our imperfect universe "yields the holes, lacks and absences that make longing possible . . .understanding on any level cannot be perfect, and that is what draws us forward and keeps us alive. it is the fact that we cannot grasp that keeps us groping, that we cannot have that keeps us lusting, that we cannot be that keeps us becoming." (six names of beauty by crispin sartwell)
so my thesis wonderings are; is the sublime the cause of the beautiful and do imperfections/voids/absences cause vitality? does always trying to attain something keep you alive and creating?

I feel at once drawn in by your wonderings and awakened to new questions: how are you defining your terms? (this is the research-paper-grader in me speaking) I can't wait to read your thesis when it's done! It is going to be fascinating, i know it!
i want it to be fascinating . . . and i want it to be done!
