Dear Jim and Paul,
Could we have meant the structure of a contentless process, which is
only informed by the participants responses?
Or could it have been talking about a state of Being, not Doing, or
Knowing, but Being... Contentlessness...not focused on the material, but
on presence of wonder itself.. not necessarily discontented or
dissatisfied. Contentlessness could be about the absence of noise and
the bliss of silence.
The wonder of words and the reality of the situations in life creates
the context for the meaning of the words and how we use them. Our
reflection gives form to our understanding, and our understanding is how
we live out the meaning of our lives, in separation, in unity, in
fullness and contentlessness.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanuka,
Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook
