Once upon a time in a place far away, lived a man named Gary Larson who used to draw cartoons. It was a cartoon that appeared for many years in daily newspapers and was loved by millions. (And was confusing to millions more.) But one day he stopped.Gary went into hiding. He made a couple short films. He played his guitar. He threw sticks for his dogs. They threw some back.Yet Gary was restless. He couldn't sleep nights. Something haunted him. (Besides Gramps.) Something that would return him to his roots in biology, drawing and dementia--a tale called There's a Hair in My Dirt! A Worm's Story.It begins a few inches underground, when a young worm, during a typical family dinner, discovers there's a hair in his plate of dirt. He becomes rather upset, not just about his tainted meal but about his entire miserable, wormy life. This, in turn, spurs his father to tell him a story--a story to inspire the children of invertebrates everywhere.And so Father Worm describes the saga of a

The young earthworm learns that nature is not a cute and cuddly theme park designed for the entertainment of stupid humans, but a complex, fr
A twist on a popular saying illustrates this: “When the student is ready, the teacher will come… when the teacher is ready the student arrives!” Carlos the Uwishin also had his boundaries tested: how would he deal with the luxuries provided for him when he began healing in the western world? And, after that world imprisoned him following the death of a group member post Ayahuasca ingestion, how would his own boundaries change? The larger question is how might a capitalist society change in response to the plants impact?
It seems important for me to note that some spiritual seekers can gain access to knowledge and experience without the use of hallucinogenic drugs and others cannot (i.e., Don Juan’s use of hallucinogenic plants with Carlos Casteneda). Lenov conjures a timeless peasant utopia where villagers all are one big happy family, where no one owns much or gets sexually jealous, and where they have sayings like “Nothing belongs to us but time.&r
