modern world

couldn't resist. found a link to this clip on Malcolm Johnson's blog and was blown away by the song. it resonates in so many ways. as i seek simplicity in my daily life i am confounded by the conundrum of living simply in a modern world. while we push and push the boundaries of the scientific and intellectual world we shrink the mysterious and mystical. i wouldn't want to go without the internet, yet i would forego the microwave. how do we proceed with sincere interest? how do we keep our integrity in a time when time is measured by our passing fancies? simply simplify. marry the modern with the archaic to make new -somehow. i wish ol chinasky was still around to tell us his view of the current.
