I do NOT see "myth" as a lie, but as a word of *REACH* that is
often lost in among the words it travels with. It is a word grown
to serious measure in your intellectual heart of hearts- and
therefore!!! when I read your using it, I take it to mean a
"bit more" and perhaps read into it what your many hundred postings
have carved it to mean. Time and familiarity can add shades of
meaning to a term unique to its author.
What do I mean when I use the word myth? It is still growing as
is my own word, magic .....also an extension of meaning that could
take time to simmer. I don't have it all together as you. Sometimes
I hold a fragment of "aboutness" and sometimes it slips away.
Absolute clarity is not my best marble!
For now, .....Distrust is !!!!!!!!!!!!
