Kyle & Trish

        The counseling guru, Carl Rogers, spoke of phenomenology. Basically
the three of us could observe a "reality" of some kind and come away with
our own and, frequently, very different interpretations of what we
observed. To that extent, we do create our own realities. The basis of
effective communication is coming to understand others' "take" on "reality".

Just my philosophical .02 cents worth.
