“White Rabbit going to devour our grain, our seed, our living. We won’t have nothing more this world.”
(Northern California Indian dream prophecy)
When I watch a Miyazaki film I can’t help but think about his attunement to the world, the presence it requires to transmute the real world into a fantastical one. That’s the interesting contradiction of writers and artists, I suppose: alienation is a necessity, but so is participation. The point of getting better is to be more in the world.
Our religion is based on visions and dreams. It tells us to be good, to love one another, to be kind to one another and not do bad things.
