[The web is getting to be a such labyrinth, even for
streams and threads leading to and away from
my work. I ran into this text of mine (below) on a blog,
and I said, “Gee. That sounds pretty good. But
where did they get it?” There were mistakes, only
minor things, but I knew it wasn’t copy & paste.
So it had to be hand copied from one of hundreds
of jpeg POSTERS. BUT, which one? It took me
a while to find it. Weird. Beautiful, in a way.]
The problem is to bring thought into its proper
relationship with the natural world by surrounding
it with an abundance of space and quietude—
the song of the woodthrush is always followed by
silence. Who is to say which is more important,
the song or the quiet interval before and after?
The task is to find a language which is deeply
visceral in its movement of meaning, and speaks
with clear resonant images—when from a precipice
the chamois stamps its hooves, thrusts its chest into
the open air, and sounds its hoarse whistle, who would
not admire the seriousness of his message?
The goal is to refuse to seperate Art from Science
and Religion by confronting head on the contradictions
that have for centuries divided them—when three different
paths meet at the same mountain spring, who among
us would not share the epiphany of eagle’s eye that
there is really but one pilgrim, but one path?
