The negative cost of lewis and clark entering the garden of eden is that later expeditions regardless of what they were intended to do, later expeditions did not deal with the native peoples with the intelligence with the almost kindly resolve that lewis and clark did.

Since the first human eye saw a leaf in devonian sandstone and a puzzled finger reached to touch it, sadness has lain over the heart of man. by this tenuous thread of living protoplasm, stretching backward into time, we are linked forever to lost beaches whose sands have long since hardened into stone. the stars that caught our blind amphibian stare have shifted far or vanished in their courses, but still that naked, glistening thread winds onward. no one knows the secret of its beginning or its end. its forms are phantoms. the thread alone is real; the thread is life.

Christ is like a river in another respect. a river is continually flowing, there are fresh supplies of water coming from the fountain-head continually, so that a man may live by it, and be supplied with water all his life. so christ is an ever-flowing fountain; he is continually supplying his people, and the fountain is not spent. they who live upon christ, may have fresh supplies from him to all eternity; they may have an increase of blessedness that is new, and new still, and which never will come to an end.

That has been my personal relationship with god-a connection with the powerful, loving, wise energy in all of us, in all creation. it is the life force itself. we can all have contact with it each moment in our lives, but it takes commitment and practice. we must be willing to move through all our deepest fears, doubts, and misunderstandings.

I think the occupy movement will, or at least should, become a protean movement of ideas, as well as action, where the element of surprise remains with the protesters. we need to preserve the element of an intellectual ambush and a physical manifestation that takes the government and the police by surprise. it has to keep re-imagining itself, because holding territory may not be something the movement will be allowed to do in a state as powerful and violent as the united states.

That this privilege of giving or of withholding our monies is an important barrier against the undue exertion of prerogative, which if left altogether without control may be exercised to our great oppression; and all history shews how efficacious is its intercession for redress of grievances and re-establishment of rights, and how improvident would be the surrender of so powerful a mediator
