"Do you realize," the phytolinguist will say to the aesthetic critic, "that they

couldn't even read Eggplant?" And they will smile at our ignorance, as they

pick up their rucksacks and hike on up to read the newly deciphered lyrics of

the lichen on the north face of Pike's Peak.*

Trouble is an interesting word. It derives from a thirteenth-century French verb meaning "to stir up, 'to make cloudy," "to disturb."

Our task is to make trouble, to stir up potent response to devastating events,

as well as to settle troubled waters and rebuild quiet places. In fact, staying with the trouble requires learning to be truly present.*
