We're all serious and funny, affecting and amusing: it's all warp and weft to the whole cloth.<BR/>(In "Hugo Cabret," our hero is trained as a clockmaker: he sees his value by recognizing that there are no extra parts in a clock: therefore, every part of the workings have form and function.)<BR/>You are most welcome here, and wherever you may go, I assure you, dear one!nerolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058241267779350866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519115781358057137.post-8653425990014476072007-08-03T08:45:00.000-05:002007-08-03T08:45:00.000-05:00I feel so superficial after reading your and Bee's...I feel so superficial after reading your and Bee's blogs.

You and Jai are marking the trail for us, waving us on. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Lots Of, thanks for this! I learn something from you just about every time that you speak (or type)...your students are going to be some very lucky people.<BR/><BR/>Min, you are so right: traffic needs to go both ways for the path to remain usable, and we have to be able to be the builders this time around. Thank you. <BR/>And I suppose that is one reason why my sidebar keeps the picture show: I used to live in some fairly remote places, and oftimes, roads were forgotten, were misplaced, and all at the ends of those roads abandoned. <BR/>And then, we forget what had been, and that we used to be able to walk there.nerolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058241267779350866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2519115781358057137.post-83304994021340841562007-08-02T16:08:00.000-05:002007-08-02T16:08:00.000-05:00We need to build roads from our lifestyle to their...We need to build roads from our lifestyle to theirs and allow the traffic to flow both directions.
