[MD] A formalised Code of Art

[Heather Perella]

Gene, and I believe it is Dan Glover, that are
involved in this discussion,


      [Dan?]
> > Tell me about your very first sip of beer.
> Remember? What was the taste?
> > Not what did it taste like, but what was the
taste? I
> remember and I bet you
> > do too. Tell me.

      [Gene] 
> Gag, disgust, effort,  gradual enjoyment,
> acceptance, joy.

      [Dan?]
> > >Tell me of the color red.

      [Gene]
> > >  blood, heart, sky, hate, love, family, loud,
> shade.

      [Dan?]
> > Please tell me about red. Not things red. I am
> color blind. I've seen
> > blood
> > but for me it is a just another shade of grey.
> You're not telling me
> > anything here.

     [Gene] 
> I am describing for you Precisely what red is for

> Red. They are the things I

     [Dan?]

     [Gene]

      [Dan?]

     [Gene]

     I believe, both you know where the other is
coming from?  Gene is relating experiences using
words, and these words relate very real experiences. 
Dan is pointing at the experiences that Gene is
putting into words and Gene is in a very real way
discussing experiences, too.  I don't know if this is
what you are doing or not Dan, but you're just
pointing out how the actual experiences can not be
solely confined by words.  Gene you are or are not
pointing out experiences, as well, using examples and
such.  Dan is marked on the experience that words only
define.  Gene is marked on the experience, as well,
but might not be perceiving Dan's point, which is no
matter how much we talk about red, red will still have
an experience you won't find in this black and white
typed email.
     Or maybe, this is my mind carving what I will,
and you two are discussing something else.  

Sorry if this intrusion of mine is off-target.  If it
is - ignore.  If it is not - well do what you two
will.
