1. There is a lack of profound and comprehensive curiosity about ecology even among many current/conventional so-called biologists and naturalists. The current focus of STEAM is through a lens of the human economy and of having dynamic homeostatic symbioses (“nature”) bow to the inappropriate technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship of the Chosen Ones rather than living […]

Congratulations! You succeeded. I am a dead man walking. (And so are you.) Tried, convicted and sentenced to burial By a select, prejudiced, unforgiving cohort Relatively … hopefully temporarily … Not sane of mind. You HAVE buried me. (Not that you didn’t have help, Including self!) HOWEVER!!! … I’m not looking for pity. (There are […]

“To live, we must daily break the body and shed the blood of Creation. When we do this knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament. When we do it ignorantly, greedily, clumsily, destructively, it is a desecration. In such desecration we condemn ourselves to spiritual and moral loneliness, and others to want.” Wendell Berry, […]

But that hope never did.” https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/commentary/2019/08/11/leonard-pitts-woodstock/ In my life, the 60s & 70s was a very special time. … Flattop & burr … to hair. Latin- memorizing altar boy to knowledge-seeking skeptic. Wannabe priest/military pilot to wannabe social justice/ecological activist toward pacfism (Positively Ethical […]

I think I am somewhat of a spiritual romantic and dreamer who also tries: • to read, listen to, absorb, understand, and act out some of the manifestations of the intellect of relatively solid intellectuals in various realms and • to take some worthy pragmatic actions by tagging along with some intelligent and wise take-action […]
