Living in rural Dixie, one has absolutely no acquaintance with contemporary life, unless (from time to time) someone tosses a life preserver, to taste the lastest fizz.
Her marvelousness does not trickle down, as Mr Stockman warned, it might very well not. But she lives, so she must not have shown up in Aristophanes, although she sounds as if she did. I'd put her in Stoppard, but again the "living" thing gets in the way. Then who IS this vestal bitch, and did she say this to Charles Gibson, none too soon on his way out the door? Anyway, Kevin, I implore your mercy, send me a url to her latest bleat.
Whew. Now, then. We have this terrible problem with numbers, down here, owing to the scarcity of our improvements. We actually count the Ground Floor as 1, rather than 0, and by this system I get 3 of those amiable features MR mentions, unless you care to divide them in half as many of us do. But universally, I should think, every semblance of the succour and solace of Home is sequestered in them all, and with so much aplomb of amenity as to take one's breath away.
Unless one says goodbye to what one loves, and unless one travels to completely new territories, one can expect merely a long wearing away of oneself. - Jean Dubuffet

.My call for a spiritual revolution is thus not a call for a religious revolution. Nor is it a reference to a way of life that is somehow other-worldly, still less to something magical or mysterious. Rather, it is a call for a radical re-orientation away from our habitual preoccupation with self towards concern for the wider community of beings with whom we are connected, and for conduct which recognizes others' interests alongside our own.

Great men are they who see that the spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fighting Against Neglect
. .
Our problems, both those we experience externally such as wars, crime and violence and those we experience internally as emotional and psychological suffering will not be solved until we address this underlying neglect of our inner dimension. That is why the great movements of the last hundred years and more--democracy, liberalism, socialism, and Communism--have all failed to deliver the universal benefits they were supposed to provide, despite many wonderful ideas. A revolution is called for, certainly, but not a political, an economic, or a technical revolution. We have had enough experience of these during the past century to know that a purely external approach will not suffice. What I propose is a spiritual revolution.
In a dying civilization, political prestige is the reward not of the shrewdest diagnostician but of the man with the best bedside manner. It is the decoration conferred on mediocrity by ignorance.
