Writings: Facing the collapse, consciously
Carolyn Baker writes (in these remarks of hers, shared by Andrew Harvey): The innumerable losses of industrial civilization’s collapse will, over time, bring forth a new story and a new relationship with people, resources, things, and the earth.

Writings: Notes for traveling companions, with Ram Dass
The great fun of traveling is to see things differently, ’round the edges of our path, and sometimes to bring those differences into our own lives. Those changes may be welcomed by our companions, or questioned, or downright rejected. This leads to a new set of challenges, which offer a chance to see it all,…
