[MD] Ah-ha Qua Ah-ha

[MarshaV]

Matt,  

I would never ask you to defend reading.  Reading is my addiction too, 
and a healthy addiction it is.  I have a MLS because of the passion in 
my heart for books, reading, information.  So no, you never-ever need 
to defend reading to me.  

Ahh, but from my experience, mediation is an ancient and well tested 
path to Quality(unpatterned experience/patterned experience.)  

 
Peace,

Marsha
