(Five scheduled session dates have passed since we held the 884th session three weeks ago; we missed four of those, but did hold a private, or deleted, session on October 10. We’ve been busy. Jane has been working hard on her God of Jane. He’s also written a number of poems.

She has complete freedom to do Conversations in her own way. The next day Jane began making notes for the introduction she’s to write for the book.

6. Seth’s passage reminded both of us of “If Toes Had Eyes,” a poem Jane wrote some four months ago, which she’s using in an earlier chapter of God of Jane. Here’s the first verse:
