Marsha:
I'm saying the content might be inorganic, biological, social or 
intellectual, but the vehicle (pattern) is mental.

Marsha:
Nature doesn't differentiate any of these things.  Not tree, root, 
earth, air, light, food, sun, rock or tree.  These names and their 
associated definitions are human invention.

It is human nature to dissect, name and define, but not Nature.  But 
as we are not separate from Nature, this dissecting, naming, and 
defining is a natural process too.

I'm just investigating static patterns of value.  I am curious.  Does 
it matter?  Probably not so much.  Better to experience the wind pass 
across my forehead.

Marsha:
I do not think a tree experiences itself as a separate entity. Nor a rock.

Marsha:
I don't think so.  As I said above, a tree doesn't experience having 
a self.  Neither does a rock.

Marsha:
The Universe is uncaused, like a net of jewels in which each is a 
reflection of all the others in a fantastic, interrelated harmony without end.
