after a very rough week
after coming up close and touching noses with despair and hopelessness
(in other words, after being home for a brief time, in a home that is disintegrating)
(greetings from snowy #Romania )
it felt immensely soothing to read the conclusion of Ziziek's latest newsletter article:

"[...] every exercise of freedom is possible only against the background of suicidal self-negation which, hopefully, remains a mere potentiality"
