I too, find this idiosyncrasy of existence fascinating. I often find that when I am so obsessed and plagued with resolving some conflict or figuring out some problem, I get nowhere. But it's only when I just let go of the obsession and the desire to best the problem with my wits that the problem is overcome.

There's an obscure poem circa the beat generation era named, "In Transit," by Lenore Kandel. Have you read it? Though the meter is uneven and unstructured, its simple message rang true to me back in high school, even though I didn't understand the whole of the poem.

I am perusing your musical tastes, and films, and books, and I am smitten with you. Who likes Tom Waits nowadays?? And Gamelan? Traditional Indonesian music, right? Damn. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and insights.
