Faisal,

The thoughts express a rich tapestry of the mind.

`Random coherence`? Snatches of Totality?

hmmm... the Religion part reminds me of the scene in American Beauty where the 19-yo shows his neighbour a video-recording of his first God-awarness. It`s taht great moment of transcendence when you don`t NEED to believe `cause you can EXPERIENCE, isn`t it?

``Lush fields, sweet scents, much happiness. Artists, playwrights, paintings. Progression, diversity, acceptance. It has to be.``

Amen! Aameen!

regards,

PS. Couldn`t help remembering the lyrics of some Billy Joel `River of Dreams` album. Heard it?

nice. sweet. a pillow and blankie after a tiring and cold day. your future bit reminded me of a book, ``woman on the edge of time``..by...umm..pierce? i cant recall.

i cant believe your religion bit has me craving for snow...and to think ive been whining for some sun.

rizvi.

Mir Sahib,

I have no words of disagreement with your random thoughts. However, they could just as easily be the ramblings of some Russian, Colombian, anyone really. Just goes to show that what is right for any citizen of the world is equally right for the citizens of Pakistan, despite what some mullahs will tell you.

Rafay
