WHEN THE LOTUS SINGS: A textual pastiche & celebration

IMAGE: Lots fields warped in strange geometries, with snippets of 
text in various languages - 

	de forêts disparaissent
	disparaître dans l'air
	le chire me rate.

	Sin el fango, no pueden nacer las flores.  
	Lo que parece humilde o sucio este día contiene semillas preciosas.

Bhäraté:  (sighing) It is refreshing to find words free of meaning. . .

Chariya:  (responding in sign language) Yeah. Too much "meaning"
          creates a sort of a sort of intellectual strait-jacket, doesn't it?

Daiki:    (scratching his head) Straight or twisted - why fret about insignificant things?
