> Why not take it literally? That's a totally valid interpretation of the writing. She's a fantasy writer. Do you take her fantasy novels literally as well? Do you think she is actually riding around in her "animal" body like that alien in "Men in Black"? > Also, it's entirely your perception that it is "hounding any joy and meaning out of the words". Ummm, yes, of course it is. > For me, the idea of myself and my body being inseparable is much more joyful than the original post I also feel my body and mind are inseparable. But I don't think that Robb is proposing mind/body disassociation because I didn't read her literally. And, for all I know, maybe Robb does have mind/body disassociation and this is how she copes. In fact, because I didn't read her literally, I think she may actually be in agreement with you. Feel free to express your opinion! > I'll take the interpretation of the comment you replied to, thanks! Ok. I'm glad for you.
