how to...

...The whole question of how to stay on the bucking bronco of modern consumerist society is something that I think both of us clearly steered clear of from the outset, and this particularity is something of a bond between those of us wired this way. But it is important to remember that this idea of feeling excluded is not inevitable: this is exactly what Eve brings to Adam, the perspective that they are excluded from nothing, that the necessity of their outsider status is a privilege and a great gift, not a deprivation. That however outnumbered the refusnik may feel by the mass of warm bodies all moving in the same - different - direction, there will always be company, fellow travellers, with whom to feel like kin - maybe not even warm or bodied any more, but living in books, in music, in art, in our memories. The community of cultural outsiders - even outsiders who find themselves capable of being effective in the world at the same time as sideways to it - is a never-ending companionship, the great and immortal, power of art in the face of nature’s transformations - and the dance-partner of human limitation.
