Fi...One step beyond, and/or one step removed...:)<br /> First time for me to visit your blog. Someone i once knew said "It is that which you don't allow to happen that keeps you from being free." It seems like you let a lot happen, good for you. <br /> The blog title "Nothing exists, Despite Appearances" can be a an affirmative statement also. Kind of like a Zen box, where the front of the box depends on how your viewing it. Or like the silly little saying, is the glass half empty, or half full. <br /> I have tried the being neutral game, and it never lasts. My point of view comes rushing in and demolishes any neutrality, and so one way to respond is by creating something an expression of the multitude of conundrums that do not exist, but implore me to action, albeit always coming up a bit short of complete satisfaction...which is in truth the only way it could be in an ever changing, and disappearing illusion. <br /> I will find "Brainstorm" and absorb its' rays. Thank you for the tightrope dance!<br /><br />ChanaChanahttp://members.socket.net/~oldfreenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-70330366542968828462010-09-11T06:31:42.375+01:002010-09-11T06:31:42.375+01:00Thanks Libramoon, postapocalyptic visions have nev...Thanks Libramoon, postapocalyptic visions have never looked so appealing.No One In Particularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465987207757191972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-7306444203993148752010-09-10T23:51:30.745+01:002010-09-10T23:51:30.745+01:00relayering

Before that I had a lot of the usual thoughts about my past and felt pretty stuck - as usual. In this mood I fetched the printout I had made of your essay and then it really hit me. Maybe for the first time I well and truly understood the Shakespearean quote and how well it related to your essay and then every word of your text made absolute sense and was so vivid!<br /><br />Thank you very much for your effort and, as they say, keep up the good work!<br /><br />All the best<br />Burghard :-)Burghard Lehmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311547075033408596.post-20321328943758127982010-09-06T05:54:06.348+01:002010-09-06T05:54:06.348+01:00Hey Maury, high praise.
