The band is formed , has some amps and speakers, mike stands, pickups, nothing fancy but the talent. As the Lone Ranger might say, “ My work here is done. It’s been a daydream, light or dark , one I’m still in the middle of but not really a part of, any more than I’ve been a part of sustaining or overthrowing the order of tyrants I recognize and resist in my mind. We all want to be the hundreth Monkey, tip the scales in favor of enlightenment , and can a person through themselves into the Cosmic Consciousess ad create a ripple that grows to tsuami proportions ? We don’t really know yet. April introduced me to Dhavad, who asked me what I thought of his plan to sit continuously reciting the bible on the lawn at Old Main. Dhavad had quit using his name in its given form, David. The hope was to gain some effectiveness, but in a month he had killed himself. There are bits of conventional and Movement wisdom people cite, or chose to forget whenever handy. You tell me it’s the institution, well you know, you better free your mind instead What have we been fooling around with, that a guy would read the bible aloud to the people around him, until he kiled himself? This has happened so many times, rumor has it, with guys who went to Vietnam. I suspect the dstatistics are inflated, which would mean they aren’t statistics, but rumor. Stories circulate, tales of guys who can’t live memories of brutality, cowardice, killing, and resort to killing the helpless victim that is themself. Nobody’s done anything in a war that will be atoned for by killing themself . The folk tales and legends most would prefer to believe involve journeys and tasks of remption. Dhavad was younger than I am, twentythree ,at the very oldest, hadn’t even been in the service . Was he giving up on God, or himself when he held the pistol to his temple.
