Julian Rose, on those who ignore Nature to focus on Spirit: “We are ‘of nature’ not above or outside. We go forth and we return. That is the Tao. There is no contradiction.”

“Outward action and inward contemplation are two halves of one whole. They are synonymous. One should move between the two constantly and joyously.” Furthermore, “Forget about Divine intervention.

Viva DIY Cuba! “As the crisis became more severe, people’s creativity grew more powerful. . .”

Extremely good news! Tiny Home Village gets grounded in Austin.

This is the vision of village life that I have held ever since living in a yurt village in the Tetons for over a dozen years back in the late ’80s through 2002. In other words, let’s not just see this “Community First” village as a “first step out of homelessness,” but as a viable […]
