Yesterday an interview with me was on podcast. of course it’s still there. the title is “Love can’t exist in a society that doesn’t love“.  It’s in hebrew, and you can click on that sentence  if you want to hear the entire hour, but in any case I didn’t explain enough of my point.  The interview concentrated on my erotic poetry and i guess I was comfortable by the time Shlomo Hatuka asked me how I write so easily about love and making love.  I said that I feel a responsibility to pass on what I have learned and still need to learn about relationships.  And that this is connected to individual relationships as well as political relationships.  I wanted to talk more about Buber’s concept of “distance and relation” – that in order to connect, we need to maintain equally dignified identities.  I would have gone on for hours on this subject, the way we have to work with ‘otherness’, accept others, and work with it.
