Upside Down
The final paragraph of chapter 6 refers to the self in a way that seems like a mirror image of how we looked earlier in the chapter at substance. Â The self is too collapsed and it’s world is too parsed … Continue reading
Less is More
Trying to make sense of the concept of “zeroless”, two phrases come to mind: “Less is More,” and “Being Nobody Going Nowhere” (the title of a Buddhist book.) Â Distance, separation, and substance, viewed as intrinsic to space, continue to operate … Continue reading

Intimacy In-time
Intimate conversation in a conference call is difficult. Â Perhaps by next fall I’ll have a computer that works with a microphone. Â I think that fits the format or our classes better and allows Jack to weave a tapestry that include … Continue reading
