Dearest darling SA:
You seem to think I'm advocating some kind of anti-intellectual sensuality
or romantic hedonism. That was definately NOT my point.
Philosophers are creative while philosophologists are merely productive but
both of them handle abstractions and take critical thinking seriously.
But maybe that's just because I'm more of a city-living, coffee drinker.

Exactly! This is what my dad used to say to me a
lot when I would get all abstract and stuck in the
head: "So, what's that have to do with the price of
coffee?" He was following in the tradition of my
grandmother who advocated being practical, and the
wisdom, she was a very wise women, she was, yes, very
wise. And I may still go on saying this and analyzing
that, at times, but I still come back to drinking tea,
walking in the woods, listening to music, washing the
dishes, chatting, and such in this quiet place. When
I do come back to these experiences I notice how I
conclude the same, and enjoy the sweet notion in
living. Even while I sit drinking tea and my mind may
wander/wonder as the walk in the woods is a wander,
and still I'm just drinking tea, wondering about this
experience that is tea drinking. What might this
wander have to do with tea drinking? This
wondering/wandering each time while I tea drink and
still, I find myself just drinking tea. So, what's
this have to do with drinking tea...well, the
conclusion I keep finding is - drinking tea - that's
what drinking tea is a conclusion of.
snow lit bright,
