Jaromil -- hmmm.

(speaking for myself only, not Jerneja)

I believe it when I tell my students that no questions are wrong or stupid (as
they have been told to believe by conservative and close-minded education
indoctrinators). In the process that Jerneja and I volunteered to undertake,
there has been much more silence from a list of 190 people than questions and I
would like to suggest that joining in the questioning process in proactive and
positive ways would be more helpful to us in doing what is, in my mind, an
impossible task...

I am rather sure we will please few if anyone in the execution of a 2D text
Reader -- given the multi-dimensionality and the multiplicity of flows that
'are' bricolabs. Of course, a decent strategy for this reductive process is to
'yield space' -- that is to simply allow for what is to express itself by
standing far back and/or simply becoming a participant. In this case, we shall
have to leave large expanses of blank space to reflect the dominance of silence
in the extremely long (or perhaps short!) tail of the 'network'... Those who are
speaking, connecting, are indeed the glue: what would brico be in total silence?
Finding the resonances that allows us to experience one another requires what is
always a faltering expression of our presence. What more might we do in this life?

If you know your history
Then you would know where you're coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the heck do I think I am

(maybe we are all Buffalo Soldiers ... in our own way)

with respect also...
