"The other thing that is on my mind these days is the growing convictions that there will be no real help for education until people begin to experience the reality of spiritual world, objectively. Until we can see through surfaces to the forces at work, our knowledge will be full of error. It's good to be personal and interdisciplinary and creative and all that, but it is not really the point, I am thinking. The point is that the world is a living being, and we better set about learning how to understand her. There will be no moral renewal until perception gets sorted out. Whaddya say . . . " Mary Caroline Richards, from a personal letter, 1975.
"The subject she teaches isn't listed in the catalogues." -John Cage.
