…“We’re related to each other in ways we never fully understand, maybe hardly understand at all. He was always the real reason for coming out of the hospital. To have let him grow up alone would have been really wrong. In the dream too he was the one who was always trying to open the door.
...I haven’t been carrying him at all. He’s been carrying me!
... "I knew it," he said. It keeps tugging on the line, saying my big problem may not be as big as I think it is, because the answer is right in front of me. For God’s sake relieve him of his burden! Be one person again!
.. Rich air and strange perfumes from the flowers of the trees and shrubs enshroud us.” (Cont Next)

…In the ''Guidebook To Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance”, the authors said Phaedrus was the Christ, a reference to the statement in the last chapter of ZMM, that “Chris was carrying him ”.
…Chris literally means bearer of the Christ. To my knowledge Pirsig never disputed that assertion.

NOTE:
…From The ZMM Narrative, Chris and the Narrator were in Casper, CA around lunch time, and after the events at the Narrator’s “High Point” would be traveling the approximately 8 miles to here on Comptche-Ukiah Road in the early afternoon. However, you can tell from my photos, I was not able to maintain this schedule, and that I traveled this road at dusk.
…Hence my photos for the next 104 miles through to Santa Ana, CA will not have the correct sun illumination, nor direction to fit the ZMM Narrative.
