Bhajju Shyam, Durga Bai and Ram Singh Urveti
"Intricately drawn visions of trees fill the pages of this sumptuous book of art and folklore from the Gond tribe in central India. In Gond belief, trees stand in the middle of life, and the spirit of many things lie in them. They are busy all day, giving shade and support and shelter and food to all. Only when night falls can they find rest for themselves, and then, under quiet dark skies, the spirits that live in them are revealed. Recreated from original art by Ram Singh Urveti, Bhajju Shyam and Durga Bai, three of the finest living artists of the Gond tradition, The Night Life of Trees is a tribute to the majesty of trees, and to old ways of relating to the natural world. Each painting is accompanied by its own poetic tale, myth or lore – narrated by the artists themselves recreating the familiarity and awe with which the Gond people view the cosmos."

今年の11月9日はベルリンの壁崩壊20周年記念の日だった。
壁が崩壊、社会主義が崩壊、世界中で格差が広がりすぎ今資本主義も崩壊寸前。
「政治家に期待していてもなにもおこらない。市民一人一人の声が大事。」
と、当時立ちあがったあるもと東ドイツの婦人がいっていた。
世界を変えるお金の使い方(ダイヤモンド社、編集thinktheearth.net)によると、9,900億円で世界中の人々に毎日安全な飲み物と最低限の衛生設備を提供することができるそう。
この金額は世界の長者番付け第34位の人の資産(2004年度)にあたるというから驚き。
