    Hey all,
    I hate to be one of those who reads everything with Pirsig-colored-glasses
    on, but sometimes it's just too easy...

    Pirsig wrote in LILA (ch12 p178):
    "Mind is contained in static inorganic patterns. Matter is contained in
    static intellectual patterns."

    The other day I found the following words written by Emily Dickinson:
    "The Brain-is wider than the Sky-
    For-put them side by side-
    The one the other will contain
    With ease-and You-beside-"

    A philosopher and a poet can each travel their own road and reach the same
    truth. I find that reassuringly beautiful.

    take care
    rick
