I just want what Buddha had I just want to do what Buddha did I’m [...] Me: I was curious about where our conversation ended during our last talk. I mentioned that I was aware of a lot of talk of cyborgs, human machine hybrids, but no talk of bio-borgs hybrids of animals and plants for instance. I did a little reading via the web to refresh my recollection about what [...] Me: When we left off our last conversation we had been talking about thinking long ideas and I mentioned I had been thinking of what humans would become if we succeeded in living with power and not destroying our planet at the same time. I think I am ready to talk more about this and [...] Tree: Lets talk about a new Genesis. I have much longer thoughts than humans but it seems that you have learned a lot about my world and how far back trees go. I want you to try to make a new Genesis story out of that. Me: OK I’ll give it a try. The old pattern [...] So far, engaging in this dialog with a suburban tree I have learned that my relationship to nature is changing through giving voice to an individual tree and engaging in a subjective dialog with my representation of the tree’s perspective in relation to me. This dialog has pointed me in several directions that have helped [...] I have had trouble writing down my discussions with my favorite tree and getting it into my published dialog. As I have been running I imagine this tree and begin a dialog. When I get to the tree and stop my dialog usually intensifies and I have had a variety of insights [...] I have been running the same trail for several years.

Finding a new way to live in our world as a conscious [...] I want to Eat like I’m part of the Planet Drink like I’m part of the Planet Feel like I’m part of the Planet Touch like I’m part of the Planet Think like I’m part of the Planet We have to manage the Baboon level of our society in a way that decreases the effectiveness of violence as a tool for achieving social rank and control. Male baboons use violence to establish rank within the male hierarchy of their baboon troop. The highest ranking male then gets breeding rights with any female he [...] In a recent interview with Steve Inskeep of NPR, Michale Griffen (NASA Administrator) is quoted as saying; I have no doubt that global — that a trend of global warming exists. I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with. To assume that it is a [...] I visited the Lafayette Crosses, a memorial to U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, a few days ago and took some pictures.
