Blue Walls and The Big Sky (1995)

“The world is not a box, there’s no lid, no doors, no cardboard flaps or locks, and everything in nature from the clouds to the rocks is a piece of the puzzle of the purpose of mankind, it's a piece of the peace that we’ll find.”

"The People of The Boxes"
The Prophet's Hands (2003)
