"Bryan,
I'd like to know the context of Thich Nhat Hanh's statement. Is it in a book?"
Welcome to the conversation humanity needs to have.
This is a conversation about what we can learn from the basic pattern of all living systems. It seems that this pattern offers important clues about the future of humanity.
Start with the slideshow to the right to get the context for the conversation.
And then jump into whichever topic you're most passionate about.
Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or offers of help! :-)
May the conversation be full of life.

Let's give reverence to the soil!"
David Eggleton replied to Bryan Hugill's discussion Thrivability in the 21st century and beyond?"I did mean that, Michelle. So much soil has been allowed to wash or blow away. So much soil is contaminated. So much soil is depleted and near if not lifeless. So much ground is covered with pavement and buildings.…"

Bryan Hugill replied to Bryan Hugill's discussion Thrivability in the 21st century and beyond?"I think I need to amend my statement. I think the last 10,000 years will be known as the "Age of War and Secrets" and/or the Age of Aggression".

But I have been busy assembling my own blog sites, which are not for discussion so much as venues for sharing my thoughts, perceptions and ideas freely with those who find themselves drawn.
