Although it may come to that when pottery-cow-rage sets in.

You'll do it and subsequently, overcome by remorse, become a lifelong potter of cows - shunned by the double-decker-bus driving, central-heating set. It's a lonely road without a two-storey vehicle (or a nice hot radiator). Are you prepared for that?

It's late.

Too late now.

...My apologies ;) I was reading an old interview with Keiji Haino the other day.

If you happen to read this LS, do you know anything about the concept of 'ma'? An empty space, filled with itself??

Could it be 'mu' Mr g?

"Mu (Japanese/Korean), and Wu (Chinese traditional: 無, simplified: 无 pinyin: wú Jyutping: mou2), is a word which has been roughly translated as "no", "none", "null", "without", and "no meaning". While used in Japanese and Chinese mainly as a prefix to indicate the absence of something (e.g., 無線/无线 musen or wúxiàn for "wireless"), in English it is better known as a response to certain koans and other questions in Zen Buddhism, intending to indicate that the question itself was meaningless."*

Just realised what I said there - an empty space, full of itself. Condemned by my own evidence. Sigh.

That's a bleak future you've mapped for me there my friend.

Perhaps I should restrain my murderous urges ... at least for now.
