THE GREAT RECYCLING: Insights into Transpersonal Evolution

	Is the highest point of art a
	prelude to decay? Do civil
	isations reach their zenith on
	ly to rot away? Are muses' vo
	ices sweetest shortly before
	they fade?

	Fear not -
	art is a fruit
	as well as a seed.

	Great works transc
	end the dustheaps of hi
	story - they al
	so fertilise gene
	rations ahead . . .

	All things are part
	of a great recycling

	Ignore the notion of
	self and see how lit
	era
	ture keeps
	beckon
	ing
	&
	trans
	figuring


Jack:     Is this a swan song?

Juanita:  (peering around mischievously) Huh? Do you see any birds in the room?

Jack:     (laughing) No really, just some ruffled feathers!
