"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,
