Whole Earth Review, Winter 1987

“Thinking about the right kind of untranslatable words led me to an altered state of consciousness. It was like looking at the mundane elements of everyday life through a new kind of lens, which revealed to me dimensions in my familiar environment that I simply had not seen before because I didn’t know how to look.”
