The ZMM Narrator Keeps Thinking Back To What Happened At “A High Point, ”Where Was The Sharp Switch Back Of Point Cabrillo Road.

…“"I knew it," he said. It comes back now as one of those little facts tugging at the end of a line, saying it’s not as small as I think it is. It’s been in his mind for a long time. Years. All the problems he’s given become more understandable.
…"I knew it," he said. .. He must have heard something long ago, and in his childish misunderstanding gotten it all mixed up. That’s what Phædrus always said — I always said — years ago, and Chris must have believed it, and kept it hidden inside ever since.” (Cont Next)

ZMM Narrator’s “High Point”, Point Cabrillo Dr, about 1.2 travel mile Southwest of Caspar, CA. Here the Narrator repeats his Master Motifs => "One of those little facts tugging at the end of a line, saying it’s not as small as I think it is.".
…He could have added that of “All the problems,” Chris’s "big problem" may not be as big as it seemed.
…This is because Chris’s long & very troubling “…"Were you really insane? ” had a quick & simple direct answer from Phaedrus’s last word => "No!”
…This, totally removed Chris’s "big problem" so in his childish certainty said "I knew it.“
…However, as is the case with a lot of problems, the “what’s wrong”, is UN-known. And a lot of “lateral drift” and bumbling around must be stumbled through, in order to discover … sometimes only by accident … bumble onto the “what needs to be fixed”! This is what happened to the Narrator & Chris’s “problem”.

…After Author Robert Pirsig’s ZMM “Climax Scene”, the Narrator and Phaedrus are to be one person again! But in passage above => the Narrator has to correct his thinking => “That’s what Phædrus always said — I always said — …”

… In the NEXT Photo => We discover that the Salvation of the Father, has all along been Chris's belief & support, and not the other way around!! *************************
