Sometimes we need to step back and just make sure we're still awake to the world as it is.

Not fear, not fantasy, just meeting life in the moment.

This wonderful book has a LOT of words. I couldn't imagine my son sitting still all the way through, almost 20 minutes.

But I got to sit in the massage chair while he sat in my lap and I read him the whole book.

Even better?

We listened to Duke on the massage chair speakers while we read.

But the rules of our economies guarantee intense wealth concentration. They operationalize "greed is good" and then attempt to claw back cash after the fact.

Imagine instead that the operation of the economy itself drove wealth to the middle and prioritized healthy ecologies over profit motive.

There's still great courage and valor in our country.

The perfect day for a patriotic protest against tyranny in the center of Sonora, and a big exciting win for the San Francisco 49ers!

Can You Reclaim Your Mind? To feel mentally alive, you have to do more than defeat distraction.

"We all have our own stories of attentional woe. Suffice it to say that, like many people, I’ve been on what seems a years-long quest to establish a greater degree of mental sovereignty."

Devastating. The accelerating erosion of genuine knowledge and critical reflection.

We live in a crisis of the epistemic commons. Fewer and fewer people are able to grasp what is true or real.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Alison Bing has more talents than I can count.

One of these is bartending. This cocktail contribution is "The Journalist," but here amended to "The Journalist on Assignment in Tuolumne County."

Reduced myself to 204 lbs. and feeling decidedly...lighter.

Hard to embrace the label, but I think I'm a revolutionary. And this is the revolution our moment requires.

Thank you for this gift to the world John Fullerton and to the luminaries who are part of our larger coherence around a civilization that regenerates and restores the web of life.

Our creek shared her roaring face today.

I can't believe we get to live here!

Polyglot nation. Hearing so many languages, like walking in a rainforest, revivifies the mind.

Early this morning we said goodbye to my sister and our mama-san. Goodbye Tigertail Lodge! Goodbye Coconut Grove!

Here to advise if you're the winning bid. I see agroforestry and greenhouse gardens for year round fresh produce, a deeply caring chef and actual catalytic programming that's not just there to comfort the most powerful.
