Law and Spirit: the Art
                      of Anarchy.

                ~!~ 
              
                  I am going to create a course in the Law, for those
                  inclined to the spiritual and hungering for a more
                  moral social life.  I will write this in a
                  series, published first to my Facebook friends,
                  although the ongoing/growing version will also be
                  found here: the Worcester Hills Gazette:
                  http://ipwebdev.com/hermit/WorcesterHillsGazette.html
                  
                  For a quick understanding of where we are today, in
                  America at least, this: "Economic
                    and Social Rebellion"
                  
                
              
 
                
               
               Lawyers are everywhere, as are our Courts. 
                  Much arises from this that directly effects our
                  political life - laws are, after all, constantly being
                  created.  All the same, most who write about Law
                  do not recognize the full existence and participation
                  of Spirit, which is as real as matter.  
                  
                  The professions that make up our legislative bodies
                  become a serious factor in law-creative results, and
                  for a long time lawyers have dominated these bodies
                  where laws are manufactured.  The educational
                  processes behind those who make laws - these processes
                  are a kind of spirit laid into the individual. 
                  Common ways of thought, what the word-anarchist
                    Owen Barfield called: collective representations,
                  and the socially half asleep call: memes, ... come
                  from educational/cultural life.  Presently doctors are more
                  numerous, with former governmental workers joining the
                  crowd.  
                  
                  As comedy notices, lots of chaos and anarchy among the
                  feeble minded inhabiting our nation's Capital. 
                  All those degrees, and no one seems to know how to
                  think.
                  
                  When legislators think, ... that activity is spiritual
                    activity, however careless.  It is an
                  activity by which Ideas are made real - and incarnated
                  into our social life.  The health-care
                  debate/farce is a perfect example. 
                  
                  When media conveys a story to us, its arts too
                  are a
                   spiritual activity.  What-it-all-means/horse-shit
                  is shoveled onto the world of shared
                  media/experience.  Commerce, by moral choice,
                  is all over media in order to manipulate our
                  experience, and gain advantage.  In reply, the
                  Arts-anarchists are saying, often not very politely: SCREW
                    YOU.
                  
                
              
 
                
               
               Politics today is a lame art, based upon
                  foregoing original thought, to join the big club
                  sucking at the teat of wealth and power.  Wealth
                  and Power kills anarchists, with as much forethought
                  as lives in the quantum entanglement lurking in the
                  black hole of a banker’s heart.  
                  
                  There is no need for the Arts-anarchists to tear down
                  the social - it is already in full-metal jacket
                  decay.  Rock ‘n Roll, was followed with the end
                  of studio films, and the Arts-anarchists led by
                  Warner Brother’s arch-anarchist Bugs
                    Bunny, became free of commerce on all its edges
                  - Pussy
                    Riot indeed, post/after Bugs and R.
                    Crumb.  
                  
                  The reason commerce flocks to redditors dancing the
                  twitter, while
                  also-facebooking-their-photographic-arts, is because that’s
                    where We are - the consumer of ... what? 
                  If there is a place we dine for ideas, there will lurk
                  the liars-professional.  The Collective
                  Imagination knows no bounds at all, however. 
                 Disobey says Henry
                    David Thoreau.
                
                                                         

                  
                AND, sez: Emily
                    Dickenson: "Assent, and you are
                      sane; Demure; - you're straightway dangerous And
                      handled with a chain."
                  
                  The fashioning of the Ideas for laws,
                      and the social changes to be generated, are
                      spiritual activities, all of which occurs in the
                      absence of the general knowledge of spiritual
                      facts.  Spirit is in fact the source
                  of the Law, by which the need for social order
                  struggles with freedom for individual human
                  beings.  More order, less freedom. 
                  Neighborhoods with drug dominance modes of existence,
                  are just a different kind of bank in the
                  Caymans.  All
                    depends on what folks value, and then preserve.
                  
                  The above, and coming comments, are intended to be a
                  kind of diary for what appears to lurk in my
                  consciousness as a possibly long article, perhaps even
                  a book.   It is meant to be very pragmatic
                  and practical.  These comments can be safely
                  ignored, although we
                    have not yet a government stamp of dis-approval,
                    given that these comments are actually very
                    dangerous.  
                  
                  People who think its time for a revolution in America
                  will find here a lot of useful information.  It
                  is a series of comments for anarchists who want to
                  actually think, and thus succeed.  First and
                  foremost, a true anarchist serves the rights of
                  all.  Anarchy in practice is the opposite of
                  being selfish.  All authentic religious leaders
                  are anarchists, and the births and deaths of all types
                  of religions - including the Love of Money, as Yeats
                  noticed, looses mere anarchy upon the world.

                  The Bible of the Anarchists who want to Think is
                The Dispossessed by Ursula K.
                  LeGuin.  Familiarity with it offers a new
                  language within which authentic anarchists can talk to
                  each other.  As much as possible that will be my
                  bible here, and I hope to only walk softly up to the
                  edge of fair use, before jumping over/in with both
                  feet.

               At the Wavefront of the explosive birth of Mr.
                  Internet&Companies, were the forerunners - Open
                  Source.  Information should be free to all. 
                  The true nature of our electronic communications
                  should be a fully functioning anarchy.  Not there
                  yet, though, which leads us to:
                  
                
              
              
                
              Groundhog Day. 
                      Time, and the Laws of Spirit
                   
                   different day, same shit / and then you
                      die
                
               
                  Existence is borne forward a day at a time. 
                  Cycles of sun and stars alternate.  Consciousness
                  (spirit) evolves, just as does the matter of
                  life.  Even inert matter has consciousness. 
                  Learn to listen to rocks.  They are very wise.
                  
                  The imagination cannot be contained by the laws human
                  beings fancy controls our existence.  Through
                  eons, millenia, centuries, ... the human being slowly
                  sheds the life of quiet desperation, under the foot of
                  kings and queens and popes.  The Constitution of
                  the US of A is written, and The Republic is
                  birthed.  The source of law-creation is no longer
                  to be the dominance game of wealth and power. 
                    The individual citizen is
                    declared sovereign.
                  
                  In the US of A trust given by the Citizens to their
                  political servants is violated, and the Republic is
                  being Betrayed.  To the Arts-anarchist this is no
                  problem.  “Manure
                    on the Field of Bodhi”.  Whatever the later
                  fate of the tech/communication/computer revolution is
                  - each and every person at this time has their own

                 - a gate to all the knowledge of
                      all the ages.   Genius coughs up a
                      tool.  Will we have the wisdom to find the
                      right use?
                  
                LeGuin’s: The Dispossessed,
                    is an imaginative study of human nature,
                  and our relationship to the forces of social
                  order.  Instead of arguments, this work unveils
                  its themes in picture stories, including the basic
                  fictional conceit.  It calls itself: an ambiguous
                  utopia.  We live into the novel; and, over time
                  illumination fills the mind with the primal social
                  questions as are revealed in the dramas of an
                  individual life.  
                  
                  Two worlds are proposed.  One earthlike (Urras),
                  the other - that earth’s unusually large moon
                  (Anarres) - has an atmosphere, and supports various
                  kinds of life.   Those in rebellion against
                  the over-social-control of the individual, stop a
                  civil war by accepting exile to Anarres. 
                  Hundreds of thousands immigrate.  This event is
                  200 plus years before the start of the novel.  
                  
                  For over 200 years Anarres has been incubating human
                  beings whose core principle of social life is the
                  complete autonomy of the individual - children are
                  raised to remain in tune with their own natural
                  tendency to anarchy.  The rebellious are called
                  Odonians, after their main philosophical thinker, a
                  woman named Odo (LG's Own Song). 
                  Her art was to reinvent language and create the
                  words&grammar needed for expression of the
                  underlying principles of the relationships of
                  individuals to other individuals.  
                  
                  The novel is suggesting that we too - residents of the
                  less imaginative spheres - are prisoners of our
                  languages, as well as the requirements of social
                  form.  Simple sentences are rich with
                  observations:
                  
                  The main character, Shevek, is leaving Anarres to go
                  to Urras, as part of his own scientific
                  pursuits.  The Odonians have acquired some very
                  interesting ways of seeing/meaning (ideas) concerning
                  the sexual aspects of life, and Shevek observes that
                  many the objects he sees and touches on the spaceship,
                  which brings him to Urras, have curves like the female
                  body.  Of course, ... just like our own modern
                  world.  
                  
                  An Odonian would consider such an object
                  non-functional.  But then Odonians have spent the
                  last two centuries on a world of little drinkable
                  water, and limited food sources.   Something
                  non-functional costs lives.
                  
                  Ursula K. Le Guin is one of the wisest creators of
                  modern literature.  Writing in the alleged genre
                  of Science Fiction and Fantasy, which the elites in
                  the old written arts  have failed to appreciate,
                  the powers of Le Guinn’s mind gifts us with so much,
                  through lectures and books.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin
                  
                  A group of potential
                  American-Arts-Anarchists might enjoy
                  sharing/readingoutloud the potent modern conceptual
                  music in the novel: The Dispossessed.  We
                    the People own the primal lawmaking power - the
                    Constitution is ours, yet are ruled by a vain
                    oligarchy that views us as prey.   Toward
                    what star will we steer our Ship of State so as to
                    lift it free of the Swamp of Lies?
                    
                    
                   
                Anarchists on Anarres do not own anything
                  personal.  To own is not to share, and a main
                  insult is to call someone a “propertarian”.
                    These folk then, have chosen to become
                      voluntarily "dispossessed"
                  
                  Wealth&Power loath the truth, in fiction and in
                  reality.  Shall we show them some here and now
                  America-truth?  How?  What?  Who the
                  fuck cares - an arts-anarchist places no
                    boundaries on their personal creative imagination.

                  Governments tend to need to control human
                  beings.  In a sense, when the Founders of the
                  Republic finished the Constitution, their conception
                  was that the forming of our form of government had one
                  basic goal - the granting of limited powers
                  to the central government, which was tasked
                  quite expressly: We the People of the United
                      States, in Order to form a more perfect Union,
                      establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
                      provide for the common defence, promote the
                      general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of
                      Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain
                      and establish this Constitution for the United
                      States of America.
                   
                  The
                    Founders did not want there to be political parties,
                  for their experiences up to that time had revealed the
                  inherent follies of such an approach.  We now
                  live in the
                    Trump-disaster, which was created by the
                  political parties, who have basically failed in all
                  senses to have established justice, or domestic
                  tranquility.
                  
                  Instead, the political Parties systematically lied,
                  fought over power, committed crimes to gain control -
                  everything but take care of the real needs of the
                  Citizens.  Some details are here: “Uncommon
                    Sense: the Degeneration, and the Redemption, of

                  The basic Arts of Anarchy concern how to be liberated

 Existence is meant to be
                  lived slow.  
                  
                
              every day at 6 a.m.
                        life starts all over again.  no hurry, tho'
                    
               
                The Trump-disaster is a
                        blessing, because the underlying Spirit of
                        America is in rebellion against the power of
                        politicians. 
                  Real historical change does not occur overnight, and
                  healing the ravages of Party Politics first requires
                  that the Parties be forced by divine circumstance to
                  enter failure-mode.  Dis-array benefits future
                  potential, because the connections that maintain power
                  among elites are failing.
                  
                The arts-anarchist appreciates that his/her
                  enemy is not one’s fellow Citizens. 
                  Yet, the political Parties have been so busy for many
                  generations, we take for granted that there is a
                  reality to all the Ways We the People have been
                  divided against each other.   Liberals, for
                  example, caught off balance by events they did not
                  understand, blamed those who voted for Trump.
                  
                  In this sense Liberals were not well led by either
                  Clinton or Sanders, and their own Party: the
                  Democrats.  The Parties have always favored their
                  own interests in Wealth&Power over the needs of
                  the People.  As the Parties strive to recover
                  from the Trump-disaster, among themselves they
                  flounder and fight.  The Senate and the Congress
                  are seemingly controlled by the Republican Party, but
                  they have become factious in the extreme.  
                  
                  When the Tea Party candidates took office, they no
                  longer accepted Party leadership, and although not in
                  name, we now have effectively a form of government
                  split into multiple small factions.  Ideologies
                  triumph over the search for real solutions, and the
                  former grid lock that came with the Republican
                  leadership’s refusal to support Obama, now has broken
                  down into a complete inability of the no longer viable
                  Republican Party to actually produce legislation.
                  
                
              
               
                  Gridlock has become chaos, which is more and more lost
                  in suits, and counter-suits, mistrust and infighting,
                  and flying accusations and subpoenas.  Trump’s
                  possible ability to appoint another conservative
                  justice, worrisome for many, is actually just more
                  chaos.  The Court really is not a cohesive
                  Republican or conservative operation.  Justices
                  are not predictable, and have views of the Law and the
                  Constitution that have a great deal of reasonable
                  depth and value.
                  
                  It is a meme of the flailing Democrats, that the
                  Republicans are all bad people.  Meanwhile the
                  Citizens are being forced by divine circumstance to
                  face the perception of divisions, and rediscover our
                  common peril.

                America is aging in certain circles, and
                    being reborn in others.  The personal is the

                    local.  Think for yourself, and disobey as much
                    as possible.  Don’t follow anyone.  Be a

                  Shevek, on arriving at Urras, is housed on a major
                  university campus, while various factions try to pry
                  from his mind, the mathematics he has created: Which
                  combines a physics of the Now (i.e. the simultaneous),
                  with a physics rooted in Liner time (i.e. the
                  sequential).  Along with his rooms on the campus
                  came a servant.  The rooms were so huge, Shevek
                  wondered if he was to have roommates, having been
                  raised in the sharing required by always living in
                  dormitories.  
                  
                  On Urras he did not acquire roommates, but rather a
                  servant.  There is a beautiful scene where Shevek
                  tries to explain to this “servant”, that he (Shevek)
                  does not know how to give orders.  Nobody on
                  Anarres gives orders to anyone else.

                  We can’t fix Putin.  He’s a bogeyman, and not
                  human.  NOT!  Whenever our political
                  thinking strongly dislikes someone, or some group, the
                  highest likelihood is that we are being totally
                  clueless.  Seems an old tale, but when you judge,
                  you only see the judgment - something you made in your
                  own mind (the Beam).  Trump can be understood,
                  but only if you consciously choose to respect his
                  skills.  He won, and yes They lost, but divine
                  circumstance seems, in its basic operating principles,
                  to appear to tolerate much chaos.
                  
                  If you do not think Earth Existence comes with
                  considerable divine order, then you won’t get what’s
                  going on.  If you
                    are a sovereign individual, so must every other
                    human be.
                      
                    
              
               
                  Putin has karma, just as does ISIS and all
                  “terrorists”, corporate leaders, lawyers, thieves,
                  rock stars, and perhaps even our pets.  From the
                  ‘60‘s: “my karma just ran over your dogma”.  
                  All the same, public figures choose to be open to
                  criticism.  If you make a big display of SELF,
                  there will be consequences, many predictable.
                  
                  Major Media treats our existence as actually
                  describable, when it is not.  For every home
                  reported as burned to the ground on local TV, 33,213
                  homes did not even have a power outage.  For
                  every idiot the News gets to interview to make a point
                  - this person or that person = everyone the News uses
                  - tens of thousands of people don’t think the same,
                  and many others don’t even care.
                  
                  After much worry and years of wishing the world was
                  otherwise than it obviously was, I gave up,
                  surrendered to Life, and tried to work out what
                  it/he/she was actually teaching me.  Basic point,
                  that shows up over and over again: Take
                    care of what is in front of me, and leave the Big
                    Picture to the Big Picture folks - the Gods and
                    Goddesses being far wiser than I will ever even hope
                    to become.
                
                  All the same, all humans shaman - we make the medicine
                  by which we live and see and act in the world. 
                  The arts-anarchist also knows wizardry, under many
                  various names: From 
                  <oh-boy that Arcata Train-wreck Sativa is very
                  effective in helping me figure out what to really
                  bother with and care about>; To
                  <if you want a friend, be a friend>.  
                  
                  
                  The basic laws, which the Founders accepted and hoped
                  to count upon, are not written down.  They are
                  social-laws, and we create/regenerate them in every
                  action/thought we take - 24/7.  An example,
                  especially true for modern individuals, wherever
                  possible: <work hard; play by the
                    rules; and mind your own business>.
                  
                  Whenever anyone argues that a recent action of theirs
                  was “perfectly legal”, it is the above social laws
                  that are being ignored and/or violated.  These
                  social laws - which are the Spirit of the
                    Law, are higher than the Letter
                    of the Law, and it is from our
                  individual higher sovereign Spirit nature that the
                  power came by which we Temporarily granted parts of it
                  away, given the Scale of many of our needs.
                  
                What we gave, we can take back.  The
                    Citizen is the Sovereign.

                  “There was a wall.  It did not look
                    important.  It was built of uncut rocks roughly
                    mortared.  An adult could look right over it,
                    and even a child could climb it.  Where it
                    crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it
                    degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of a
                    boundary.  But the idea was real.  It was
                    important. For seven generations there had been
                    nothing in the world more important than that wall.
                   
                   “Like all walls it was ambiguous,
                    two-faced.  What was inside it and what was
                    outside it depended upon which side of it you were
                    on.”
                  
                  What side of which walls, do you dear reader occupy
                  today?  Arts-anarchist, in normal social
                  interchanges, can be less habitual and instead more
                  creative.  Walls of social separation can be
                  bridged.  A mild intoxicant is helpful for those
                  of us who are shy.  
                  
                  A tale from my life:  I went to get my monthly
                  (sometimes weekly) blood test for my anti-coagulation
                  factors (taking rat poison to thin my blood - to treat
                  A-fib).  I was what I like today to call: Toasted
                  - relaxed, poetic of speech/thought, and delighted by
                  the ordinary.  Each day begins by getting high -
                  now a new career.
                  
                  Most of those at the clinic are elders, and I came in,
                  using a cane, to a room with several us needing to
                  stand.  A chair opened up and the late
                  middle-aged woman who was next in line, offered me the
                  seat.  I declined.  She insisted.  We
                  were being over-heard.  I decline again, and when
                  she started to insist once more I raised a palm,
                  slightly, to suggest pause, and then spoke - not
                  loudly, but the room was small: “Thank you sweet lady,
                  but were my mother to see me accept, I would be in a
                  lot of trouble.”  This brought laughter, and most
                  amazingly, while the two of us bantered, another lady,
                  a bit younger but broader of beam, took the seat.
                  
                  Social Convention has room for much creative
                  anarchy.  A joke warms, and draws folk closer,
                  while whiny/anger lends coldness, and furthers
                  separation.  The social proliferation of steel
                  magnolias (see The Good Wife TV Show) features fierce
                  warrior-women, the hallmark of no more shit
                  tolerated/allowed, as The Grandmother War heats
                  up.  Walls go up, walls go down.  Walls get
                  exploded.  The social is the perfect
                  canvas for the arts-anarchist.

                    The artistic anarchy of all the gods and goddesses,
                    including all human beings, squirrels, trees,
                    viruses, and rocks - all my relations - weaves an
                    odd symphony of unpredictable impossibleness
              
               
                  Global Warming is generated by emotional and/or
                  psychic powers, interconnected via Spirit through a
                  matrix of laws naive science doesn’t yet know. 
                  All physical processes are the end result of the
                  actions of Beings, many of which are not visible ...
                  at least to the i/eye of those trained to read words,
                  instead of the what-is.  Mother Earth can
                  self-regulate the sphere of life, if it gets too hot,
                  ... She just farts some volcano dust, and the albedo
                  of the atmosphere changes, leading to cooling.  It
                    is known that it happens, what's not known is that
                    it is purposeful activity.

                  Cause and Effect is simply not imaginative enough, as
                  an Idea, especially the more abstract it gets, such as
                  in mathematics.  Only the poet sees the true
                  causes and effects.   Titans and Furies, and
                  a whole mockery of jokers hiding in woodpiles - the
                  world is “Demon
                    Haunted”, just as Carl Sagan feared.
                  
                
              
               
                
               Meanwhile the
                      world gets more and more dangerous (apparently),
                      as mad men with powers proliferate.  
                   What the f’ are the gods and
                      goddesses, and all my relations, up to?
              
               
                  The Tale the Media Tells is False, yet a kind of
                  religion for many.  Who regularly watches the
                  evening news, or 60 Minutes?  Many of us get to
                  design our factoid inputs - social media is/has
                  replacing major media.   We get to create Our
                    Own Bubble, and most people live lives
                  far quieter than those the News sensationalizes.
                  
                
               Terrible events
                    haunt us all - lurid to picture, and fearful in
                    anticipation.  Are we willing to trust the
                    divine mystery with the direction and workings of
                    the whole?
              
               
                   The arts-anarchist recognizes his personal

                LG Again: Even in The Dispossessed,
                  the life on the Moon/Anarres still sees social-power
                  aggregate, in spite of individual freedom. 
                  Confronted by a individual, who has acquired some
                  social position by default and cleverness, Shevek
                  listens to a mind making up stuff, in order to refuse
                  Shevek that for which he must ask.  Read
                  carefully - it reminded me of bosses giving me a job
                  review, and then saying no to a salary up-tick, simply
                  for reasons of dominance - just because they could.
                  
                “What worked against you was a combination of
                  things.  The abstruse, irrelevant nature of the
                  research you’ve done these last several years. 
                  Plus a certain feeling, not necessarily justified, but
                  existing among many student and teaching members of
                  the Institute, that both your teaching and your
                  behavior reflect a certain disaffection, a degree of
                  privatism, of nonalturism.  This was spoken of in
                  meeting.  I spoke for you, of course.  But
                  I’m only one syndic among many.”
                  
                  “Since when was altruism an Odonian virtue?” 
                  Shevek said.  “Well, never mind. I see what you
                  mean.” 
                  
                  It makes a great deal of difference whether or not we
                  recognize the divine order in the world, free of the
                  take that religions requires.  We can be entirely
                  scientific in understanding: “The
                    Art of God: an actual theory of everything”. 
                  <That is a social science text based on
                  spiritual perception of how reality actually works. 
                  It walks the reader through the maze of scientific
                  error, directly to who/what it is that is an actual
                  human being, via our individual paths and lives.

                  curious paths, and everybody is apparently presently
                  immortal-dancing in matter (I've seen no evidence
                  otherwise, all tho' Ideas like: The Last Judgment can
                  bother us.  The Traveler VT tells that Tale thus:
                  
                  a) we have to face all our shit, from all our
                  incarnations, 
                  b) WE then get to decide, Either an
                  eternity in hell's fires, Or forgiving the whole
                  creation - including yourself - you know part of the
                  weight of wanting to come back all the time is that
                  the existence in Matter is such a Hoot - exactly right
                  the metaphor Cosmic Virtual Reality, its just that
                  when the player dies, oBoY!  Much unexpectedness
                  between death and a new life, although Rudolf Steiner
                  investigated it as carefully as he was able.
                  
                  We decide - neither gods, goddesses or those who want
                  to rule get to tell us what to do.  Of course, we
                  can obey, if we choose.  Our freedom is a coin,
                  that can be well spent if we awake to our potential as
                  an arts-anarchist.  Yes - there are no rules
                  except gravity, levity, sorrow, pain, laughter,

                  has a hard time understanding this

                LG Again: Most people’s rooms
                  on Anarres have few things - material objects. 
                  No clutter, for among the Dispossessed, possessing
                  more than what one needs is to be a propertarian. 
                  The bureaucrat in a world that abhors bureaucrats
                  seems to have a room full of stuff others surely need
                  and can use, but somehow or another stuff flows into
                  that office but does not flow through.
                  
                  Somehow “occupations of space” (Shevek’s wife’s name
                  for her hanging mobiles), have meaning - they tell a
                  story.  What stories do our personal collection
                  of things tell about us?
                  
                  Of course, my own rooms will not only not meet that
                  standard, but as a member of the People of Plenty
                  (Americans), most people I know have their own
                  dragon’s hoard.
                  
                  I wrote a poem, a later revision, of a forgegotton
                  earlier trip there>:
                  
                We have too much
                 If we are not careful
                 things will possesses us
                 
                 if they are lost 
                 so are we
                 and we drag them
                 everywhere we move.

                On a macro social scale, the U.S. Constitution
                  is fine.  But that law is only a

                  How we treat each other IS as a

                  play by the rules and mind your own business. 
                  That core reality  has been kept at bay, by those
                  excessive owners and thieves of anything not tied

                  In the Dispossessed, the changes in language come from
                  the genius of a single woman: Odo.  Can’t imagine
                  what a few million angry arts-anarchist’s women might
                  be getting up to, which is guaranteed not to make the
                  daily snooze news.  America is in seriously good
                  hands, many of which are invisible, and therefore all
                  the more effective.   We
                    dream America.  We sing Her shadow and
                    Her light.  We dream America, and
                    America dreams us.
