[MD] extricating MOQ from SOM

[Rebecca Temmer]

Bienvenidos Jim and Ron!

The Tao te Ching (meditation 36) says:
"Just as a fish cannot leave his deep water,
The wise leader keeps his weapons hidden."

I use the MOQ in everday life to help me through tricky situations but of
late I've been turning to the Tao more and more.  All of our thinking isn't
for naught, though.  I'm finding more and more that my friends come to me
for advice when they're trying to find a path through some difficult time.
I usually try to give them a larger perspective on the matter - with a dash
of commiseration for whatever they're going through.  That's a useful enough
application for Pirsig's philosophy for me.  I spend my time thinking about
these things so that others can spend their time thinking of other things...
like peak oil and remediating contaminated soils... we lean on each other
and we learn from each other.  That's what society is, each person has a
place.

We cannot know who the saviour will be until the saving is over and done
with.
