(1) AGAINST CONTROL . . .
	Our attempts to control Nature—to build a dam, spray a meadow,
manage a forest—are as futile as trying to control a young child
riding a bike for the first time by shouting, &#8220;Stay upright!&#8221; In a
landscape littered with the detritus of our failings, why do we
not learn the intelligence of Nature&#8217;s way [...]]]></description>

	Consider this: Does an empty battery weigh less than
a battery fully charged? Or is there a difference in weight
between the living human body, and the body&#8217;s weight
at death? Or consider that if we break apart a triangle
of sticks, or smash a computer, and then weigh the
resulting pile of parts, before seems to equal after in
each [...]]]></description>

like a Condor. And the tribe will only fly true when
the wings of the Condor are in balance;—when one
wing is male, and one wing is female.”  from Ecuador

	Just as a whore replaces love, and money replaces meaning,
competition in the Arts replaces the real creative currency of
mutual benefit and shared excellence. The illusion has been
turned off. The jury is out for good. The judges in shame
have all gone home. It&#8217;s time to be simple, playful, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	
We shape the world and the world shapes us.
	In the West, we are all born into a contradictory worldview
that tacitly explains suffering with a bible-black four-square
prison of sin, debt, guilt and fear. Outside the four walls
of the prison, there&#8217;s the free-flowing energy of natural
abundance. But inside the darkness of the prison, the
world is lit by [...]]]></description>

Some extinctions are sweet!
	See the Poetry Journal, these mute and dumb
bundles of dead trees and toxic lead;
	Or the obese Symphony Orchestra, the me&#8217;s
much-will-have-more, limited only
by the slow speed of living sound;
	And ah yes, the Church and the Pope, this hocus
pocus of a thousand years of damnation and sin
that even a Swiss Guard and gowns of

		<description><![CDATA[	The whole of a language is like a bell. All words somehow
touch, contain, or mirror one another, so that just one &#8220;tap&#8221;
or &#8220;sounding,&#8221; and we know instantly, without time, that
a word in English like &#8220;inclinate&#8221; does not play a part
in the repertoire of the whole.

of all is the one which does not see, or worse, simply tolerates,
unnecessary difficulty.
	From there, it is only a small step to the degeneration
of cults of collusion which not only condone, but actually
cultivate complicatedness.

		<description><![CDATA[	With the perverse inversion of the sheer brilliance
of the digital communications revolution into the dark
and sinister world of firewalls, censorship and systems
of surveillance, at a single stroke, the meaning of the
word “web” flips from “one world connected”
into “gotcha!”

		<description><![CDATA[	The world’s worst bad ideas have two key features which refer both
to truth of function, and to truth of content, in equal measure:
First, they not only prevent us from clearly seeing some important,
relevant aspect of the world, but actually distort it beyond all
recognition; Second, they strengthen their hold on thought and
perception with self-reinforcing, equally false [...]]]></description>
