. freedom is not the blue sky freedom is a blind child who asks why freedom is not a pair of wings freedom is a caged bird that sings freedom is not living carefree freedom is an endless loving spree freedom is not providing for our needs freedom is bowing to the wish of the weeds freedom is not a long-winded speech freedom is when silence can teach freedom is not a delirious dance freedom is a hanged man who's got no chance freedom is not a river that flows freedom is a wounded raven who crows freedom is not a feather in the wind freedom is an angel who virtuously has sinned freedom is not the state of affairs freedom is when a heart willingly dares freedom is not a right of some kind freedom is a state of mind .  |

Word.
thanks for reading, dear Peter Greene!
in the beginning was the word... and the word was with god... but crow stole it from him!
:D
thanks, dear Dan Leo!
That crow! what a burglar. Ever read bill Reid's Raven Steals The Light?
:D
nope!
i'm off to find it... ( or steal it?!)
caw!
a collaborativework (o i want to see all those drawings!)
on native american (i've been one of them in a previous life! really!)
mythology(my favorite subject)
intro by levi-strauss (can't wait to read his words!)
but i couldn't even have a glance inside the book on amazon!
patience crow... you'll find a way to buy the book!
does he steal the light from gods? like prometheus who stole fire from them for man? like satan who stole awareness and knowledge from him?
well... myths are rooted in our collective unconscious...
thank you very much for this sparkly gem, dear Peter!
