Long Time Gone
Song from Crosby, Stills & Nash — 1969


1969 was a year, much like out present era, in which many in the USA realized that we were trapped in a war which had no real purpose, could not be won, and from which we could not extricate ourselves. (The war went on for another mindlessly obscene six years!)

A major challenge of the era was how to keep one’s life from being engulfed by the tide of arrogance and stupidity represented by the war that would not stop, how to keep one’s heart from dying of grief. That was the context in which Crosby, Stills and Nash wrote and performed this song.

Joanna Macy Video on Nuclear Weapons
The Challenges of the Poison Fire



[field HTML-JMACY-TREASURE-VASE]

To see video player controls, hover mouse over player.


Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy explores the spiritual challenges to humanity presented by nuclear weapons.  She is filmed by Cynthia Jurs, Director of the Earth Treasure Vase Project, a Tibetan spiritual practice of filling clay jars with prayer scripts and small objects of deep meaning to the givers, and then burying the vases at trouble spots around the world.  The Treasure Vase ritual asserts the power of consciousness and intention in a world imagined as full of only inert objects.  Several Treasure Vases have been buried at nuclear weapon sites.
