I am listening on audiobook to Ray Bradbury’s excellent “The Illustrated Man”. I may have more to say on that, and I may not, but many of his stories are best and most easily seen as metaphors. Thus, I am primed for metaphors.
And it hit me this morning that the movie “The Others” is an interesting metaphor for trauma. It is like there is a completely separate, parallel, disconnected world moving in a timeless space next to the outward one.
Connecting them is is the key, and until then, ghosts live among us.
