					<description><![CDATA[Artemis - First of all, welcome to the site. Thanks for the eloquent reminder that we might become more functional if only we had the strength to let go. The performers you enjoyed weren&#8217;t obsessed with having expensive props or material rewards. They were focused on being in the moment. I agree with you that many of our national woes result from unrecognized cravings to control the uncontrollable. Individually, Americans crave material goods to the extent that we seek to turn our houses into modern glitzy castles filled with enough unused, unremembered, uncared-for stuff that it gums up our lives like cholesterol. We crave a bomb-proof, death-proof, insult-proof existence drenched in cheap oil, one that is surely impossible. What we crave and what we fear turns us inside-out and it&#8217;s now keeping many of us from living in the moment.&#160; Many of us are now living in nightmare parallel existences while our real lives tick by. ]]></description>
