Dear Alex:

Nothing confrontational here, please. Your search is inspiring. Search less, find more.

Nevertheless, isn't there a small conflict between your "comfy" and your "credo?"

"I'm getting comfy with the decidedly Zen idea that looking obscures
finding. My cautious credo (for now) is: It's never as simple as it
looks. There is harm in overly simple ethics."

How would you feel if the "credo" part read something like: "It's always more simple than it looks. There is harm in intellectualizing simplicity. Flaws and limitations thrive in intellectualizations, not in what is being intellectualized?"

I believe there is an immense chasm between emotive, spiritual, sentient knowledge and rational, intellectual analysis of things we do not know. And I believe the former is closer to what is.

I am not reentering the fray, only intrigued by your quest - as I am distressed by others'. gsm
