography as well.
Tubularsock is not. The latter because Tubularsock would rather partake than look at it!

Must be you’ve hit on something key here. Even in the ocean, I swim out to the depths. My favorite spot 😉
LikeLiked by 2 people
Interesting. If you are swimming you only occupy the top two feet of any depth so unless you are a submarine what’s the point?
On the other hand, if one is thinking, “no thought” is true depth but then there is no depth! Hmmm, just how deep is no depth? Tubularsock has found it is about two feet so he might as well swim. Cheers.

The point is that one is far more buoyant and there are far larger and cooler creatures in the deep ocean. Giant mantas, hopefully not tiger sharks – that could be scary, though it would be amazing at the same time; schools of pelagic fish. And no people. That is the ‘no’ I like out there, along with being in the moment and the moment is always wonder. You stay in your two feet of water and I’ll stay in the outer forty, plus or minus. As is said in Hawaii, “Den we good.” Aloha 😉

Don’t you worry BBI, Tubularsock will stay in the boat! You may not need to worry about tiger sharks however, they seem to be having a convention in Washington,D.C.
Tubularsock too likes the “no” when it comes to people in general. And just because some may say “you’re all wet” doesn’t keep Tubularsock from liking your deep water activities for you. “Den we good”, right? Peace 😎

Esme I was so disappointed to find that it was not you dreaming of us. 🙂 The truth is I have had dreams that included my online friends. My mind provides them an image I have of them from their writings. I never tell the ones who have spent time in my dreamlands as it weirds some people out. I think it is grand and a complement. It means they stayed in my mind, my thoughts. Have a wonderful time on your cloud. Hugs

You were in my spam Scottie! Outrageous! Esme does dream of her blogger friends sometimes, and of course it is a compliment; to have infiltrated someone’s mind deeply enough to appear in their dreams is a fine thing, so long as they aren’t chasing you with a big axe and trying to cut your head off of course.
