Again if want perfection, GO TO CHURCH.

Hi Marco:

Phaedrus tries uselessly to convince her (Lila) to stay with him, and is
sad when she goes (ch. 31), so he is not selfish.

Yes a synonym for Quality, just don't expect to ever know exactly what it is
or to get to it. I'm sure however that you can find a church where you may
be able to obtain both. While this mailing list is in a way 'yelping about
Quality' it is also informative and assists in refining our

Hello, he said.
Hello, she said back.
I hear you want to go back.
She looked down. Guilt. This was the first time he had ever seen her look
guilty.
He said, I think it's a very bad mistake.
She still looked down.
Why are you going back?

Sorry about that, it was just a little sarcasm (Americans have mastered that
art), and i can understand how it could be difficult to pick that up,

Interesting post. I never realized that about Vermont. But, you also have

Hi Platt,
Thanks for the information on the 'inner gesture'. I have used this several
times with partial success. By this I mean that while the 'overt' voice that
is addressed does in fact fall silent, I find there is a 'meta-voice' that
seems to partly take over. This 'meta-voice' does not have
