Dear Brian, even as I can’t say that I can always folow the many questioning curvatures of your thoughts, nevertheless, I am always intrigued and resonate. Thank you for sincere and vulnerable explorations. Andrea

Many thanks, Andrea! (I only just noticed your comment.) Btw–I prefer to believe that each of my thoughts advance in an absolutely straight line, like a beam of light. If only the world were not corrupt, if only the universe were not curved, if only our memories were not flawed, if only human nature were not an infinitely complex web of tangled roots. Yes, these things could perhaps be problems. If only we lived in a different world, my thoughts would appear far more straightforward than they do!
