Replying to LO12712 --

For some reason something in Ben's remarks (thanks Joe for forwarding
them) reminded me of a passage from Siddhartha, by Hesse.

"When someone is seeking," said Siddhartha, "it happens quite easily that
he only sees the thing that he is seeking; that he is unable to find
anything, unable to absorb anything, because he is only thinking of the
thing he is seeking, because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with
his goal. Seeking means; to have a goal; but finding means: to be free,
to be receptive, to have no goal..."
