Without words these images of our world gone crazy, Koyaanisqatsi, are so very powerful Yannaki ! ~

Thank you for the awareness of how a significant part of our population lives within the city maze ~

There is a certain adrenalin from life in the business suit world and I have to admit that for a very brief time in my life, of a year or two, I found myself caught up in the city lifestyle ~ I suppose I was intrigued with the idea because it was so totally different from my life growing up and college environment ~

I took the Bart train to downtown San Francisco to my art studio job each day and got caught up in the excitement of the downtown business world ... However, I could feel intuitively that this lifestyle was not ME and only a short term experiment ~ It did teach me some interesting things about the business world and people .. but it wasn't long that I returned to my familiar environment filled with nature instead of concrete as my home ~ The meaning of the Indian word describes it so well - life out of balance .. it is not a natural way to live~

As for the film's images of the inner city poverty, Yannaki, how very sad that so many desperate souls find themselves in such heartless surroundings .. Truly no one deserves to live like an animal in a cage ...That is why I am always amazed by stories of those who have escaped from their poverty and hopeless surroundings .. to find their true destiny of experiencing life's true blessings and beauty ~
