last call
Seriously ready to wrap this thing up and call it done, I would finally rest my case by saying I'm no stranger to these grand ideas and schemes of bettering the human and planetary condition. I'm no expert in this tricky realm for sure, but I've enough experience to take it to the next level and implement my ideas and plans and, again, move my efforts from theory into practice.
In the second issue of Manitou magazine in the spring of 2003, idealism remained high as we considered the prospect of war while the U.S. entered Iraq. In this issue I interviewed a musician friend where we discussed a number of things, from the key to improvisation and getting along, to his then-recently released CD, Traveler's Tales, a veritable magic carpet of "orchethic" rock.
In this issue I also started a column called "The Final Word." Much as I sometimes cringe at my writing style back then (and some of the things I said), I think the general ideas are still right-on. With a picture of me playfully perched on an amanita mushroom in typical peacenik tie-dye garb, in this particular column I discussed the importance of cooperation over competition in the process of evolution and survival of the species, to which I added an old Indian parable concerning how we start this most difficult and challenging collective effort to create a lot more peace and harmony on this planet. It's the same answer I've been repeating for so many years it appears I'm playing the broken record. Change begins at home.
Beginning at home indeed, it's time for some serious change, time to try something radically new and reasonably different, something heretofore mostly written and thought about. It's a bit daunting this dubious task and uncertain quest. But the alternative of doing the same thing while expecting a new result...well, as I understand it, that's what drives us nuts.
