"I kept it in a cage,

Letting 'weirdness in' is unavoidable. We must learn to negotiate the difficult path between the destructive and the constructive; and arm ourselves against 'destructive weirdness' to move on as creative, 'self-actualized' individuals (à la Maslow). Experience is both a loss and a gain ('Die a little to get to it').

THE DREAMING is a remarkable album... 'Sat in Your Lap', 'Suspended in Gaffa' and 'Leave It Open' are windows into the machine room of the self-actualizing, self-transcending mind... THE DREAMING is a peak experience!
