The true irony in all of this is that we of the western mind all bow
mostly to our comfort zone - whether it's John McClellan sitting in his
peaceful valley with the wood stove, computer, tepee and splendid
isolation from the masses, or the rest of us trying to carve out a
splendid enough piece of the pie so that we may enjoy our wood stove,
computer (latest model), tepee (or not) and splendid isolation from the
masses; be it in the name (or not) of deep ecology, paganism, buddhism,
etc. It's all quite romantic, isn't it? A monk inquired, "What's the
problem?" The master said, "You don't notice the stench of your own
shit!" -Darrell Koerner, Boulder
