The ties between love and attention are strong. But also between attention and life, and life and writing. I think it's about putting something into the world, into a relationship, and having that offering be accepted and returned to you.
The improvisation that unfolds when A reacts to B reacts to A. Minus that you're dead, or just shouting into the void.
The seeking of it is the only thing there is, it's just this gets covered up because the surface form of the seeking is so different.
Love is one of those things where I feel like I have a lot to say about how I view it. It's one of those things I want to write about, because I'm pretty sure I must be wrong somewhere, but then I sometimes wonder if I just hope I am wrong and I shouldn't share it because it will just sound like someone who got hurt really bad and there's nothing more to it, lol.

That reminded me of strange loops. I still haven't finished GEB, even though it might be the book that's given me the most to think about ever.

Ha, I'm in exactly the same boat. GEB is my white whale -- I've made three attempts, always run out of steam. But each time I get further!
