Been thinking about the war.  It hurts.  I don't understand any of 
it.  I just watched Charlie Rose who had on John Burns, just in from 
Baghdad (NYT).  He is familiar and seems real   Iraq?  What a fucking 
mess!   Honestly, I sometimes want to zoom back and visualize the 
earth floating in the sky and NOT think.  What's real?  What's 
illusion?  What matters?  What direction?  Thinking, and feeling too, 
sometimes seems like one big fur ball.

Value?  I'm not quiet sure how much you're actually suppose to think 
about Pirsig's value?  Maybe you should have three bins, one marked 
'high value', one marked 'low value' and one marked 'not much 
value'.  As the thoughts come, you just sort them into the 
appropriate bin.  But, of course, since they are constant it will 
take a while to discover the patterns.  Then when you recognize a 
worthless pattern, you toss the whole pattern into the proper 
bin.  But then, if you spend all your time sorting, you're missing 
the ever flowing, undefinable now.

So why don't you do me a favor, and tell me something great about you.
