One of the crew, Jimmy Brighton, came across this passage in Tom Robbins, “Villa Incognito.” I found it applicable to many of your individual pursuits.

-This is a girl speaking to her teacher/fatherly figure-

“The fine things you taught me can be seen on one level as a negation of the wisdom passed down to me by my ancestors (Zen-piqued) – but I am, I think, the better for the lessons.  One cannot arrive at no-mind unless one has a mind to start from.  The brighter the mind gleams, the softer the silence of the eventual no-mind, just as the overturned bucket that was once brimming seems so much emptier than the bucket that never held milk in the first place.  Thanks for filling my little pail.”
