TAKING THE STEP

Yup! I'm starting a new walk. I've been toying with the thought for awhile. I liked my previous retreat from the Internet and I'm doing it again, this time in an open-ended way. I'm not sure where the path leads but, as the sage says, a long journey begins with a singe step.



Thanks to all and I hope to see ya down the trail.

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

My old Oregon community. May God bless and keep them well.

AND it's important to note that there are ecological conditions that do or do not support this. For example, if there was no spraying in my tropical home of Rio Branco, Brazil, the result could be more denge fever or malaria. Obviously, there are limits to "crazy" and that's what we are trying to figure out nowadays as we enter the times of great change. One thing is for sure -- health and survival are local, one size does not fit all.

1776 AND ITS LEGACY

It was quite a year for visions of a possible future.
