Hi Everyone.
I am on vacation, but smuggled along my portable and found a
telephone line and downloaded seventy-some messages today. I
left home too early for the June finals, a new topic has now been
elected and any comments on last month's last posts are too late.
Magnus remark about "intellectual patterns between nerve sensors
and brain" will have to remain a mystery until Intellect is brought up
again. It will not take long! :)
This month's topic is interesting and I will sketch on comments
about it, just noticed Bobby Dillon's entry - and Wavedave's - and
Cory Ramage's. His writings have the same effect on me as ZAMM
in it's time - the explosive mix of emotion and intellect. A great
writer have been lost here! No, no, never lost and never too late
Cory!
And Hamish's which was great. I am quite confident about the
MOQ's future with people like him joining from time to time.
Let's just heed Pirsig's words about its simplicity (understood by a
child) and not problematize it unnecessarily.
So long.
Bo
----Hello Bo
Good to hear from you. Thank you for the compliment but I fail to see myself a writer or much of an intellect. I have a propensity for writing, yes, but I myself have no real control over what I write and in fact it seems that I just get in the way of really good writing. My thinking muddles it up; my preconceptions of what I wish to say. If I set out to intentionally write something great, I fail miserably. I have never written anything worth a hoot. The more I try the worse it becomes until I just give up and let the writing come to me. Then and only then do the feelings I wish to convey appear on the screen in front of me, or on the piece of paper I happen to be scribbling upon, or in my mind as I walk along a peaceful country road... really it's all the same.
Hope you're enjoying your vacation, Bo. Thank you for your comments, and thank you everyone else who has contributed. I always enjoy reading the posts though I seldom have anything of value to add.

I would say, no. The only thing we are really obligated to do is survive but we certainly are not entitled to. It might be better to say we are privileged to probe the value of this vision.
