Hi Doug
I think I share your view of what I am doing
or some of it
you're not wrong
but be prepared because i have lots of harbour scenes and bay scenes; and
i want to share them
I'm a bit confused just now, not confused... you know that feeling when
the shower water hits you and then when you get out of the shower and
can't see the towel
something like those
i've been meditating / verbal diarheaing er dire hearing with a friend /
colleague as we try to put names to what we differently do
and in responding I have put a strong emphasis on aspects of my today's
sermon, which sticks in my head
but, I think you are right
READING
which may be no more
and no less
than the dog with its head through the front gate
sniffing and watching the world
SHIFTING CONTEXT (con text)
to check for simulation
to measure depth
er
bla blah
er
what you said
i can't speak
but i hear every word you say
and if you look carefully you'll see me nodding and smiling
nurse!
