Welcome to the Agriolic Issue (Spring 98) of Rustlings of the Wind. Agriology is the comparitive study of non-literate cultures. The things that so often inspire us - that touch our inner selves enough to warrant an outpouring of creativity and action - are so rarely literic. Most of the time it's a raw, undiluted emotion, a powerfully wild flood of feelings, a shocking, pure and clear realization. And it brings out the best in us. It's easy to just read the words, but if you want to know and understand what's being said, you must feel the words.
