Re: Re: Re:Nautikos
Wow! You held or you had seminars with him? :) Either way, how great is that? I imagine there was an air of cerebral and social enhancement enjoyed by all during those seminars. The experience would have bent my mind in a most pleasant way. Of course he was 'nice,' a trait of true genius... LOL!

I knew Kurt Wolff well. I had seminars with him - he was a very interesting and even 'nice' man...

Re: Aba, dear bro, and friend
How beautifully and poetically you've written this. As I have said, both of my parents encouraged us to seek the truth within, and without! LOL! And to be aware that one person's truth may not be such to another. And that truth is mutable, rather, one's perception of truth may be mutable. Thank you, and yes, many have said as they laughed, R can't be explained in words, or rather, there are no words... LOL.

Re:Nautikos
Hey, nothin' to be sorry about. (We weren't allowed to say 'hey' when I was a child.) You're talkin' to someone who was absent the week they taught typing numbers in typing class, currently known as keyboarding. I'm fast, but errors all over the place. Now I found an article (I think that's what it is) I'd like to read: 'Exploring relations between surrender-and-catch and poetry, sociology, evil' by Wolff, 1976.

Re:Nautikos
Thank you, Naut. I see why you asked. It's an old, old concept. I believe I may have been exposed to Wolff at some level long ago. I read, or re-read tonight, and found the concept(s) familiar. They are those not only myself, but my entire family, has embraced, though some of us are more testa dura, and would be called 'Catch and Surrender' types. :) I was brought up more or less with Wolff's thinking by both parents. Wolff, to me, in this light is slightly reminescent of Lao Tzu, Gibran and Dr. Wayne Dyer.

Hi, my friend and big sis, Presta dear ...
Truth and its revelation, when searched from within and not without, is pure bliss. It is a release and one feels the warmth of nectarine freedom. The experience is ineffable. It is like taste which cannot be explained in words. And that is indeed YOU, sIs.

Very good. I wonder if you're familiar with Kurt Wolf's 'Surrender and Catch'...

Hm' I wonder RP. You see that cherry tree with the seat beneath. Don't be afraid that is only Chumpet sitting there. He has a bowl of red cherries . Also a pink rose for you. Of course he looks sad because he is immortal and you are his pink rose blossoming.
Now RP this is what I might write in answer to your poem. Of course I do not I find it annoying that I have to rewrite some of my comments because they are of a poetical construction. Yah!
