Subject: Michelangelo

Thanks, Jeanne for the picture by Michelangelo. It is good for us to reflect on something more pleasant and relaxing in these times of war. I find prayer and meditation helpful for me. And the hope and faith that I have in God. Looking up is what we need to do in every since of the word. I want to thank you for being someone more than a University Instructor. You are a very wise and compassionate person with a lot of passion and love for people. Allowing us to express our feelings and concerns about the state of America is an insightful gesture. You not only allow us to verbalize; you take what we have to say and make it applicable to the course, for instance transforming discourse, "Attack on America." It becomes more than just an outlet for us, but also an instrument of learning.

I'm still looking for Nietzsche. Maybe I'm not doing something right. But I will continue to search.

Love and Peace to you and your family!

Karol, I'm glad that the Dear Habermas approach helps. We do need the healing right now.

Check out the theory section on the current issue. You should find some of Nietzsce that way. And, by the way, I am delighted to find that the site is serving both for study and for discourse. We need both.

love and peace, jeanne
