Thanks Ted.
I would have responded earlier but I didnt know what to say. But I didnt want to say
nothing either.
Thinking about this during my ride home from work today it occurred to me that my
struggle to find an appropriate way to respond is really what was bugging me all along.
The quality of life is mostly about relationships and how people respond to one
another. Its entirely dynamic. Its about the flow of energy between people. Take
away the flow and the energy and you dont just have static quality. You have an
illusion of quality. You have nothing.
Ted, during the past 23 days, your 11 messages and my 13 messages account for
more than half of all posts to this forum. The next highest posters are Ian and Marty
with 4 messages each.
So Im riding home and Im thinking
would it matter if I didnt respond to Teds last
message? Should I respond only if I feel I have something significant to say? Is there
any significance, any meaning in, what seems to be
communication? And wheres
the quality?
Although Pirsig provides plenty of dialogue in ZMM he doesnt develop the story
behind the story. He says its not relevant to the Chautauqua. And he says hes
honoring Sylvias need to not been treated as an object. And again, I think theres a
deeper truth. Whether it was intentional or not I dont know. But from what I can see
Id say Pirsig avoided the depth of human relationships and all the meaning that goes
with them.
And so I think about my involvement here
and the quality of life here...and...
Any thoughts? Any feelings?

Onward and downward. Be compassionate. Love.
