Ray Noble ... Wisdom of the Earth (? ... ?) ... story told by John Harmon tonight, to Marian McPartland, on her Piano Jazz ... His friend, "a deep thinker," struck by a tumor, had a vision ... "we restore the waters of the earth," using ceremony ... "he already envisioned a goddess of the waters ... we also cleans our spirits ... and he also" said we were bringing women more into the mix of governing us ... since we men have sort of made a mess of things. Goodness.
