Thanks, Doug. I was fascinated with that term, "Intimacy Deficit Disorder" being used as a legitimate psychological term in a court of law - and one in that 'case' that might drive the accused to rape, molest children, etc. Actually, my Google search does not show the term at all in terms of psychological literature!
In anyone's life it's a "term" one's bound to meet at one point or other - loss or breakup with a lover, etc. . Certainly it's at the bottom of the Blues, and much great poetry (as well as a lot of not very good, but sincere poetry).
Thanks for the enthusiasm for the Obama haptic project - only 6 more days of this wonderful drawing madness & journal keeping - and making the book! Definitely put me in a 'zone' that I will probably complain about having to relinquish!
Haptic Deficit Disorder - I suspect - about to come down the pipe.

Really fascinating to see the variations form day to day, haptic to haptic,
Stephen.
Hope that's a great one day wonder(ing)....

And the mercy of the fallen
Who say they have no claim to know what's right
