Hi Ham,

I think that which is prior to our experience is best left 
undefined.  To me, using the word 'primary' is saying too much.  The 
word 'purpose' seems very presumptuous.  While unknowable, within my 
frame of reference (constellation of overlapping, interconnected, 
ever-changing static patterns of value) I find events and 
relationships very interesting and exciting.  Therefore, I try to 
make the 'best' of these events and relationships.  I live my 
life.  And I'm happy corresponding with you is a part of that life.
