For a moment, just a flicker of a flash of an instant,
it seems that Quality lights up the illusion for what it 
is...that any division exists.

--or--
Sometimes, when I leave the back door open, the
dog tracks in mud and leaves and I have to clean
it off the kitchen floor.  It reminds me, somehow, 
of 19th, 18th, 17th--etc. century philosophy.



thanks--mel
