Arlo, Sorry I wasn't paying better attention to the weave of the thread. thanks--mel ----- Original Message ----- From: "david buchanan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 11:47 AM Subject: Re: [MD] Romantic/Classic knowledge vs quality mel: Actually, Arlo wrote that, not me. But thanks for thinking it was me. Arlo was right on and your own boat-building story is a fine example of his point, I think. I'd add that when you take up the artful approach everything is more enjoyable too, even stupid stuff like doing dishes or pitching a tent. Each time you get this little sense of accomplishment and even a sense of pride. (Not that I could build a boat and, of course, this attitude doesn't automatically make one competent at everything attempted.) I can honestly say it has improved my experience at the university, especially when compared to my undergraduate experience, when I majored in girls and beer. Speaking of which, I've got some Plato to read. Later,dmb Arlo said: I've always thought the most important part of ZMM was in reuniting "art" with everyday activity. ...aesthetic/Quality that could be (and should be) (and IS) an integral part of everything from building rotisseries to repairing a motorcycle to welding a chain guard. > mel: > A boat builder <snip> Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
