put a sticky at the top of "The Patio"

I could have collected all of them and pasted them to a single post -- the whole thing could probably be read in 20 minutes -- but I think skimming over them too quickly would prevent the concepts from having an impact. Each one encompasses such a wealth of accompanying ideas that it's best to go slowly, take one at a time, and let it sink in. Even better would be to think and discuss them one at a time, with related thoughts brought in, because even though I can collect these ideas and summarize them neatly in one place, they don't have any impact until the person reading them digests and internalizes them (see post number 18, about Self-Education ). The only way I can think of to make that happen is to try to get the reader to slow down -- which is why I'm posting only one per week.
