Thank you very VERY much for your unbelieving prayers, sir! I was taught to believe that when we pray we're asking the Higher Power(s) for things and/or just talking to them but that when we meditate we are listening. LOL, i like that image of the dusty old phone (i imagine it as being hard, black, plastic with cords, nothin' wireless or high-tech about it, sitting off on some small wooden table - and curiously in my imagination the table is dusted and clean, it's just the phone that's been neglected.) Re: the Armenian church congregation who said they'd think about it - well i guess that's fair - one has to know what one should wish for (e.g. my initial distaste and aversion for a television advertising commercial with paid actors dressed as Buddhist monks "praying" for a full-screen color TV. Note: i don't object to Buddhists or others doing this but I felt mightily culturally offended at this representation of Buddhists and Buddhism. I know the Catholics would have a fit had they been portrayed this way for crass commercialism. Thank goddess, the Wiccans and pagans don't get offended by Halloween images and how they're routinely portrayed. It seems to me i saw a news post recently on Yahoo about a person (female of course, tho at the time I wasn't sure) who got Burned Alive in New Guinea merely for suspicion of witchcraft - sheesh! they couldn't test her for it? I mean just how much does a duck weigh? Shades of Monty Python & the holy Holy Grail!
Back on topic, oh kewl! You were just thinking aloud in print. No prob, I do that a fair bit myself. ;-)
I'm glad you're well, my friend.
P.S. a polymathic tendency sounds wonderful! LOL, I'd rather doubted peer-reviewed Wikipedia would have a clue what that is but found this instead: http://polymathictendencies.wordpress.com/ LMAO!!!!!!
You go, TCPIP! Go, good team, go! (hope you get that gaming reference)
