Greetings Carrie.  A fellow Californian.  Woo hoo!  And right next door to
DQ too.  Have you ever had any relationship with that place or heard of it
at all?

I have a question about this list which is do you guys see yourself as

> is it more answering questions?

Well questions are good, intelligent questions better and piercing,
penetrating questions the best of all.

If I had to sum up my reason for "being here", I'd say it's on the last page
of my lila - I wrote about it recently in the  archives but I'll just
re-post the real relevant part to emphasize it as the best summation of why
I'm here.

"Now Phardrus remembered when he had gone to the reservation after
Dusenberry's death and told them he was a friend of Dusenberry's they had
answered, "Oh, yes, Dusenberry.  He was a *good* man.

They always put their emphasis on the *good*, just as John had with the dog.

When the Indians used good, they meant it as the center of existence and
that Dusenberry, in his nature, was an embodiment or incarnation of this
center of life.

Maybe when Phaedrus got this metaphysics all put together people would see
that the value-centered reality it described wasn't just a wild thesis off
into some new direction but was a connecting link to the center of
themselves."


Welcome then Carrie, to the connecting link of the center of yourself.

Woo hoo indeed.

John
