"We are in trouble because we do not have a good story.
We are in between stories.
The Old Story - the account of how the world came to be and we fit into it - is not functioning properly and we have not learned the New Story."

Love and blessings to Joanna and all who cared deeply for her. 🙏🏼💚🌿
BREAKING;
Thinking of Joanna Macy...
Joanna, who was my teacher, has just died, at 96.
The last time I spent with her was at her house several years ago.
It was one of the most amazing evenings of my life.
It’s hard to describe; it was if as if Joanna had a halo about her.

A concept like panpsychism makes more sense when we stop measuring our more-than-human kin against ourselves...
Are dogs conscious, with thoughts and feelings of their own? What about pigeons or earthworms? There is mounting evidence that even surprisingly simple animals, like invertebrates, have a level of consciousness - but not in the way you might think.
