  May 30 2011: Hi Andrea, I see exactly what you mean. I enjoy reading your contributions and welcome constant interpretation and re interpretation. It's only very recently that I have tried my hand at poetry , but I find that that same 'musical' moment that might drive me to write is similar to the 'open state' that invites possibility.I am going to heed your words because I enjoy a book that evolves with a 'twist' and without a need for flashbacks. And thankyou for kind words..

  A comment on Conversation: What is the efficient use of routine 24 hours in terms core responsibilities for effective living?

  May 30 2011: I really like the wisdom of this question because if we are able to address how we live our day, we begin to shape how we might live our lives.It's our close proximity that stalls us isn't it Shokrullah? I am going to look into answering your question directly.

  A comment on Conversation: Have you reinvented yourself, or started a movement?

  May 30 2011: I have a wise girlfriend and after a long conversation realised that I am not in control of all the outcomes.At the same time I feel excited and came up with this poem:
  
  Intelligent adaption
  And potential hold sway
  Infinite possibility
  And a mindful new day
  
  A pre-packaged narrative
  Built upon history
  Starts to give way
  To a book rich in mystery
