I've never formally met you
Yet, somehow I know you
I've met you from afar
Through musical talents
And electronic journals
Through the common use of "avoidance"
And the ponderings of secrets buried so deep
I've never shaken your hand
Yet, I'd know your voice anywhere
Smart and intelligent
Caring and passionate
We are joined by many commonalities
And we are both too hard on ourselves
Lingering in the "list" of life goals
Feeling strange by normal standards
I've never said hello
But I know your face
I recognize the smile
The happy-go-lucky persona
The "quirks" you try to hide
And how you try not to run from yourself
I've never met you
But I know you
Because deep down, you are like me

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
