I've been around for much of it. The story about the Avail picture resonates in my head now (if you dont know, just ask). I missed that show, though I remember who did go. Hesse gave us a name for it. Regardless of names we see each other and respond. Its not always dramatic, though often a rush comes with the realization that we are not alone. Its easy to forget these things on your way to work at ten pm. Its just as easy to remember.
Years later we see some of the effects. Its the koan about a butterfly, read out loud in an empty forest. All of us hear it at the same time, and the light in our eyes burns so hot it dissappears from our sight.
Everyone looks for the camera holder; he can only dream to capture the essence of someone in the midst of their work as our eyes find him. It won't be long until he catches us. Who will record that moment?
Three hours developed into a week long extravaganza. We haven't even seen it happen yet, and it's more real than my oatmeal breakfast. We always had aspirations, but even the visionary didn't see it growing like this. A letter once circulated, describing the possibilities of combined effort. An event program carried the declaration, "Gestalt!" Now we begin to see the meaning of the esoteric description, "...at once many things..."
This picture is for Joe Shafer, because someone always carries a tradition.
