Isn't it funny that Ruth's abstractions do not seem as difficult to
understand as Michael's? I just checked both on Dave's member's page.
Ruth's are accessible and amusing, and Michael's more mysterious. I love
them both, somehow I feel the need to see Michael's in person to understand
them better. Ruth's speak more clearly of color and shape, but it is hard
to make out the subtle textures of Michael's.

Someone mentioned Anselem Kiefer's work in relation to M's, useful to see
connections. I also loved Julio's thoughts about the micro-cosmos, that was
my first impression, too. That other world of really small stuff...sort of
strange but with a recognizable organic shape.

Who sent the Shambala/Ken Wilbur page? My images (like my pal Picasso) are
always based on recognizable stuff, but I am fascinated by the new physics,
chaos theory, strange attractors...the wierd world of California physics.
Anybody else follow this stuff?

I'd like to be added to the list for Michael's CD, still not quite the real
thing, but we make do. Thank you.

Dave and Jack,
    Thanks for the video, and the accompanying pamphlet, both were very
nicely done.   I wish I had continued my Japanese language studies so that
I might understand all that was said, but there was a lot to visually
enjoy.
    Very nice close-up footage of carving, and I was looking for that
slightly bent tip on Mr Ito's knife, Dave, but missed it.   Also enjoyed
the visits to the block planer, the paper maker, the pigment shop, and the
association meeting.   I was expecting the association table to be covered
with beer glasses, Dave, but the fellows must have been on good behavior 
while the cameras were rolling. (Was Numabe-san among the group?)
   Thanks again, I'll enjoy this many times, I'm sure.

Gary

Dave,
Will you please inform me again of the price of the Baren Exchange #2
folder, and who to send the money to and when the deadline is?  Thanks.

You can quite easily see it on the newest page in the Encyclopedia!

Actually, there was plenty of beer there that evening (all supplied by
the TV people).  I don't remember exactly, but maybe they brought it out
only a bit later ...

> Was Numabe-san among the group?

Yes.  Counting from my left, he's the third guy ...
