Interesting. I read a much older biography, like, before he turned nutso. Maybe this covers more of that shift.

Prayers of the Cosmos: Reflections on the Original Meaning of Jesus' Words
by Neil Douglas-Klotz (Goodreads Author) |

“things started getting better when the people of West Point slum starting singing "No one is coming to save us!" It was a turning point. It meant they understood that local leaders were their best hope for surival. The people were finally in charge of their own future.

And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination.”
