Subject: Flatten directory structure

All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /.
I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make
linking easier.  I'm still thinking about whether I should
move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into
an 'assets' folder of some sort.  We'll see.

+_[ART and CRAFT][] are only the inside and outside of the same building.
+The ceiling is_---here he put his eraser to his bottom lip, thinking.
+He crossed out _~~The ceiling is.~~_
+_The floor is reality and the ceiling is ~~aspiration~~ ~~desire~~ that which is desired.
+CRAFT is building a [chair][] from wood.
+ART is using the wood as a substrate for an emotional [message to a future person][], the READER / VIEWER._
+
+_The important thing is they are both made of wood.
+The important thing is they were both, at one point, alive natural things that grew and changed and pushed their way out of the dirt into the air.
+They formed buildings out of the air.
+They didn't even try._
+
+_What separates us from them, the trees?
+[We have to try.][]
+We must labor to create our ART, [our buildings of air][].
+We lay them out brick by brick, we build them up by disintegrating trees and forming them again into what they were before.
+Why must we do this?  Are there any advantages to this human method?_
+
+_Our advantage is [memory][].
+Our advantage is the reaching-out over space and time to others with our words, our ART.
+Our buildings last for generations, and after they are demolished they are written about, [photographs][] are taken, we **remember**.
+The [act of memory][] is our only ART._
