Thanks ab, same here, 'context' is a long time friend. I am certain if so that we also share the love for AAAARG.ORG...?

as a battlefield, as a trap, as a lover, and as the self. The first two
- as a stage set for our moral battles or as a prison to escape - are probably
familiar, and have in many ways contributed to our lack of care for the
world. But what of the other two? Might they shed some useful light on life
in an interconnected world?</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.context.org/ICLIB/IC34/Macy.htm"><DIV>
The way we define and delimit the self is arbitrary. We can place it between
our ears and have it looking out from our eyes, or we can widen it to include
the air we breathe, or at other moments, we can cast its boundaries farther
to include the oxygen-giving trees and plankton, our external lungs, and
beyond them the web of life in which they are sustained.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4F601EC3-18C8-476A-BF84-C11F3F3A31E4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
