Hi Mari
My art work is my song. It is sung once. After that it can only be copied.

Isn't that one of the joys of life? Discovering something new in something
you know intimately.
I would say reading ZMM for the first time was a very similar experience
for me, not comparable with creating but anyway, here I am bumbling through
life and there's a guy out there with some very good answers to a lot of my
problems. It was uplifting.
We were talking before about the Classic/ Romantic split, did you manage to
re-read that part of ZMM. I think that 's where a lot of our difficulty
lies. How you come to the work. Mari I think we (you, me, Rudy and others)
come to Pirsig as romantic people (Pirsigs description of his friends, John
and Sylvia, and his lecturer friend DeWeese), where as most of the people on
this DG come from Pirsigs analytical science based perspective, we are going
to have trouble understanding each other.
Erin supplied me with an answer for all of the tooing and froing, getting
the ideas straight in their own heads.
i want to say: Is it possible for us to agree on things.....then i think:

I always throw up when I spin around to fast so when I see one of these
mobiles I stay well away from them.
