Some people can not know where to detect the legal dissertation about this topic. Thence, we could suggest your great tought. And they would get the thesis writing.

I believe in play...the whole earth is a grand playground. Nothing else is real.

Brian - I don't know if you read this, but I want you to know: a girl from Luther College Nordic Choir read this out loud to the rest of the choir while we were on tour in Europe. The concert we sang right after she read this to us was one of the best we have ever sung.

I thought you should know that you were a big part of that.

Thank you.

Dear Brian,

Life has been very hectic for me lately, as I am sure it has been for you as well. I hadn't visited your or Ellen's blogs since our Redwood PCH trip ... which was a disaster in some ways, and a test of our Belief that challenges don't equal negative omens, but a chance to turn the story upside down... So... I realized that it had been some time since our last hello, and see it's been some time for you too since your last update. I read both your manifesto and the comments... Your manifesto brought me deep joy. A sense that something good was in the process of becoming. I read once a quote by Alberto Villoldo - we are not homo sapiens, we are journeying towards homo luminous. I truly believe we are in a state of definite transition - and that the Lamp Lighters will lead the way. At the same time, I felt saddened by some of the more sniperly comments, as I had read somewhere that the opposite of Love is not Hate but Fear... for love is running towards something and Fear is running away. I love that you are attempting to manifest your vision. The world belongs to dreamers. And the one's that do not understand it yet, simply are not ... there quite yet.

From one former theatre person to another -

Break a leg, and do be in touch soon. Love to you and your beautiful family. Have courage.

Tiffany

Interesting how in your wording you chose to use the "insiders" and "outsiders." That seems divisive.

And what is it you are trying to say? This is a whole lot of words that don't really say anything. I mean you say there's something coming. In reading your post I can't even tell what you are working on. Would you please clarify?

Thanks for all the comments. I look forward to playing with you all as TumbleCloud unfolds. :-)

& joan, I think you've made a common mistake, which is to confuse a simplistic idea of play with the profound act of playing in the world. Seeing & doing something about a starving child requires a certain action. I think it's just silly for you to propose that I would tell that to a starving child...

Yes, there are starving children everywhere (even in Santa Barbara) & yes, there are gross inequities everywhere in our world. Now, let's look at how often mental rigor is a synonym for earnestness & seriousness. Just because it's a common belief that serious people do serious work DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE. Some of the greatest work accomplished on the planet today is done by people living into their joy. I often remember the words of the 20th C revolutionary Emma Goldman: If I can't dance it's not my revolution. Do not discount play as a significant route to transformation...

The act of playing offers more to a heart-deadened world than another righteous & earnest demand to bring ourselves in line. So, if it takes an act of playing together to remind us of our essential connections, then that is where I'm going to begin...

with love, Brian

A lot of sound and fury signifying....what? Tell the nearest starving child (not so near to you, I suspect), that the whole problem is that we've forgotten how to PLAY. A little mental rigor here could go a long way.

Joy & love will always & forever trump fear. Thank you. I'm anxious to see what you do with this.
