Friends,

In local communities across Canada this Saturday, May 10, folks of all ages and backgrounds will gather to affirm the good earth and the integrity of nature. And to work to find ways for us humans to be less destructive and more humble, respectful participants in the natural web of life. These gatherings are due to efforts of grassroots organizations across the country and local citizens.  Come to affirm, celebrate, and work for a better way to access/use energy and share life on this planet!

See website: www.defendourclimate.ca    Click onto “Find a rally” to locate an event in your community.  And get your butt out there! 🙂

Thanks, folks.

Tim

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.
