If, I have never shared this concern about this list. I view it as a
conversation now as always. It's as though a group of thoughtful women
and men in conversation were standing around a pub. Some engage and
disengage from conversation to conversation. A few remain focused on a
particular topic longer than others, so perhaps around these individuals
there grows a fluid and dynamic repartee.
Each person, though, is affected in a unique way. That the effects of the
interchanges or dialogs is not immediately manifest does not diminish the
essence of the ebb and flow of dialog. Nor are the precincts of the pub
devalued by an apparent lack of "application of principles".
Personally, I have been inspired many times by your thoughts and those of
many other contributors to this list. I grasp and turn over slowly in my
hands from time to time the certain ideas which bond to my spirit. Isn't
that how it works, ultimately?
