FEET OPEN SPACE

When the devil dances

Picture picked at: http://djembefola.com/dance.php

Harrison Owen sent yesterday this beautiful piece to the OSLIST.

I don’t know if this fits, but some many years ago I had the privilege of spending some time in the African Bush with some wonderful people. I think this was my first awareness of open space (Open Space?). Anyhow I wrote about it and it went like this (in my first book, “When the Devil Dances” and I should add that the Devil is not the familiar figure with long horns but rather the missionaries mistaken appellation for a central actor in village life.)

In the village

All things go in a circle,

And everything fits.

To speak of the drums

Is to speak of the dance,

Is to speak of the Devils…

Weaving and Forging

Fire and Steel – The Bush

Life, Death, and Life again.

When the Devil Dances Life goes on

LITTLE BOXES

Some weeks ago we returned to the ever interesting subject of education, home schooling in our radio interviews (in Basque, listen here to Madalen Goiria). Ibon Burgoa, our great technician was inspired once more to select this brilliant piece by Malvina Reynolds. Yesterday we gathered in Eutokia, a "social innovation" place in Bilbao again for an interesting conversation on education. That has taken me to copy+paste for this post.

Lyrics and below text taken from: http://people.wku.edu/charles.smith/MALVINA/mr094.htm

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1962 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1990. Malvina and her husband were on their way from where they lived in Berkeley, through San Francisco and down the peninsula to La Honda where she was to sing at a meeting of the Friends’ Committee on Legislation. As she drove through Daly City, she said “Bud, take the wheel. I feel a song coming on.”
Look  for more about the song´s story in Wikipedia

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,¹
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Enjoy yourself!
