"In the 'LOVE' bulletin, whose first number you are just holding, we will publish
reports bimonthly on the world-wide love activities, and will send it to those who
show interest in that, and to all collaborators whose contributions will be
published." Essay by the editor, "Reflections on Love." Letter from Siglinde
Kallenbach (Germany). Response by the editor reads in part, "The meditation for
Yugoslavia is a very good thing to do. The art today, I think, should be meditation
and inspiration of people and nature in order to help. The War situation that is at
the moment in Yugoslavia is a good opportunity to send positive waves and
support positive forces that are existing here, but have a really hard time in their
struggle with negative forces that are suddenly released after 50 years of
totalitarism and artificial balance between Yugoslavian nations, republics and
their economies." Documentation of the editor's "Rituals of the Spreading of
Love, 1984-1991."

time when we in Yugoslavia are living so close to death, we can feel more clear
how much love is precious and important. If there would be real love between
people there would be no war. It simply could not be possible." Report of the
editor's performance, "43 Cubic Meters of Love," Beograd, March 21, 1992.
