You communicate great depth and a sense of your feelings and who you are, not in any sappy sort of way, but in a way that makes a first time reader smile while reading - because they get it. <em>Michael's last blog post..<a href='http://www.rightmindedpeople.com/right_minded_people/2008/01/rewarding-the-n.html' rel="nofollow">Rewarding the 'No-Shows'</a></em> You are a brilliant writer.

I've gotten to know some guru's a bit too well and ended up losing respect for them. Stinks. I don’t even know who he is. ;) Sorry you had to break up with your Sethy poo ….

As far as issues of Oz go... people are always more potable from a distance. The closer you come to anyone the more you realize they're just people like you. Or not like you... which can be even more saddening. You've struck on an interesting awareness in all this. The guru's aren't usually guru's because they invented something - but because they communicate it better than anybody else at the moment. We're drawn to people who help us 'get it'.

It took me a long time in life to relaize that all "gurus" are human -- and we all need to remember that, myself included. Diana Your descriptive powers are definitely very cool.

You have something there about finding your own theories...after all the hoopla isn't always about how new something is, as you said it's often times just finding someone who's found a fresh way of communicating something. I like the way you communicate, so keep searching and I'll keep visiting!
