     "THIS BOOK STARTED BACK IN 1999 when Karl-Erik asked Tex: ‘What is the word for knowledge in your Aboriginal language?’ ‘We don’t have a word for it,’ Tex replied. He must have felt Karl-Erik’s disbelieving look. Struggling to find the words he continued: ‘Our land is our knowledge, we walk on the knowledge, we dwell in the knowledge, we live in our thesaurus, we walk in our Bible every day of our lives. Everything is knowledge. We don’t need a word for knowledge, I guess. Maybe that’s why.’"

     This is kin to quiet woods.  If you haven't experienced the woods, then this might be difficult, but then again, to experience the woods is to experience urban regions too for the very foundation and existence of urban regions are the woods not the other way around obviously.  By woods, I mean the earth and sky, I mean life.  Also, don't forget this is a person analyzing quiet woods this way.  Also, I'm using a computer to discuss this.  All important in understanding quiet woods.  This, as in universe, is the quiet woods centering life with each summer cicada buzzing, same as what the chime can do for a chorus or in any monastery and temple.

P.S.  I'm looking back on some of the moq discuss posts I've saved.  A book on this given website above was mentioned by Ian in [MD] Aboriginal Wisdom on Tue, 10/31/06.
