Re: Sustenance - what does it mean?

From my point of view, this is the very beauty of the idea of "Open
Themes", at WWPanorama (and I?m not an english-native speaker as well,
I?m brazilian). You can take the meaning literally, or get the
conotation of it, and develop an entirely new view from the theme. If
your take is literal, so be it, and interpret like Yuval did (bridges,
and the lack of sustaining); if not, take your own conotation, and go
for it. But this is *my* view, I hope I?m not so away from the usual ;-) .
