Paul - amidst this tragedy, this is wonderful writing and insight. Thinking of you a lot and really moved by your fortitude and typical intelligence in the face of everything you’re going through. Hoping to see you soon. J

Thanks. I do find something therapeutic in this writing, or at the very least feeling productive is preferable to staring at the wall or watching television yet again

That is beautifully written Paul, and your humiliation/intimacy contrast is very acute. I'm reading through your diary or blog or whatever, and I'm finding it very moving. I wish you the very best, David

This is incredibly moving, intimate, and full of your characteristic clarity and insight, Paul. In case you need more book ideas, I can see something developing out of this. I, for one, have long been trying to tease out and put into words the complexities of intimacy, power, and agency with one's own body and others within and in some cases, against the norms of the dance world. We political theorists don't like to think in an embodied way, but your thoughts are giving us lots to reflect on beyond our silly Discourses. Please keep writing! x Glory
