The Rainbow People
by Andy Lehman

We jumped into the prism
Because we wanted to see ourselves.
We wanted to probe the light that drove us.
As we passed through we felt ourselves split,
And we were made whole.
We saw in ourselves every color,
Every language, and every mode of being.
We felt our consciousness
Fulfilling its highest purpose:
To bring out in us a picture of every possible future;
Every beautiful dream and Every vicious nightmare;
We held within us the light, the dark,
And all the subtle hues in between.
To become lost in the labyrinth of oneself
Is to become clear to the rest of the world.
And in that clarity the world will heal.
We will find our truth.

Know what, Andy? Sometimes, the best way to find the way is to just jump in. Your entry, all of a sudden make it all seem very simple to me.

I like the way you typed the name of your piece again at the top of your entry with the name of the author underneath it. It does make it very simple , doesn't it. For after all what does it matter whether the name of the author is William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo or Andy Lehman? What matters is that we know who the author is. I think that pretty much take care of our two first big categories. As far as the third one is concerned (The Collaborative Projects, where people work in concert on a given story) I think it could be run rather effectively though an Index post that would pull all the related entries together and would give new directions as the participants move along with the project. See Template.

And, oh, errr...(ooops!) ---I can just be so single-minded sometimes--- great piece, Andy ;-)

Yeah, I think you're right. I'd still like to have the first two in separate categories; someone might come in only wanting to read stuff by NCN members, without wanting to sift through reference material. I think having links on the front page that bring up lists of the approptriate articles would work just fine for that (I spent over an hour figuring out the javascript thing... don't ask, or do and be prepared to be bombarded with technical mumbo jumbo ; ) ). The link to The Roundtable (names can change, I just came up with those so as to have something to work with) could link directly to the Index entry you speak of. That way everything would be accessible from the front page. And the links would be an additional part of the Reference sention...

And thanks... I wrote this one a long time ago; it was the first post I made in my own log, back in 2/01.

No, I couldn't just have used normal links. Why ever would Andy need a java script, you ask? Ha. Funny story. Know that thing that almost always appears at the end of NCN addresses "&time=2397582" or whatever? I figured out what that's for... sorry. It was just kind of fun, and now I know five or six times more about HTML and Javascript than I ever did before. And I know more about how NCN works. Fun fun fun. Not on anything, though : ). Just the joy of discovery.

The action is immediate
and compells us forward
through your recollection
in the past tense
which for the reader is an emerging future,
and then you lock those alternative
visionary views
into our present,
which is our future,
in the end.
._*_.
This is a nice direction.
