Struggle, Might, Fluency
Henry Miller (2007). “Sexus: The Rosy Crucifixion I”, p.17, Grove/Atlantic, Inc.

Crazy, Struggle, Mad
Henry Miller (1966). “Tropic of Capricorn”

We're like a Jack-in-the-box perched on top of a spring and the more we struggle the harder it is to get back in the box.

Letting Go, Spring, Struggle
