Dear Martin,
There is obvioulsy some difference between an echidna and other bristle beasts. I ceratinly didn'tt feel my antipodean bristles were up or out or in any way showing. But, I like the idea that I might bristle -
"I should like to learn to bristle," said Christopher Robin to Tiger.
"And then maybe I could learn how to glimmer and thistle and dance in cow dung boots in moonlight. Do you think you could show me how to do these magic things?"
Tiger pawed his nose like he always knew everything and then, realising that about such things, he didn't no anything worth divulging, today, at least, he walked off with a haughty air, his tail high and swinging.
I agree that some notion of integration, at some level, is the key. But, for me, more importantly, I think the fundamental inability to integrate such things must, in some way, be accommodated by what, in Basho's understanding of haiku, amounts to a cognitive leap. That is, the central part of the integration is the accommodation of the failure of the integration within a trascendental gesture.
I think I'm in moon light now - but just looking silly.
cheers

Hi Keith,
I obviously didn't make my point very well (I can tell by the way you are
'bristling'!).
I agree with all that you say. I was trying to make clear that it is the
candidate's responsibility to integrate the practice and theory in a
clearly readable, unambiguous way.
Best bristle-free wishes,
Martin
