Week 9: Toward a new synthesis

My E-Prime day

Today I spent the morning in a seminar on concentrated granular extracts. I found my level of understanding of herbs to be insufficient for me to understand completely the ideas the lecturer was attempting to convey. Because of this, I decided to leave early and allow myself to have extra study time. When I arrived home, I ate my lunch in the company of my husband. I enjoyed soup and rice that had been left over from a previous meal. After eating, I began my studies which will continue for the rest of the evening until I feel comfortable enough with the subject to take the exam tomorrow or until I feel that I have exhausted my energy to study for the day.

Can I synthesize East and West?

I am not sure what this question is asking exactly. I take synthesis to mean a logical deduction. Perhaps it means can I deduce east from west or vice versa. Not really reductionism but more along the lines of whether the two have a general relation or correlation. Maybe it is possible to eventually find that the two world perspectives will one day come together. Its possible that we are already seeing that the two curve toward each other.
