Dear all:
I am writing because I figure there are some experts on ZAMM and Lila on
this list. My students, who I referred to in a previous email, are
concerned with sex and drugs in their lives. For some numbers on student
surveys, please see:

... and click on 'Genre and theme voting' in the left-hand navigation bar.
One reference that I am interested in sharing with them from the above books
is discussion on the value of emptiness in connecting with dynamic quality
as an alternative to sex and drugs. I seem to remember a reference to
emptiness in Lila with regard to boating. Having trouble finding the
section, though.
Maybe this is it.
"Rigel was squinting at him. Despite Rigel's jaunty striped shirt and
knit sailor's cap he seemed unhappy about something he wasn't talking
about. Maybe it was that his whole purpose for this trip was to sell
his boat down in Connecticut.
So as not to get into an argument Phaedrus had told Rigel carefully,
'I think what we're buying with these boats is space, nothingness,
emptiness .. . huge sweeps of open water . . . and sweeps of time
with nothing to do ... That's worth a lot of money. You can't hardly
find that stuff any more.'"
(LILA, Chapter 1)
Anyone remember off hand where I can find it? Any other suggestions? Thank
you in advance.
Sincerely,
Otto Zequeira
