This is a space to stand on a soap box and shout, rant, vent, praise, preach whatever verb of your choice about your thoughts and feelings on changing the world, the world changing you, us and everything. Subject can be specific- the insurance industry. It can be complex-how do we bring action to metaphysical ideas. It can be personal- i just lost my job;But, 2 rules:1. Post has to come from a first person I perspective and can not be a personal attack on any members. And 2. The post can only be a short paragraph and only one post per person a day. Let’s here what we are all thinking and feeling about collapse, regeneration, food, war etc.
It’s a glorious day here in the Pacific Northwest on the Olympic Penisula in Cascadia on planet Earth. I look out at the Salish Sea. Yesterday we saw Orcas. I am reminded of the ridiculousness of false country borders. There is a line in the middle of the Sea that designates one country, Canada, and the other country United States. What an absurd way to run the world- false boundaries and separate ideas. Whales don’t carry passports.

My toilet fill valve has stopped working 
I have to decide if I call in a plumber or go the DIY route, order in replacement parts and tackle the job myself. I have done that in the past, usually successfully, with a few caveats - it never quite works like it did before. I guess my toilets are old, they keep breaking down. So maybe it’s time to do a bigger job and pay more.
A bit like the problems we are having with the planet, don’t you think? Do it Yourself or aim for a complete overhaul?

Sexy
Today I was contemplating what is sexy? Sexy is more than attractive. It is an essence of seduction an energy of wanting a force that causes a reaction to others. Sexy doesn’t always mean sex in the 2 people merging bodies way. Sexy can be the dove in a limb of a green tree on a cliff over the sea as the sky changes colors at sunset. That kind of sexy is alluring. I can’t look away. I feel connected to the landscape and my belly and heart are warm as my mind sees with no words.

You can’t drag people along who won’t come with you voluntarily to change the world…
If someone is resistant to changing their mindset, they can’t possibly be that effective at changing their circumstances (or the world beyond them, for that matter)…
Some reflections today!
(Love the “release valve” of the short form of venting here… good idea, @ellenkdance !)

Started my second summer intensive class in Japanese. The amount of material to memorize is colossal. But at the same time, I don’t remember having this much fun in years. Plunging now into the world of kanji. A kanji test tomorrow (already - we just started on Tuesday!) It’s like surfing on learning, and language!

I’m feeling proud. I just received the table of contents of a postgraduate textbook on Transpersonal Education; and I wrote Chapter 9.

I woke up with dreams not of sugar plums dancing in my head, but of crafting compelling revenue strategy for Cosmos Co-op that will help translate our work from more than just a vague collectivist pipe dream (that I think most people see when they look at it from the outside) to a clear, visionary plan to build a deep community and buzzing cultural hub, with creator ownership at the center, that will transcend the status quo in bold strokes. I am eager to invest more energy into this domain this month, and roll out a BAD ASS pitch deck that is feasible plus extraordinary. I’m challenging myself to level up my craft as a narrative / pitch developer — it’s a kind of meta storytelling skill that I want to build. I need to throw myself at this this month and next… if we get there, it’ll be the means to us all actually GETTING … THERE!

I’ve found that leading with clarity has been an uphill climb in nearly every part of my life. My experience has been that when I’m direct, ask for clarity, or communicate with conviction, I’m often perceived as stubborn, inflexible, or rigid. I can’t help but notice that I’ve rarely seen those same qualities described that way when they come from men. I’m still wondering what it will take for clarity in women to be seen as strength rather than a flaw.

My friend is in labor almost 30 hours now. She is having a home free birth. I am asking the universe to keep mom and baby safe, comfortable and that all goes well with this new human being entering physical earth reality.

So many groups trying to change this paradigm. We need to work together and not fight for members. We are all members of humanity on planet earth. We need to think globally and act locally and dance in the middle with likeminded people.

In what we have started to call our Delany Research Group, we are breaking down the brain-novel boundary and exploring the embodiment of text in our lives. So refreshing!

It’s raining here in the northwest. The grass, the trees, the flowers and the veggies are soaking it in. I feel so blessed to receive this rain in July.
you are extremely lucky!!! The air particulate index in Chicago is 597-indicating extremely hazardous conditions and to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary to be outside
@Gennifrey_Edwards - I feel like we are in Bellona right now
