Umm, I can understand all that. But each year in my experience it gets more global in attendance; that's why I refer to it as "the alternative culture's world's fair." Perhaps you'd enjoy seeing some of the full-length videos online or otherwise,...

Modern science knows how to fix a hole in the heart. It can diagnose a hole in the ozone layer and prove the existence of black holes at the edge of the universe.
But when it comes to explaining what's often described as the "God-shaped hole" in our lives, neither quantum physicis...

I find these three recently-published books of special interest, one because I'm a brother, the next because it reprints fabulous food writings from a great "lost" WPA file, and the last because as I get older I want my American history to be people-centered, truer, and if it's written for young people, that's even better.

1. We agree that poetry is the deliverance of the English language or to that effect.
2. You met the Kogis in person - which (still) blows my mind; And that's a good thing!
