I have been reading Jerry Mander's excellent book, Four Arguments for The Elimination of Television.

It's a great read. And even though it was written in 1971, it is even more important today.

He suggests. among many things, that television (and video) is far too frenetic and too fast paced. It separates us from the world.  It is not real.  

Inspired by the book, I have made an attempt at a differnt use of the medium. This is from our garden in Dale Abbey, in England.

Take 10 minutes to meditate on it.

And because the legacy media is in trouble, the nation is in trouble.
