All the students liked it, many were baffled, but what I saw in it was an attempt to create order from chaos and bewilderment (note the image of the inverted tree and the linking of numbers with realia) and shed light in a culture in which darkness reigned supreme. To me it shows that shamanic vision has this capacity, and the cadenced manner of its presentation (the music, the numbers, the silences) places it within the sphere of ritual.Fred Smithnoreply@blogger.com
