This post is a series of articles I have found recently that illustrate for me the complexity of what we must deal with as a culture. I shake my head in wonder, and sometimes struggle to stay out of despair. Even in despair, I choose to be function in contemplative action.
A Look at Past and Future Climate Change in Less Than a Minute (20190218)
Two graphics that illustrate the changes in average temperature over the 20th and 21st centuries. Simple, impressive.
re: Generation (20190218)
An excellent article regarding our failure as a generation to respond to the existential crisis of climate disruption — we need now to support our youth as they stand up to our acedia. Hopefully they will manage better than we have done.
Rethink Activism in the Face of Catastrophic Biological Collapse (20190304)
The second in a series (the first is also online). Both express the vulnerability needed to come to terms with the possibility of our collapse as a species.
The strongmen strike back (20190314)
An excellent article on the rise of authoritarianism throughout the world. I am currently in a small group exploring issues of Power & Privilege; what I recognize from this article is that I am currently only exploring the tip of the iceberg.
The Gentrification of Payments (20190317)
The complexity of the issues whereby power infiltrates systems astounds me.
Here’s Why America Is Dumping Its Trash in Poorer Countries (20190309)
I assume it is also likely true of Canada. The denial of garbage is another illustration of the complexity we must overcome if we are to survive, let alone thrive, as a species.
Deep Earth: A Subterranean Galapagos Expands The Tree Of Life (20190203)
An amazing description of life existing in places where I would not have thought possible. The resiliency of life astounds me such that I imagine that even if we destroy ourselves, life will persist. Who knows — maybe in another billion years archeologists will wonder who we were.

Everyone struggles with ghosts, usually the residue of our childhood or other significant emotional traumas. These are resolvable — if we will do the work. In my case, the ghost has been the disappointments wherein I have attempted to promote myself, either
In this post, I am going to outline briefly the skills necessary so as to live fully; subsequent post (chapters of the future book) will develop the nature of these skills and the means of acquiring them. Initially, the discussions will be
On my last post, I noted my intention to write a third book (beside my first two, see previous) entitled The Search To Be Fully Alive: The What and The How. This choice came about for two main reasons: I was seeking to
