This is very good and very helpful indeed. Thanks! Believe we often write to answer the otherwise unanswerable. Some of us are perhaps crazy enough to be willing to do this with our brave readers. The concepts of expanding our questions into constellations or archipelagos is interesting and helpful because it is reality based and allows us to more easily address a brass tacks reality which is central and expands in ever increasing ripples toward the truth.

Alicia, I read your essays every week. You are such a damn good writer. I often re-read the essays, just because writing appears to be a lost art. Not with you, though. Write on!
