In a message dated 98-01-24 12:52:20 EST, you write:

<< Throughout the show his diary is read as a voice over. In
 his closing remarks he writes how we all "just move from one piece of holy
 ground to the next." Of course this strung a chord with me, but I found/find
 that I am unsure whether this phrase originated with Salinger. If not, who?

The phrase is used with Salinger, though I am not sure where. As for its
origins, I'm pretty sure it was Zen. Maybe the Hua Hu Cheng guy, though at a
moment I'm at a loss for his name, and am not going to embarrass myself in
what would surely be a horrible juxtaposition of oriental syllables in an
attempt to get it right. Can anyone help me out with this? All my books are
packed up in a neat little box with "Books" written on it, en route to
school...
