Merely Challenging / No Problem


Laurie Anderson: The Beginning of Memory



Laurie Anderson: Transitory Life




If the world were
merely seductive,
that would be easy.
If it were
merely challenging,
that would be
no problem.
But I arise
in the morning
torn between a desire
to improve the world
and a desire
to enjoy the world.
This makes it
hard to plan the day.
--E.B. White


DOWNWARD THROUGH THE EVENING TWILIGHT
ANOTHER WORLD SPINNING INSIDE OF THIS ONE
WE MUST SOMEHOW TAKE A WIDER VIEW
