I’m fascinated by one particular aspect of the human condition, and based on your many many letters and comments over the many many years, I suspect that you share this fascination too.
The poet Federico Garcia Lorca called this aspect the “mysterious power which everyone senses and no philosopher explains.”
So today we’re going to talk about duende - a feeling for the mysterious and profound mix of darkness and joy that’s the secret ingredient of all love songs, and of all love itself.
We’re also going to talk about the most important thing you should do, if you’re a person who senses this mysterious power - and its ability to deliver you to a richer, deeper form of happiness.
