Sometimes you just feel really vulnerable, and that’s all there is to it. I’d love to hear this song recorded by Prince, though that seems unlikely these days. There are points when you can view your life with icy clarity, and what you see isn’t always comforting. So to be connected with another soul that’s also housed in a warm living body is beyond a joy: its salvation of a kind. As when the jolly alien lands on a pontoon in Lake Michigan and declaims: “You are not alone” before handing out the root beer and pretzels. And we are 8 billion separated souls, crying out to each other. In the Pit of Souls, in the primal spirit broth, perhaps we will be reconciled to each other - but that’s another story. For now, we must dwell in the vertigo of solitude.

This is a love song, really…
