Parabiotic: Salt Lake County, Utah, United States; A telling of addictive darkness lurking beneath the surface of a civilized man. The meandering journey towards an existence of sobriety. This is explored in the persona of Parabiotic, as he recovers to a new life. The narrative uses passages from the novel composed by Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness to frame a return to the origins of a sober existence and a confrontation with the darkness of alcoholism.

SOPHROSYNE

Soundness of mind, moderation, prudence, temperance, self-control, or self-restraint.

The Greeks had a word for it, at least classical Greeks like Plato did. Translating the idea into English, however, has always posed a difficulty, since we don’t have one word that summarizes his ideal of excellence of character and soundness of mind combined in one well-balanced individual. Plato defined it as “the agreement of the passions that Reason should rule”. The idea of harmonious balance.
