Have y'all been to the Smithsonian's Native American museum?
You should, really. You could even just eat there. But what would be cooler is if you actually went through some portion of the strangely disjointed but interconnected design of the exhibit/collection/whatever. It's based on concepts. It's a physically manifested series of concepts! It doesn't seem to aim for a narrative of any sort, and yet things tie together.
And all the ideas of the universe presented therein tie together, too. Strong argument for some sort of Jung/Joseph Campbell/whoever idea of collective truth at whatever level of consciousness.
Although, really, all of my weekend of vacation (a whole week ago) was all about the interconnectedness of things. And plantains. And ceviche. Which just makes me feel alright with the whole world thing (both the interconnection and the plantains; ceviche, when bad, can be really really bad).
Other things that are good: Amy Ray's newer solo venture, "Prom", Everything Bad is Good for You (a book about how pop culture doesn't suck, duh) and Art and Fear (a book about art and the fear that keeps people from making it).
