Still Passionate and Confused

Probably. When I was young, as I remember it, my parents made very little distinction between the two kinds of activity; neither was "real." I was never discouraged from watching telly or playing games with my imagination, but it was a matter for concern for them that I spent so much time "in my head" and not in the "real" world. I suppose some of that attitude must have rubbed off on me. I think the idea that an active process of fantasy was a good thing came along a lot later.
