Groundhog Days - Timely Intercourse

This book comprises my "Groundhog" essays and my public spiritual intercourse with Melina Costello, poet, teacher and counselor, author best known for Tutti-Frutti Town: Blinky Blueberry Finds A Friend (1991) and Seeking the God of Ecstasy: A Spiritual Journey of Sexual Awakening (2010). The latter work, a culmination of her decades devoted to the practice of meditative disciplines, is an account of her mystic encounters with Dionysus, praised by no less than Jungian analyst and best-selling author Robert A. Johnson (1921-2018). When a few people became aware of my public correspondence with Melina and my interest in a sacred snake, they thought I was going mad, that I was talking to myself. that "Madame Me" was really me. Well, that is true, in a way, for one is nobody without somebody and a medium of communication. People who take the time to read a few of the articles in this little book will get to know better the Me in us all.

David Arthur Walters is an independent journalist who lives in the South Beach area of Miami Beach, Florida. David Arthur Walters is a poor man's writer-wunderkind who takes on the philosophical big guns of our age with sleight-of-hand logic and epistemological flourishes worthy of Foucault. But don't let that fool you. In a pinch he can write a play based on La Dame aux camellias, no doubt inspired by Dumas, and render sidewalk chalk-art tres chic after Picasso. Baudelaire could easily have been his drinking buddy if we were to imagine time in reverse, which Mr. Walters compels us to consider through the Ouspenskian lens of Eternal Recurrence and other stuff worthy of a Dali painting a la melting clock faces. Herein lies the genius of David Arthur Walters, jack of all trades and master jester of Nan, that far-off land in which lived the holy fool of William Blake's prodigious imagination. Writer, dancer, word-artist, satirist, and clown, David Arthur Walters brings it all to the page, compelling us to wave our hand-fans in astonishment at the nerve of the man, the impropriety, the utter genius of his whackadoodle mind. May his works live on in the annals of Time! (Melina Costello, Author of Seeking the God of Ecstasy: A Spiritual Journey of Sexual Awakening, Tutti-Frutti Town: Blinky Blueberry Finds A Friend)
