Dear Barry, you just don't get it. You refuse to get it. It eludes you because you are stubborn, wear very narrow blinkers and have some sort of block, be it spiritual, physical or mental. You don't get it so much that you won't even be sure what it is I am talking about that you don't get. You will think about it for as long as it takes you to read these words and then move on to wherever it is your mind tends to want to go. You write words and words, it is always the same message, but they are very far from addressing what is real or relevant. You are stuck in some nightmarish, Twilight Zonish, Groundhog Day type rotating door type of repetition and broken/skipping record world of your own making. For our sake, for your sake, I am begging you, can you move past this? I mean, even a baby sitting in front of a piano can find more than one key to hit.
