An Easter Sermonette

An Easter Sermonette
Climate / Conversation / Happiness / Life Design / Service / Social commentary April 4, 2021 April 4, 2021 8 Comments

   Well, I do declare… I declare that I have to say this for my own dignity, sanity and integrity.  I need to say where I stand in this world, even if I feel like a fool saying it, given how the devastating story running …

Not the end of the world after all

Not the end of the world after all
Climate / Social commentary / What could possibly go right? March 30, 2021 March 30, 2021 5 Comments

   What could possibly go right? Now. 2021. Now as the vaccines loosen us up, sending kids to schools and people to work. Now that unemployment is down and the stimmy checks are landing in bank accounts. Now that we’ve collectively wrenched power from the …

Coexistence as the climate changes

Climate / Conversation / Life Design / Social commentary December 1, 2019 December 1, 2019 4 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 …

What the climate will change

What the climate will change
Climate / Money & Life / Social commentary September 3, 2019 September 16, 2019 2 Comments

 We talk of “climate change” as if it is a phenomenon out there, not in here. That comfortable lie shattered this year, and this post spills out some of my feelings. If climate change is someone else’s responsibility, we play the blame game, and put …

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

I belong to an online climate discussion group that today asked three questions: what is the state of the movement, do we need climate change or system change, and do we need a meta-movement? Keying off the insights from the Earth Repair Conference, I wrote …

Beyond Despair – Global Earth Repair

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 …

Allowing ourselves to feel the burn

Allowing ourselves to feel the burn
Life Design / Service / Social commentary / Your Money or Your Life April 22, 2019 April 22, 2019 8 Comments

Consensus is growing. Civilization as we know it is on a death watch. Like so many who stand at the bedside of ones we love, I feel helpless and heartbroken. With all the information we’ve had for decades – all the books/ papers/ websites with …

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 …

Hello, I’m Vicki and I’m a Morality Junkie

Hello, I’m Vicki and I’m a Morality Junkie
Freedom / Happiness / Money & Life / Service / Social commentary March 20, 2019 March 21, 2019 5 Comments

There. I said it. In a society where “whatever” is the only safe ground in a sea of fanatic polarization, I confess to loving morality and moral dilemmas. Not the Tab A into Slot B morality of matching actions to credo and taking the safest …
