And finally the lark had a solution.She decided to bury her father in the back if her own head.And this was the beginning of memory.

*The Beginning of Memory**There's a story in an ancient play about birds called The Birds**And it's a short story from before the world began**From a time when there was no earth, no land.**Only air and birds everywhere.**But the thing was there was no place to land.**Because there was no land.**So they just circled around and around.**Because this was before the world began.**And the sound was deafening. Songbirds were everywhere.**Billions and billions and billions of birds.**And one of these birds was a lark and one day her father died.**And this was a really big problem because what should they do with the body?**There was no place to put the body because there was no earth.**And finally the lark had a solution.**She decided to bury her father in the back of her own head.**And this was the beginning of memory.**Because before this no one could remember a thing.**They were just constantly flying in circles.**Constantly flying in huge circles.* -- Laurie Anderson

A very beautiful and clever way of reimagining Aristophanes. Miss Anderson always delivers.

Saw the premiere of Homeland and the Vancouver Olympics and it was a cathartic experience. I was speechless at the end of the performance.

It is interesting to hear how a non-Indigenous person... a person not of a Tribal Earth nation shall we say.... from a culture that has no or very little understanding of collective memory, memories that are stored within the Elders and gifted to younger generations through song, art, dance, ceremony and everyday talk... the Oral Traditions..... it is interesting to hear how memory is thought of and it is interesting to me how she still connects the elder with the younger. Very thoughtful L.A.

what an amazing song..

i didn't know this song (or didn't remember it - memory...) i was expecting the creation of land, after the beginning of memory - instead of which : silence ! good thing, gives time to think - maybe some kind of land to let the spirit get somewhere, after circling

Guilhem (2y10m) has discovered rucksacks - he has a furry little froggy one, and spent most of yesterday afternoon filling it up with "legohs" and putting it on and taking it off and emptying out the "legohs". I see this as a sequel to the discovery of pockets (mainly used for keeping stones found at the park), which was itself a sequel to the simple practice of openly hiding Bunny under a cushion and asking "Where's Bunny?" And all this leading up to the idea of his mind as the ultimate pocket or bag...
