"Don't
hurry, start early."
- Herbert Cain

LAST CHILD
IN THE
WOODS |

Yes,
quite wise
and true
-- but why then should we force ourselves to rush ahead at
all?
Because,
in a creative sense, if we delay,
the road
we're
following
may
very well
vanish
before we
can
ever find
it again ..
,
Why be
brisk and efficient
 in everything we do? Because to be otherwise is a drag on
the
entire system
- and
because accumulating a history of small, clear victories
builds momentum
and
courage
to
continue
with
confidence.
And so,
we strive for excellence and maximum efficiency
in all
that
we do.
"We have
no art," say the Balinese, "we do everything as well as we
can."

Saving Our Children
from Nature-Deficit Disorder
RICHARD LOUV
PART IV
THE NATURE-CHILD
REUNION
Each new year is a surprise to us.
We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each
bird,
and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream,
Reminding us of a previous state of existence. . .
The voice of nature is always encouraging.
-HENRY DAVID THOREAU

"We can be heroes,
just for one day,
" David Bowie's live
Bridge School rendition,
that's how
we'll begin
to create a quiet,
mostly audio,
media setting.
Then, we begin
the scene in 200I
where Dave says,
"Open the doors!"
- continuing through Hal's
crazy daisy fade out tune,
when we mute the sound
track
& introduce these Bowie
songs:
"Hang on to Yourself,"
"Sound & Vision," and
"Ashes to Ashes".
Simultaneously,
as these tunes proceed,
opening scenes of
THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH,
are projected (mute)
alongside the 200I
"star gate corridor".
A lot of Leonard Cohen's
Live in London
dvd:
"Ain't no Cure"
"Anthem"
"Hallelujah"
Color slides
from everywhere
and beyond.
Movie clips,
cinematic epiphanies,
multimedia
mind flips.
Scenes from BARAKA
(juxtaposed
with Neil Young tunes);

what you choose by ignoring all that you reject. -
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Scenes from THE NEW WORLD
(synched with "Humans from
the Earth"
by T Bone Burnett, and
"Plunder my Soul" by the
Stones)
Concluding scenes of
ZORBA THE GREEK
and Fellini's 8 1/2 ,
with original soundtracks.

"I have nothing to say,"
John Cage said,
"and that is poetry."
He also said, "everything
we do is music."
John Cage was a
Zen composer
and an audacious
celebrant
of pure
silence. |

If you want to take your
time, you have to have some time ..
And what is it worth?
Your time?
Or mine-
which, currently and
commercially, is worth
a little over
ten dollars
an hour.
But my time,
or yours,
how much
is it really worth?
Beyond any estimation,
I'm sure.
Think about seeing
SIMON OF THE DESERT,
a short, poignant
and quite funny
film by Luis Bunuel,
which, oddly enough,
is both a send up
and a put down
of popular piety.

times a year publication of THE SEED CATALOG:
___ Yes, bring it on, in whatever form!
