    Where Is Sam Now?

    I really found this article fascinating, especially thinking about what Sam would say if he were given the chance to speak. It would be interesting to hear if he thought it possible to find a "middle way" between his two extremes, or if he was consciously playing a hide and seek game in which he could not develop a "will to love" in his daytime self's "will to power" (thank you, Frederich N.). Obviously, the writer of the article was quite willing to live and evolve with this 'ambien'(t) state of relationship, and I applaud her for that. What would be interesting to hear is why Sam backed out. If he thought he was making himself vulnerable by being a "cuddle muffin" then it might explain his actions in negating that part of his personality in the light of day.
