These are two ways of getting things done, but it seems to me obsession is an avoidance–of some deeper emotional hurt–and enthusiasm is an embracing, a love, a connection, a widening and deepening. This occurred to me, since I think I am making connection with the latter. The former, of course, I have long been on intimate terms with.
Note: Folks, I bought some cigars, so I will likely have more to say in coming days. If you like my sort of shit, then this will likely be the sort of shit you like.
