Tell me about anything that you believe connects mind to world. The universe is minded, because we are, and so are our dogs and cats (and maybe even fish and snails, for all I know). Anything that contributes to a deepening of this realization is of interest, even if this includes the rejection of logocentrism. I should also include the possible acceptance or rejection of Buddhism, Judeo-Christianity and its vicissitudes, mountain climbing, modern art, father and motherhood, music, scuba diving, cooking, Hollywood, movies, acting, song-writing, and so-called, "magic" as worthwhile pursuits. (Thanks to BB for clarifications.) All responsibility and blame are due solely to me, at least in the conventional sense in which those concepts have so far been analyzed. I'm working on them as time permits.
