Yah, I'm going to the convention. Your question got me to thinking. I think we are a nation in a hurry to get things done. It's probably like that in every city. It all seems a bit paranoid because we just keep jumping on to the next thing without completing what we're doing.
Experiences unfold themselves like a mystery thriller revealed with clues and surprises.
It would hardly be a thriller revealed in a Vulcan monolog. We are thrilled by experiences in life by seeing the possibilities revealed in bits and pieces that slowly come together to create the whole picture, the grand finale. We need all the pieces of the picture to see the whole picture. We need to see the lotus flower as it unfolds to grasp its full beauty. In Shime we study completion, from the beginning of the art to its end, each piece revealing itself as the art unfolds like the lotus flower.
