One of my most treasured possessions is an old poster, which I acquired in the early seventies at a conference in Santa Cruz, to which I had hitchhiked with a friend.
It is on yellow paper, and the graphic is done in brushstrokes, making it look Oriental (Japanese). It is of a Vietnamese woman, carrying a gun. She has a straw hat and is seen walking along a trail or ricepaddy, away from the viewer. The poster was put out by American Documentary Films in San Francisco and New York, a radical group that has produced some good films and may still be in existence. It is the poem that touches my heart.Romi/Blue The wheel of the law turns without pause. After the rain, good weather. In the wink of an eye The universe throws off its muddy clothes. For ten thousand miles the landscape spreads out like a beautiful brocade Light breezes. Smiling flowers. High in the trees, amongst the sparkling leaves All the birds sing at once. Men and animals rise-up reborn. What could be more natural? After sorrow, comes joy.
