« The Sum of All Hunger »

"The Summa [Latin for "whole"] lies before you like a book, and an unspeakable greed seizes you to devour it... You are completely incapable of grasping it." (C. Jung, Red Book, p. 270)

Oh yes, I know this existential appetite. And here's a lesson of indigestion that comes with it: a Part cannot swallow (grasp) the Whole; but, if still trying to grasp it, you can always allow yourself to be swallowed [by the "depths" of all that is].

Awe is the sum of all hunger.
