Climate / Conversation / Life Design / Social commentary December 1, 2019 December 1, 2019 2 Comments

As a member of the Deep Adaptation Forum, I was invited to write a  post for Jem Bendell’s blog. I’d been reading posts in the Forum various plans to move to the country, buy property, invite people to build an intentional community together, and ride out …

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
Life Design / Service / Social commentary May 23, 2019 May 23, 2019 10 Comments

   I wake each day to stories of loss, of deceit and of a rabble that’s far too late to the party, clamoring for their piece of the pie. The masters are long gone. The people fight for crumbs, plotting only to line up sooner, …

From despair to repair

From despair to repair
Food & Food Systems / Life Design / Social commentary / Your Money or Your Life May 8, 2019 May 15, 2019 9 Comments

Beyond Despair – Global Earth Repair
Blessing the Hands that Feed Us / Food & Food Systems / Life Design / Social commentary / Your Money or Your Life May 7, 2019 May 7, 2019 3 Comments

At the Global Earth Repair Conference May 3-5 I experienced a paradigm shift in the structure of my thinking. I learned a few new things, but mostly it rearranged what I know into a new pattern. Grief about the inevitability of decline, not just of humans …

Do we need a lifeboat, an ark… or a big wave?

Do we need a lifeboat, an ark… or a big wave?
Life Design / Money & Life / Service / Social commentary April 7, 2019 April 7, 2019 3 Comments

For years I and others have worked with great determination to reverse the tide of destruction of natural systems, to catch some great wave of change that will lift all our boats over the great reef of resistance. We’ve launched many boats (projects), and fleets …

Life Design / Service March 18, 2019 March 18, 2019 One Comment

When I was 24, I had a trip (psychedelic) that changed my life. My fear-filled mind opened and a trusting, connected, honest, kind, joyful being trapped inside my zipped up persona took over. Sitting for hours with a group of friends, I narrated this vision …
