There is a certain beauty in "POTENTIAL". What might be.* What
   might not.* Constant state of flux.* Uncertainty.* The point
   emerging forth from unawareness, leading into awareness.
   Emergence.   Ready to spring into action.* Poised. Example: Cat
   is awaiting "the chase" and "the capture". Crouched down, tail
   changing from slowly swishing to a back and forth thrashing.*
   The cat may or may not capture the target, whether it be a mouse
   or a ball of yarn, or an unsuspecting finger or foot or arm.*
   More importantly for our purposes: will the cat act?* Or will
   the cat lie down and go to sleep, perhaps dreaming of the chase
   that never was and the perfect capture that could have been. It
   is that inbetween state.* The potentiality.* The "might".* 'The
   "could".* The "should" (although I do not care for the
   "should's" - too much pressure!), the "perhaps", "maybe", and
   even - although this is usually mentioned after the fact -
   "almost". April 5, 2005 Kennneth Udut From an unpublished
   typewritten paper.
