todd..thanks for the excellent link to dr. bail. for those of us who've spent far too much time in our lives in deep introspection (spending too much time looking into the past - depression....worrying too much about the future - anxiety), i'm looking forward to spending more time on his site. kind of like the question of the reconciliation of 'faith and reason'..many questions, few clear answers. much of the novel, which i wrote and is now 'in the hands of an agent' takes time to explore this fundamental question of the significance of existance. and lately, a couple of buddhist friends have been kind enough to pass along some excellent reading..pema chodron and sakyong mipham..can't put my hand on the other book. curious, have you ever read schaeffer ('the god who is there') and others..
