On the road in the American Northwest.
In all performance, demand VISION,
come back with gifts from some unknown,
unexplored wildness, magnificent for
the very fact that you have actually been there,
and have somehow managed to return.
All else is mere repetition.

(95) Path of Violence? Violence is like a pool
of poison water threatening the river of life.
Gazing out over the whole of the river, one sees
that answering violence with violence never stops
the corruption of the water, but rather becomes
a part of the pollution itself;
Violence is like a fire raging in the house of love
and good intentions. Never putting out the flames,
answering violence with violence is the fuel that
burns the house to the ground;
Violence is like a noise drowning out the symphony
of all peoples. Answering violence with violence,
noise replaces music, soon becoming the
only sound we know.
