Maruyama, Water Sculpture, 2009
The great human questions arose. What is the purpose of
desire? What is a dream? A song? How do we know the depth of silence in another
human being? What is the heart? What is it to be a true human being? What is
the source of the universe and how do these individual awarenesses connect to
that? They asked the Faustian question in many guises: What is it at bottom
that holds the world together? How do we balance surrender and discipline? This
high level of continuous question-and-answer permeated the poetry and music,
the movement, and each activity of the community. They knew that answers might
not come in discursive form, but rather in music, in image, in dream, and in
the events of life as they occur. Stop weaving and watch how the patterns improve.
