Oceanic Thoughts by Harman Harkema. We have gathered here at the Ocean to learn of special powers. The Atlantic Ocean is possibly the most powerful mystic place in the world. So we have come here to bathe ourselves in this mystic, Oceanic force. We play the drums on our boats and beaches, our bodies responding to the beat, the heat, in trance we dance, a heart in blossom, a kiss to the bosom of the Ocean. We can sail on this water, no house can be built here, no monument erected in memory, the experience must be as we grow, we live in the moment sensed in the heart. Sensing The Power. The wind roaring by our ears sets up primordial vibrations, we can taste the voice of the creator as his infinite wisdom merges with the sounds of the wind. The waves in ever different frequencies, cradle us in motion, we are here, subject to the power, the infinite power of the Atlantic.

by bobby jennings. The national discussion is getting a bit out of hand. Let's see. Republicans and the Bush administration are mostly tight-lipped. The loyal opposition return to their wimpishness at the slightest snarl of the attack dogs. So that leaves the national debate between the News Media and the American public -- and the public only has clout every two years. So here goes, let's call a spade a spade. Let's look for some "blame" for 9-11. |

by bobby jennings. Life is a series of crossroads and when wrong choices are made at these crossroads, at best we open ourselves to criticism and to doubts about our integrity. At worst, these choices remain to haunt us and they reappear time and again, sometimes in our own lives, and sometimes in the lives of those around us. This seems to be the situation with the cases of corporate fraud that are now coming out of hiding.

 Many women, since September 11, 2001, have wrestled within themselves about peace and war. Joining a chain of women stretching far back in time, they have asked, as they have asked for centuries, why humankind endlessly repeats the tragic cycle of violence and retribution. Once again, they have mourned lives needlessly sacrificed to bitter political and religious rivalries

 The very practices that bring us the goods and services we desire are destroying the earth. Given current corporate practices, not one wildlife reserve, wilderness, or indigenous culture will survive the global market economy. We are losing our forests, fisheries, coral reefs, topsoil, water, biodiversity, and climatic stability. The land, sea, and air have been functionally transformed from life-supporting systems into repositories for waste.

Much of our knowledge is based upon circular arguments: "our theory correctly explains the phenomenon, and the phenomenon occurs because our theory is correct". As history has demonstrated, mankind will blindly cling to a belief until the evidence against it becomes overwhelming.

 by Arne Naess. Building a Green party at the national level is occurring only in the relatively few "democratic" countries. It is necessary for Green politics to spread to other parts of the world. But the content of the various Green party programs will have to adapt to differing political and ecological situations and will inevitably show great differences.

 "Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too."

Asked how many people the Earth can sustain indefinitely, Harvard professor E. O. Wilson, certainly one of the world's great biologists, replied: "If they have the appetite for resources of Japan and the United States, 200 million." This was reported to me in Kyoto by Dr. David Suzuki, Canadian biologist and commentator. I'd never heard so low a figure, and finally got Professor Wilson on the telephone to check up. Had he said that? "No," he responded, "but it sounds reasonable."

 by Naomi Klein. When the White House decided it was time to address the rising tides of anti-Americanism around the world, it didn't look to a career diplomat for help. Instead, in keeping with the Bush administration's philosophy that anything the public sector can do the private sector can do better, it hired one of Madison Avenue's top brand managers.

 Recently I began to understand that unless we address the health of the earth, collectively and holistically, the symptoms of our own inner health will persist and will worsen. The health of the planet and our own inner health are one. Our harm of ourselves, our outer destruction and self-destruction, can be
viewed as a modern disease...
