There are no prescriptive solutions, no grand designs for grand problems. Life's solutions lie in the minute particulars involving more and more individual people daring to create their own life and art, daring to listen to the voice within their deepest, original nature, and deeper still, the voice within the earth.

  • -- Stephen Nachmanovitch 史蒂芬·纳赫马诺维奇

没有规定的解决方案,没有针对重大问题的宏大设计。生活的解决之道就在于那些涉及到越来越多敢于创造自己的生活和艺术的个人的细小细节,敢于倾听他们内心最深处、最原始的、甚至更深层次的声音——地球内部的声音。
