This is a really interesting observation. This is called EMDR. May be be a stretch, but he was always ahead of everyone else--who knows--healing his fams with his music.

And of one the books that he left in his office is "THE QUICKENING" which deals with this in detail.

ALSO, I was listening to an episode of The Prince Podcast this week, which occured right after PP opened last fall. The gentleman being questioned pointed out that the little kitchen/lounge by the atrium (which was left as-is) had a calendar in it, and it was turned to JUNE.

I did NOT notice that myself when I went to PP in April.

wow, you are right. The author of the book is a psychotherapist who uses EMDR to treat people experiencing post traumatic stress. EMDR therapy can be used with right/left eye movement or right/left sound movement.

It tells me that perhaps even one of the most hardworking and gifted musicians who ever lived, who no longer even celebrated birthdays, still, like all of us, felt the enormous weight of purpose, fulfillment, and regret under the passage of the unavoidable (it's June).

It starts off as a simple, not yet completely understood simmering in solitude.

It's Prince's birthday, but what's really weighing on his mind is the loss of what seemed so timeless. What they once shared is now of course spinning round and round immutably, but within this freshly separated space Prince still occasionally boils over with a type of martyrdom he so presciently feared. Still lost in a daydream he's abruptly awoken with the acrid smell of the reality that is now solely his own.

The pasta in my interpretation is used as a metaphor for the delicate nature of a relationship. You don't tend to it with your full focus and it'll no longer be that which you so deeply idealized.

In short, from time to time the kettle still burns.

Yes, I would agree... haunting.

Hmmm...didn´t know that. We should know that nothing coming from Prince is a coincidence
