Hi Johnny,

No necessarily. But I don't always associated beauty with harmony because
harmony suggests peace, permanence and resolution of conflict. In
contrast, beauty is dynamic. It comes as a surprise. It stops you in your
tracks. It's full of power.
Borrowing a comparison from Pirsig, the difference between harmony and
beauty is the difference between a dull socialist city and New York.

Nothing "scared me" about this thread. I thought my notes sufficiently
different in content to start anew. If this offended you for some reason,
I'm sorry.
Best,
Platt
