     This is why dq is important.  When a rock is dq
the door is open for poetry, science, paintings, and
all kinds of stories about rocks, none, that stick by
the way, even the rock itself will change.


     I sent this post, and after I sent it, I reread
this part of the post.  It is not very clear what I
wrote.  So, I would like to restate what I meant.
     A rock is dq.  Sure this is understood in the
sense that a rock clearly a distinction is at the same
time negated.  Yet, ultimate reality is expressed not
as some empty nothingness, but as a rock.  Yet, this
rock being dq puts the whole expression in its'
ultimate context.  The rock is an analogy of dq.  The
rock is stating dq.  Yet, this rock says what about
dq?  Dq can be a rock.  Dq is nothing.  Nothing is a
rock.  A rock is nothing.  A rock is distinct, but
ultimately undefined and undifferentiated.  The
ultimateness of a rock is not confined by the rock. 
Ultimately any analogy is not confined by its'
analogy.  This is the nature of any analogy.  It is
what an analogy is.  Analogies are creative.  If dq
was totally absolute, then creativity would not exist.
 To say an analogy is dq points out the inherent
creativity and disbursement of what an analogy is.  
     Dq remains free and innocent of any of these
analogies.  Again, this is what an analogy is.  It is
free and innocent of its' own self.  True analogies
are metaphors about 'something', and therefore the
metaphor never confines, thus, is very creative.  Each
of our experiences touches upon this 'sacred', and
still this 'sacred' remains innocent, and unblemished.
  
     So, x, how is the Moq this close, by a small gap
you say, to theism? 

     Also, anybody else, try to define analogy.  What
is it?  When I did above, I kept noticing how analogy
is difficult to latch, and leaves an undefinable,
living taste about itself that can't be locked down
with static patterns.  I don't know somebody else give
a try.     

thank you for this opportunity to clarify myself.

night, gettin' real cold now,
SA
