Yeah, but I mean, are you saying that it's impossible -

to work on The Little Prince with two actors and this Japanese monk.

because with that comes an immediate awareness of death...

I mean, really, tell me, why do we require a trip to Mount Everest...

by writers like yourself...

but that's not unusual that the surrealists would have been interested in Alice...

how desperately curious we all are to know how all the others of us...

And that prayer is the action of liberating these enchained embryo-like spirits...

- No. - Well, here's a view of life.

I met this man whom I greatly admire.

who wrote The Little Prince.

And they'd taken, you know, a kind of sheet or canvas...

which, in this case, was, in a way, just for an audience of one - just for me.

Oh, yes, we went off into the desert...

And people started to sit with us and started to learn the song.

The reason I was meeting André was that an acquaintance of mine, George Grassfield...

It was worked on carefully. It was thought about carefully.

Just got back from Washington, lobbying to save the redwoods.

You know, and we had tried working together, but really our work consisted mostly...

just separates you from reality in a very direct way.

And we rode and we rode.

I mean, you know, if the turtle's egg falls out of the tree and splashes on the paving stones...

had called me and just insisted that I had to see him.

And I was all into The Little Prince, and I talked to him about The Little Prince...

'Cause, you see, I think that people today are so deeply asleep...

What you're doing, in fact, is you're asking those same questions...

You know, it was like a - a Jackson Pollock painting, you know.

And she said, “I don't like it.”

who've just been lying in the bathtub all day...

because I can buy my way into the building.

and I guess even in a way, at times, sort of fascistic.

Is everything all right, gentlemen?

the third was André - I've got it written down somewhere.

we tried doing an improvisation - you know, the kind that I used to do in New York.

You know, la-last week I had this really nice director from Norway over for dinner...

and we talked from midnight until 11:00 the next morning.

But - But actually, without branches or roots, it wouldn't be a tree.

What happened after that?

He put a swastika in your flag?

I mean, we live in such ludicrous ignorance of each other.

We usually don't know the things we'd like to know...

I mean, you know, in Sanskrit, the root of the verb “to be”...

You know, what being that woman's son had done to him.

And then the three of them - Helen, Bill and Fred - showed up wearing white.

with this incredible laugh coming out of me...

I think it's because if we allowed ourselves to see what we do every day...

I think we're all in a trance. We're walking around like zombies.

well, I wouldn't feel so great about myself.

But then something had happened to André.

“And if these women could play the trumpet or the harp...

Because, you see, I think that if you put on serious, contemporary plays...

denouement, beginning, a middle and end...

that supposedly nothing can grow in, 'cause it's almost beach soil...

I mean, I remember a night. It was a couple of weeks after my mother died.

Findhorn people see it a little differently.

of how a father, or a single person, or an artist should look and behave.

And then one day suddenly you find yourself in a relationship...

I mean, really, the - the Africans would have probably put their spears into all four of us...

You have compassion for the per - Well, is the person next to you cold?

We really feel like Jews in Germany in the late '30s.

And they'd found a kind of potting shed - you know, a kind of shed, on the grounds...

again for the same reason -

and Pan indirectly sent him on his way on a journey...

and everything went haywire.

just because I think I'm reasonably friendly...

I mean, you know, let's face it.

And I think it's time that I was caught and tried the way he was.

Uh, everybody was supposed to be on an airplane...

And I'd stayed back in New York.

But he was taking over more and more.

- By the way, is he still thin? - What?

Yeah, I remember meeting him. He, uh - He asked me a lot of friendly questions.

And it did include the Tibetan swastika.

we stumbled into a clearing in the forest...

You know what I mean? I mean, it's a good feeling.

It was like, uh - like a last chance or something.

and, in a way, what I was trying to do -

There certainly wasn't a father, 'cause I was always thinking...

and look at the stars.

I mean, that's what scares us.

I mean, it's a very frightening thing, Wally, to have to suddenly realize...

and they spent the whole evening going -

and you thank God for your life.

I mean, I was on a trip. It was like being in a William Blake world suddenly.

that we're not getting any real sustenance, 'cause we don't see the world.

I just never really looked at the picture.

And then I went and tried to write an answer to her letter...

I can tell you that it is just such a marvelous advance...

What was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to pay them?

It's destroyed everything.

That's right. Our - Our minds are just focused on these goals and plans...

and all three of whom had known me for years.

So I went there. I mean, it is an amazing place, Wally.

In other words, we didn't know why we were there. We didn't know what we were looking for.

And if Debby is there?

At one time, he'd been quite fat, then he'd lost an incredible amount of weight...

and, uh, it just wouldn't be noticed.

Uh, the Galuska - How - How do you prepare that?

If you express them directly, everybody goes crazy.

And sometimes I would meditate with him.

And then, again, when it was over, it was just like the theater after a performance.

"Leaning Against A Crumbling Old Building And Sobbing."

so that you would see it, as if it was planned for you, in a way.

Now, the only other things that I remember...

So on impulse I brought Kozan back to stay with us in New York...

being at an oasis, and there were palm trees moving in the wind...

Well, you look terrific.

and there was this guy who had just won the something-something.

And in her letter she'd written, “You have dominated me.”

and I wrote in the center something like, “Your heart is in my hand.”

We - We're just going around all day like unconscious machines...

I had never, ever seen a copy of Minotaure.

and I sometimes sort of wonder, well, what is it doing to me?

'cause the moment before, we saw somebody who already looked dead...

even if I had known what I felt...

So, uh, about halfway through the week...

and partly a therapist, and partly a priest.

The amazing work he did with his company, the Manhattan Project...

and pass it around the audience.

He seemed to really connect with it.

but comfort can lull you into a dangerous tranquillity.

It would be a life of such feeling.

was now eating huge beef.

I mean, what do you think?

I think, uh, it's our nature, uh, to do things.

why is there gold or silver in the churches or something - the great cathedrals -

And it's their feeling that there have to be centers now...

By the way, uh, did you ever see...

and he said, “This is a pine tree.”

well, I'll just fail.

and that from now on there'll simply be all these robots walking around...

and, uh, you would play in some way.

were probably a reaction against a certain oppressive kind of knowledge...

I mean, that moment of being face to face with another person.

that play, uh, The Violets are Blue?

And I cannot tell you, Wally, what I was going through.

that person becomes.

I think that's right.

And if I can occasionally get my little talent together and write a little play...
