Thank you so much for reading my books and describing my work in such beautiful words! You basically answered your own question! My motivation is just the creation of something I find beautiful. The vision, to pass knowledge to those who seek it in the simplest possible way, where "simple" does not necessarily mean in the tersest form, but in a form that invites being digested.

I do not usually talk much about "myself". I tried, but with no-one asking, I find it difficult to say anything.

I just bought ePubs for your Raja Yoga Revisted (I usually study SRF material, but alternatives are good!) and Scheme 9 for Empty Space. Your web site is very nice, I loved the ‘Who am I?’ page. I have been using Lisp languages since 1978 but except for studying Peter Norvig’s Lisp in Python, I have never dropped below the abstraction layer into a Lisp implementation so I am looking forward to that.

I love that your lisp implementations are so portable. I believe one is available for Plan 9.

Thanks! And yes, Scheme 9 from Empty Space should compile on Plan 9! http://t3x.org/s9fes/

		> Scheme 9 from Empty Space As a fan of word plays, that got a genuine chortle out of me. Thank you.
