[FRIAM] where are the "patriot hackers"?

[Merle Lefkoff]

"True" things about the world beyond the reach of science must be included
in the expanding dialogue, like a mountain that is also an earth being, or
forest animals that are spirit masters of their worlds. We can think of
them as other-than-humans, but they "exist" in indigenous cultures.  They
are only "beliefs" in ours,  but for those of us who are "Animists", they
are always present in the dialogue.
