The Great Wave

Hokusai Says
by Roger Keyes

Hokusai says Look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice.
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing.
He says Look Forward to getting old.
He says keep changing, you just get more who you really are.
He says get stuck, accept it, repeat yourself as long as it's interesting.
He says keep doing what you love.
He says keep praying.
He says every one of us is a child, every one of us is ancient, every one of us has
a body.
He says every one of us is frightened.
He says every one of us has to find a way to live with fear.
He says everything is alive --shells, buildings, people, fish, mountains, trees.
Wood is alive.
Water is alive
Everything has its own life.
Everything lives inside us.
He says live with the world inside you.
He says it doesn't matter if you draw, or write books.
It doesn't matter if you saw wood, or catch fish.
It doesn't matter if you sit at home and stare at the ants on your verandah
or the shadows of the trees and grasses in your garden.
It matters that you care.
It matters that you feel.
It matters that you notice.
It matters that life lives through you.
Contentment is Life living through you.
Joy is life living through you.
Satisfaction and strength is life living through you.
Peace is life living through you.
He says don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Look, feel, let life take you by the hand.
Let life live through you.

Where Children Sleep

 An introspective look at the lives and culture of children from around the world as told through a series of portraits of each child and a photograph of their bedroom. The James Mollison, who is Kenyan born but grew up in England, says: ‘I found myself thinking about my bedroom, how significant it was during my childhood, and how it reflected what I had and who I was’.

 'It occurred to me that a way to address some of the complex situations and social issues affecting children would be to look at the bedrooms of children in all kinds of different circumstances. From the start, I didn't want it just to be about 'needy children' in the developing world, but rather something more inclusive, about children from all types of situations.'

 The artist published the photographs in a book "Where Children Sleep'. It is written and presented for an audience of 9-13 year olds ' intended to interest and engage children in the details of the lives of other children around the world, and the social issues affecting them, while also being a serious photographic essay for an adult audience.

White Rabbit

The last lines of the song are "Remember what the Dormouse said. Feed your head. Feed your head." and do not explicitly quote the Dormouse as is often assumed. "Remembering what the Dormouse said" probably refers to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", Chapter XI 'Who Stole the Tarts', wherein a very nervous Mad Hatter is called to testify:

"'But what did the Dormouse say?' one of the jury asked."
"'That I can't remember', said the Hatter."

It is therefore better to say that the lyrics were inspired by the book, rather than referencing them directly.
