Ever had to recover from a vacation? Me too. Going away for a couple of weeks means that things pile up back home and must be dealt with upon return. Sort mail? Catch up at work? Unpack? Wouldn't it just be easier to leave again? This the long way of telling y'all that you are going to have to wait a bit longer for Prof. J. to return to his usual windbag self.
So while we wait for that I'm going to expound a bit on the parson's idea about "fruitfulness" being drawn in when a person cares deeply about something or someone new. Suddenly your mind becomes hyper-aware of things relating to that person or events connected to a place one has just visited. New friends' names and work or interests are suddenly everywhere. The place you've just returned from is currently in the news. Is it? Was it always thus, but now we are aware of the connection? Has the mind been quickened by new relationships or experiences? I wonder along with Juliet who is right, her friend Sophie who thinks it's a coincidence, or the parson who believes we throw a kind of energy into the universe and a particular richness is "drawn in."
