| p51 | And so it is that life is in need of edifying but cannot be made so in full view, for in full view the tourists to life are attracted and the audience roars past what is there to guide and light the way beyond what can be seen. Be no tour guides for the edification is wrongly placed. The tour, bought and paid for, is meant to edify its guests and added as one more thing that is their due, not sacred fish of sacred water, but fish bought to pay the wages of a fisherman to pay the bill for his mortgage, all tithe for tat in the great and sorrowful edification in which that which lives is prized as rare and viewed as oddity, a quaint magic on the slate of tour destinations. Aborigines are viewed with yaks and yutes, one more commodity in an endless stream. Tourists pay to see the natural and still do not see what it could reveal, for it is not seen nor shown as sacred on the tour circuit. |
