Hi Lee,



I am actually starting to cross my back legs too...(or, to
have
difficulty finding meaning here at any rate...are they the
same?)


Lee...Just come on out and say your own observations instead
of quoteing others so much.


It would be better for you, better for your readers I think,
and better for your Pots too which I must guess have great
potential if not themselves made-to-be 'quotes' or trying to
be too 'safe'.

You are a very intelligent and passionate fellow...and...


Forget all this appointed 'authority' to keep standing
behind, or insinuating yourself 'in'...


Just be you...

Try it...you got plenty to do it with.

In the long run, that's what all these other quoted fellows
are more or less perambulating about anyway..."Here was a
moment of authenticity or ingenue!"..."Here is a ponderous
tradition full of pontifications as encumber a endless
digressive siftings and commemorations of a light able
moment having happenned once!"


Cut it loose Lee...

Take the step...



Yer american pal,



Phil
