My thoughts about The Razor's Edge will today surely be colored by 
all my reading of Octavio Paz.  I think the only thing to say is that 
1.)  Things are not as they appear.  2.)  There is no answer: future, 
past or present.  3.)  Regardless, I experience joy, believe in love, 
and MAMA is alive and well living in India.

I envy you, I've never had such a home.  But I have been comfortable 
in most places I've visited.
