Hi Charles,

Sounds about right! I guess I would just add that we don’t need to be Buddha in order to get past Medusa. Thank goodness! But getting past Medusa is probably a good step toward Buddhahood.  And since you mentioned T.S. Eliot here, there is a whole possible discussion built around the role that poetry plays in getting us to wisdom that cannot be accomplished merely by prose.  But maybe that’s best left for another time. 🙂
