Hey ya'll:

Last night I was journaling and was struck with an idea - I suggest that
there's the same four distinctions in the field PE that we created in the
other 4 fields, and that there's:

PE -> PE
PE -> NOTPE
NOTPE->PE
NOTPE->NOTPE

I think that we as human beings have pretty well-developed sense of NOTPE,
and here's a few cliches that while they may be classifiable elsewhere,
seem to me to belong to the NOTPE side of Partnership.

Give 'em enough rope to hang 'emself
You can't please all the people all the time
Run with the big dogs or stay on the porch
I'm not my brother's keeper
If you want it done right you have to do it yourself

See what I mean?  I find this correlates with the cliches that have been
coming out in my collages, they don't have the same kind of simplistic
individualistic flavor as before, instead they speak from something larger
than myself and my notions.  Now I guess they're still cat2's some cat1's,
few cat3's.  Is there something useful here?

There's a sort of universal spiritual belief that we all come from being
related, so that would imply that this created field of Partnership has a
predecessor.  And if so, then we all have a background of "not-it", since
(up until now...) we live in a dualistic universe.   Which points me back
to the PE-NOTPE conversation.  Whaddya think?

Steve
(until now, anyway....)
