Seers and Clowns (1994)

Bridging the insights of visionaries with the antics of fools Seers and Clowns weaves a delightful tapestry of crosscultural vignettes A Siberian shaman scales the Tree of Life and attains enlightenment The Contrary Clowns descend to an underworld of improbably hilarity A Chinese oracle foresees the collapse of an unbalanced civilization A Zen frog smiles Zen clowns act out absurdity in the maze Cybele the Anatolian goddess of wildlife sees a wasteland of loneliness and oppression In the distance a familiar song is heard Winter ends with the coming of spring Her longedfor partner returns Accompanied by drums cymbals and pipes the worlds of Chief Seattle LzoTze and Kabir illuminate the way Love and boundless creativity are celebrated by seers clowns and all their friends
