Scene4 Magazine | letters to the editor

I enjoyed the article, it brought back fond memories of the film, which I've seen several times. As a martial artist, and traveller on the Path, I remember Billy Jack as being inspirational, and true to an enlightened mind.

Three cheers for the math-music connection.

Hey Kathi, I'll take the wisdom of Eeyore like "We can look for the North Pole, or we can play 'Here we go gathering Nuts in May'" over that of Michele Bachman who said, "We are running out of rich people in this country." She doesn't know her geography, history, science, sociology, demographics, and so how could anyone expect her to understand why gayness can't be prayed away. Pity that poor politician who thinks America is running out of millionaires. I'm lighting a candle for your birthday cake, close your eyes, and make a wish. Then let's go to the North Pole. We have too many nuts in May already!

Wonderful article, both erudite and personal, and how beautiful these luminous paintings look (at long-distance) on Scene4's excellent screen. Pictures and text brought back a whole European era for me, with the memory of exhibitions in Hamburg, Munich, Paris, and early Kandinsky paintings that inspired my first serious poems as a schoolgirl. A marvelous surprise to find Lissa Tyler Renaud here.

This has to be a statement that reverberates with endless echos:
"In the meantime, I'll revisit some Isaac Asimov or Carl Sagan or Arthur C. Clarke, play Johann Strauss' "The Blue Danube" and think of the late, great Stanley Kubrick, sit down and actually watch Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey or episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (where are you Jean-Luc Picard?) and keep the candle burning. Magic is out there, it's our imaginations that no longer exist. And this Alice will keep hoping mankind finds wonderland again."
Right on, Alice, right on.

Lia, by associating "magic" with the initial impact of the space program, which I remember in the beginning as an exhilarated hopefulness of the human capacity to imagine and achieve, I was touched once again by the impact of magic: scientific, theatrical or otherwise. Thanks for the recall.

Thank you to Ned and Louis for the comments. Magic begets magic.
