Row, row, row
your
boat
gently
down
the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
life is but a dream...

Imagining is like feeling around
in a dark lane, or washing
your eyes with blood.

You are the truth
from foot to brow. Now,
what else would you like to know?

Rumi: Bird Song

Displaced Suburbanites:
Children of the postwar suburban exodus who discovered by the onset
of adolescence the unlikehood that we would ever be able to afford houses as nice as the ones we grew up in. We could however, afford plane tickets. And so, in the 1960's and 70', there commenced the restless globe-trotting of baby boomers, hungry for the sence of otherness largely absent from suburban life. We went in search of places to excite us, buildings to show us new ways of seeing and modes of living.
Exchange students, backpackers, self-romanticized gypsies, we grew up taking for granted that modernity was synonymous with the ability to change the scene. But in fact we were pioneeing amobile way of life that did not become widely shared until our adolescence had passed.

As we flood our mind with the mind of God,our eyes are made whole and our thougts begin dancing across the images of the world.
Hugh Prather

When the Earth has become sick and the fish and the Animals are dying - there will come fourth a tribe of people from all the nations, creeds and colors of the world, and they will put their faith in deeds, and not in words, to make the land green again, and to restore balance once again to our planet. These brothers and sisters shall come together to live again in Harmony with the Earth Mother, and speak of Love as being the Healer of the Children of the Earth, and they will learn to live again as Brothers and Sisters of the Earth. They will be called "Warriors of the Rainbow", protectors of the environment.
