Hello Geoffrey,

Thanks for publishing 'Sententiae.' I have received a couple of positive responses.

You might be interested in a new 'Pathway' in philosophy that I am developing. It is called 'Sentences in Space' and refers to placement of large print sententiae on illustration boards that can be hung on walls. I feel this is philosophy as a visual art form. There will be an exhibition of them in December in the museum of Alamos where I live. I have had to provide Spanish translations of all the material, which was not too difficult with the help of the computer.

This is not entirely an original effort since the walls of Delphi during Greek antiquity were said to be lined with philosophical aphorisms such as 'know thyself', 'nothing in excess', etc. Unfortunately, however, I don't think I am suited for the role of a Delphic Oracle. They were said to be always women.

All my best,
Richard
