That's really awesome. Maybe not so much the book itself but the words in the book and what they mean to the man?

It's actually from my favourite film. Not a great film, but one I enjoy immensely. Called "The Silent Flute" or "Circle of Iron", written by Bruce Lee, made after his death.

Is that the same as a "skin flute?"

Re: Deep Thoughts
the work-if it's good-is more vital than the worker. that's what i think the worker would say.

Re: Deep Thoughts
Does the worker become the work? He certainly becomes defined by it.

Re: Deep Thoughts
a partial definition. but if the work is important it will be standing long after the workers bones turn to dust. the worker will live thru that reflected glory-although that won't really matter much to him or her when he or she's dead.

True, they are therefore intertwined. They created each other.

Demian was brilliant. I am a huge Hesse fan, my favourite writer. Steppenwolf hit me hard, I should give it another read.

I need to read that one too. Don't know if you're a Murakami fan, but the main character reads it in Norwegian Wood.

Re: Deep Thoughts
no i wasn't familiar with that book. i just read the wikipedia about it though. besides "beneath the wheel", the main character is reading "The Magic Mountain". sounds like a very interesting read. i really enjoyed "the magic mountain". i remember distinctly reading that in the morning with my coffee. about 800 pages, 10 pages at a time. it took me awhile, but i savored it. i had a german teacher that wanted us to read "beneath the wheel" in german many years ago. it was too difficult for the class-but it was my introduction to hesse. so, of course, i had to read it in english. not his best-but he wrote some real good books.
thanks for the information.

the key to expanding your imagination is the capability to take the long view. the longer the view the greater the imagination.
