The Spirit of Gift

How beautiful can life be? We hardly dare imagine it.

- Charles Eisenstein -

The Spirit of Gift

A gift. It is a simple gesture of care. Like an open palm, it is an invitation to connect ... But can it be more than that? Can gifts restructure our monetary system? In a recent interview, teacher and writer Charles Eisenstein shared insights from his own journey with a gift-economy. His unique journey includes the raising of three kids, the writing of three books, going broke, facing his fears around money, and learning the gifts of receiving. { read more }

Global Warming: A Case for Inner Change

There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.

- Brooke Medicine Eagle -

Global Warming: A Case for Inner Change

"Alarming data and warnings about climate change have been with us for twenty years. The issue has morphed into something like a low-level toothache. [...] If human nature is to evolve, a new set of assumptions would look something like the following: Human life isn't set apart from life on earth. We must live in balance with Nature. Consumerism isn't unlimited and doesn't lead to happiness. Toxic pollution harms life and cannot be justified. As a conscious species, humans must be stewards of the ecology. None of these are surprising ideas; they are common coin in the environmental movement. But to make them viable on a mass scale, the tide must turn. Will that happen? No one can tell, but it's important to see that the world "out there" has no chance of changing until there's real transformation 'in here.'" Deepak Chopra shares further. { read more }

The Man Who Planted A Forest

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

- Robert Louis Stevenson -

The Man Who Planted A Forest

The year was 1979 in Assam, India. Floods had washed a great number of snakes onto a barren sandbar. When Jadav "Molai" Payeng -- then only 16 -- found them, they had all died. "The snakes died in the heat, without any tree cover. I sat down and wept over their lifeless forms." Then he dried his tears and asked forest officials if they could plant trees in that area. When they told him nothing would grow there Payeng quietly began to plant seeds anyway. Thirty years later the 1,360 acre forest he created on the land where "nothing would grow" is home to birds, deer, apes, elephants and even tigers. { read more }

Plant a small seed of goodness today.

The Measure of Meaning: Visiting Wendell Berry

It may be that when we no longer know which way to go that we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings

- Wendell Berry -

The Measure of Meaning: Visiting Wendell Berry

"One of my favorite moments was when Wendell said that he is a member of two organizations: 1) The Slow Communication Movement and 2) The Preservation of Tangibility. He noted that anyone can join these and added with a grin, 'Actually, I think I founded them.'" In this beguiling article, a young singer-songwriter, describes the pilgrimage she took with three friends and a baby to visit Wendell Berry, the famed farmer, writer and preservationist from Kentucky. { read more }

Be The Change

Do something away from your computer screen in the spirit of 'slow communication' or 'preserving tangibility' today.
