I don't know if this fits, but some many years ago I had the privilege of spending some time in the African Bush with some wonderful people. I think this was my first awareness of open space (Open Space?). Anyhow I wrote about it and it went like this (in my first book, "When the Devil Dances" and I should add that the Devil is not the familiar figure with long horns but rather the missionaries mistaken appellation for a central actor in village life.)
In the village All things go in a circle, And everything fits. To speak of the drums Is to speak of the dance, Is to speak of the Devils. Weaving and Forging Fire and Steel - The Bush Life, Death, and Life again. When the Devil Dances Life goes on.
