Yes, thank you for emailing this to me. There is indeed much connection to my 2013 self-portrait. When I got to the point about an internal marriage of our own divine masculine and divine feminine, which is what Hesse's Narcissus and Golmund is about and I have read four times starting as a high school assignment and the last time a couple of months ago, I started to tear up and I'm doing so now (wine might also be contributing to the flow of emotion). Maybe the reason I haven't yet written the essay about my relationship with the book is first I needed to read yours.
