I love many things about this. The native American connection. The Bliss connection. The great tradition, so ancient, of picture poets. Modern examples Patchen and Reps. Miro symbology. The Tuareg glyphs, the universal worldwide language of petroglyphs. The nonlinear world...the emancipation of visual communication

Very interesting post. Should stay on this subject and let it take you. Might need readers to do their own research first, as I was not aware of any of this or the named people. A lot to explore here. I was sensing something similar but you went in a completely different direction that I. I did write about your ideas in my last post. You touch on something here, will be interested to seed where you take it. Best Regards - Phoeagdor.

Returning to this post now, to read it in full. While searching for your post, I discovered another newsletter called One Cloud by Sarang, it's blank with no posts, just so you know. Salutes.

Very interesting post. Certain people are breaking towards these shores without ever knowing, that others walked these lands before. I will come back to this post, with more time. Shine on.
