El duende is the spirit of evocation. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive.This mysterious power which everyone senses and no philosopher explains. It dilates the mind's eye, so that the intensity becomes almost unendurable.There is a quality of first-timeness, of reality so heightened and exaggerated that it becomes unreal.

Touched
This a prayer my friend Ash wrote out for me in hospital for my wall by Leunig.
Neville loves Leunig. We've got a few books of his if you want to borrow them.
