Why? Why? Why? Are we there yet? Recurrent travel themes for children and adults. We all live in a puzzle. And to counter unsatisfactory official guidance around what life is really about, we adults comfort ourselves with (depressed) acquiescence and/or distractions — faking a semblance of control … Why not repeat what we did as […]

Hope of humankind
Which hope? “Community” or Hegel’s “self as the will-to-power” in conflict with another’s “will-to-power?” Individualism or communalism? A poignant discussion point in today’s world: on the stages of the Ukraine & N.Korea, of ecovillages, family homes — wherever individuals, desiring to gather together, choose to continue/slow down or even stop growing in what it means […]

Net0.30 study Grant
Great news about the Findhorn Ecovillage Community Net0.30 study and PETs 2021 National Lottery Grant application. Here’s the press release: Great news, but stuff doesn’t stop there– ie. with other people offering a climate action smorgasbord for you not to pick and choose from…😱 Remember Gandhi’s statement about “Happiness is when what you think, what […]
Just do it, RIGHT?!
We’ve been talking about the New Normal since the first statistical decreases in this pandemic’s infections/hospitalisations/deaths. “Enough talking,” say I.
