There is Room for All of Us!

Terri Gross replayed an interview this week that she had originally done with Ken Kesey in 2001.  In her questioning she asked him about what he had done, i.e the acid, the social experimentation, etc,  but more importantly about what he had learned.  This answer resonated with me: "We suddenly realized that theres a lot more to this world than we previously thought. I think, you know, because I'm asked this question a lot. Its been 20 years or so and people are always coming back saying well, what you think? And I'm - the one of the things that I think came out it is this that there's room. We don't all have to be the same. We don't have to have Baptists, coast to coast. We can throw in some Buddhists and some Christians, and people who are just thinking its these strange thoughts about the Irish leprechauns, that there is room, spiritually, for everybody in this universe."  (painting is 'Sky Light" by Mark Bowles)
