I can only speak for myself, At, but I think what lies at the center of
our dialogue is understanding.
Understanding comes in many forms; sometimes we call it insight, sometimes
wisdom, and sometimes skill. Generally speaking, it is a form of
knowledge. And what is that, after all, but a state of being, the result
in turn of a process of becoming.
Best wishes to all for a happy holiday season and a safe,
prosperous new year.
