[MD] The dirty doors of perception?

[118]

Hi Joe,
I think that here you touch on the wondrous ability of the human imagination.  This is conveyed through words so that we can share with another, and do not feel isolated.  Much as some like to disparage words, they do bring meaning into our lives and separate us from other species who must constantly be in tune with DQ.  Concepts give us a reprieve from such moment to moment directives.

I prefer not to think in terms of higher or lower, but as collaborative.

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,
Mark
