I know the three idea just sets up a rhythm in the writing. Three must be ingrained in us. Even when composing a photo, the picture is divided into three sections to be more pleasing to the eye.J.Q.

I wonder if it resonates with us on an unconscious Jungian level---something to do with myth, the Trinity, the cosmic concept of sun, moon, and sky . . .<br /><br />Just in case you have a book left.
