Wish I could have attended your Nov 2 presentation.
I especially like the paragraph after the beautiful Shenandoah photo.
A friendship would imply an attachment. A certain liking of each other. Maybe even go so far as affinity for each other.
This is characterizes identity as two part of a whole: a 'normal' self, or part of ourself we want or wish to be; and the 'other'. One is the constant, familiar, living, lived memory of ourselves. Another that vague stranger we are seeking to establish some kind of relation to.
Myself this triggers a memory of a recurring nightmare I have: stranger in the room. wakes me out of sleep. One psychoanalysis suggests anxiety, just hypervigilance. Another could be this questionable companion of yours: friend or foe?
