[MD] Where do we all stand in relation to Pirsig's Quality?

[Heather Perella]

Khaled,

     Hope everything went well on your vacation!

     Preconceived notions... I see what you mean. 
Going in with an empty mind, a mind open, trying to
understanding, and going along with a notion until the
notion dries up, is not alive, full of experience,
does not seem to be open to what is immediately around
and with us at this very moment, and by none of these
being fulfilled and the head fills with too many
thoughts of this or that, we only become focused on
this or that and forget about everything else.  What
could possible be that open and be capable of such an
open and focused handling of life?  When I walk in the
woods I notice the small sticks laying on the leaves,
hear the bird singing in the tree, and feel the sun
way up in the sky.  I walk home and pet my dog, kiss
my wife, and relax and have fun with the simply joys
and ordinary life that this tiny skull could ever
possibly experience on the earth with sky.  Why even
talk about it and type on the MOQ?  Another of those
simple joys in life I guess - discussing, clearing the
mind, and having dialog in a conversation that flows
naturally in a way that goes wherever it may.  
     Where do I stand in relation to Pirsig's Quality?
 Well, I'm still finding out.  I like to see where we
all stand, and let the quality experienced and
enriching our lives be those coincidences found not
only in that we breath and walk, but we are here, too,
on an earth, and it being night now, an earth with
stars hovering in the sky.
      So where'd ja go? (So where did you go?)  If you
don't mind me asking.  I like these simple, ordinary
joys in life.
