Hi, folks. Great series we’re in. Thank you to all organizers and participants!
Having lived for decades with the nomadic and “spiritually homeless” sensibility some of us from the Sixties generation inherited, I have a somewhat different take on location, place, land, etc. Here’s an article I wrote on “place” for a Buddhist journal twenty years ago. It’s still pretty much my outlook today, though I have now happily returned to live in my “navel of the earth” (Cascadia–Vancouver to Bay Area, then down to Big Sur).
But note, I do reference positively Native perspectives on place and that of poet, essayist and deep ecologist, Gary Snyder. Views very much in the spirit of Caring for All Creation.
Be well,
Tim

I’m so excited to read your paper! I am also a nomadic type and have been struggling more deeply with this as I have been participating in Spirit of the Land and now Caring for Creation. I look forward to your perspective.
Very much touched by your reflections of those days,still relevant today.
Thank you.Lennor
Tim – so many words, images, ideas here resonate with me. Indeed, your reflections still sing today. May I include your article as one of the readings for our final theme?
Peace,
Carmelle
