I put it a little more clearly in an email to steve who thought perhaps that the weepiness was sad. I wrote All kinds of things make me weepy and I think there’s connecting threads – for example, at a ball game, when everyone gets up and sings O Canada… and I’m not crazy about nationalism … but there’s a togetherness that I find moving – sure it’s programming – so it deserves some questioning, but I also feel a little weepy when a fire truck is trying to get by and all the traffic pulls over. More programming – but good programming. So the Elizabeth conversation touched on some of that. What I’m talking about is this: I am moved by feelings of oneness with other humans (and creatures and phenomena of all sort). When that feeling of oneness is provoked by whatever art experience or event or conversation or music (which is another kind of conversation) or encounter with magic or science, it is good.Actually, weepiness is AWESOME. It gets in touch with something.
veen does that make sense?
