Well, I agree with Harrison about learning from history. I think the stories, poems and reflections in the archives have unique value.
Yet I'm also drawn to blank canvases and re-inventing the old without realising it, as well as the metaphor of the Phoenix. Are we creating myths about open space that are more dogma than vibrant folklore ? Is the Guide turning into an Old Testament bible? I hope not. The best archives are the ones to come, the best history lies up ahead. The archives feel to me to be both a treasure chest and a cluttered attic. Just worth exploring ?
