I could see where someone would say that – all this personal evolution of me, consciousness experimentation etc. But here’s the thing – you’re writing the contents of your head out there for people to read. I think anyone who does that will seem “self-involved” to other people. And yet, what else are you supposed to do? If you’re going to get your writing out there for “the world”, then you’re going to write out the contents of your head. And it’s YOUR head. So I think it’s going to seem self-involved to some people. When you’re a famous author, people might still call you self-involved, but anyone in the limelight seems that way to the “other” people – the consumers of the art. I almost always think actors and artists are self-involved. By the way, the multiple acknowledgements you made of Rebekah and the girls felt good to me. Hope you feel better soon. Dave
