Replying to LO3729 --

Jim, thanks for your wonderful response. It forwards my thinking and
offers new material for deeper exploration. And with grace and art
besides. I don't usually comment on responses but the process of
this particular dialogue has been particularly instructive to me.

I almost didn't respond after a round or two because it looked to me
like we weren't speaking to each other but over each other's
statements. And then it blossoms like a flower and leads to new
areas, new openings (for me at least) and new explorations. And all
completely unexpectedly.

Had I given up, we would have had a rather shallow exchange of
opinion instead of value. Had you given up, I would have lost what I
gained from your last post.

This is the source of the richness I find in participating on this
list. Thank you.
