Through words and imagery, David Abram speaks fo the SEED conference and his view that a dialogue on"time" must "aim toward the present moment". David expresses, with impassioned clarity, that "to come deeply into relationship with one another and with our world neessitates that we drop inside of time into the thick of the sensuous present...". The Language of Spirit Conference is presented each year by the SEED Graduate Institute.
