This book spoke to me about the loss of wisdom we are experiencing in our culture as a result of electronics that speed up our sense of time. Sound bites. Speed that our brain tries to keep up with. When I read this I was in an intensive of Continuum Movement titled Portals of Perception surrounded by rolfers. Sven is an intellectual who weaves incredibly rich sentences. I have his newest book on my list, The Art of Time in Memoir, part of teh Graywolf series on craft. He is the perfect author for this book and I am excited about delving into his words again.
