[MD] A formalised Code of Art

[ian glendinning]

Dan, Marsha, I think so too. Excellent.

A practical question for you.
Given that our medium is e-mail, how do we communicate the "quieting"
of that inner dialogue, to people who have not aready "got it".

(I know you're not suggesting blank e-mails punctuated by "Ommmm"'s or
total e-mail silence as the means of communication. A knotty one.)
Regards
Ian
(PS I'm not apologising for "me too" e-mails any more.)
