The Grapes of Wrath

The Grapes of Wrath

We attend to Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, Wendell Berry on what goes wrong when the poor are dispossessed, and Walt Whitman’s description of what is and what is not our True Self, with music by Woody Guthrie and others.

Lamplight 84 Ainoma

Ainoma, the space between two structures in a Japanese temple

Ainoma, the space between, where you are in two places at once, or neither, beyond logic, confused perhaps, but open and ready for some kind of enlightenment, “about as near Nirvana as would be convenient in practical life”, as RLS says. We invite you to attend to discussion, readings and music on this theme.
