Trevor Burrowes Thanks. This is as close as anything I've been thinking. Municipalism. The feminization of politics. But I've also reached a do-nothing state of mind. No effort. The ultimate feminism.  

Seems we have a bunch of things. Whether thy have to do with ontology or epistemology (and other stuff I don't know) I can't say. But I'm strictly working with what people do, with what forces and movements exist, without putting in much effort of my own. (And actually, it's quite a lot of work just doing that!) It sort of gets to be about collective consciousness, which will have to snap or click into some other state. And that through system-wide self organization. We just shine our light, follow some sort of internal text, exactly as in doing some art project. It's up to the self-organizing system to get it right or not. And it's on me to make and art project that *I* like. You know it when you see it. Following the path of least resistance...

Trevor Burrowes Edward Hopper "railroad "underline" 

House is very similar to the Madrid cabin style. Seen from a car along 14, there ought to be many variations on the theme of three basic divisions--foreground/middle ground plains, distant mountains, and sky. Railway "underlines" don't figure much except near Cerrillos, but in the unfortunate event that large scale new development can't be avoided, arranging it in straight lines that function like underlines to the hills is a possibility.Manage
