     I think it's important to pay attention to both ends of the spectrum.
The stress from constantly dealing with vital matters can take it's toll and
eventually result in counter productivity. The soloutions to some of our
biggest practical problems can grow from insights derived from paying great
attention to and observing the microcosm of unrelated systems or the
indulgence of games and recreation.
     There is obviously far more to be known along those tributaries than
anyone can hope to decipher; nonetheless, exploring them is not wasted
time or effort. The waters of the Essential often flow through the Obscure.
