XXXII
there are some things that another person can say that open a long dormant part of you, as if finding your voice after an illness.
henry miller wrote that once a writer found his voice the only thing he could write was yes, YES. the yes he describes is a resounding one, as if yelling at the top of your voice.
please allow me to add a few more, the yes of relief and joy when you first find that the object of your affection is interested in you, the yes of quiet satisfation when you have solved a problem that has been burdening you, the ecstatic yes that is familiar to all lovers.
YES YES YES
