    Hello All,

    dmb:
    But
    the idea here is not to enthrone the trivial or find divinity in the lowest
    common denominator, but rather to take Quality down from heaven, to rescue
    it from that abstract intellectual encapsulation and otherwise bring it
    back
    to earth.

    Mark 2-05-05:
    Agreement abounds, but it should be stressed that divinity is also in the
    lowest common denominator:
    The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a
    digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top
    of
    a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean
    the
    Buddha...which is to demean oneself. (ZMM)

    dmb:
    Personally, the phrase 'Sweet spot' conjures up images
    of tennis rackets and golf clubs, of wacking things with sticks, of country
    clubs and competitive sports. So that phrase never quite worked for me.

    Mark 2-05-05:
    Fair enough.
    To paraphrase:
    The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in tennis rackets and
    golf clubs, in wacking things with sticks, in country
    clubs and competitive sports as he does at the top of a mountain or in the
    petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha...which is
    to
    demean oneself.

    Stop demeaning oneself dmb!
    You'll go blind.

    All the best,
    Mark
