Who Is Mary Sue? by Sophie Collins
From the preface:
"In another book, a non-fiction, the same author recognises the ice cream parlour as a place in which personal identities are sometimes fleshed out. Here, she writes, children are generally happy to select the familiar flavours, whereas adults often experience an anxiety of self-presentations: the fear of misrepresenting their own ideas."
From the poem "A Course in Miracles":
"
...
Sometimes a divinity is more
than a mortal can stand
and he or she will burn
Sometimes earth tremors
and/or thunder and lightning
and/or smoke rising
will preface an appearance
Sometimes an appearance
relies on the complicity of clouds
...
