They are all asking for more, both celebrations, togetherness, and generally things to keep us connecting with one another and the community around us. Thanks again for posting this, I hope to hear more of your experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116611405246648803.post-8617133384502473952011-07-25T15:48:18.115-07:002011-07-25T15:48:18.115-07:00(Sorry I made a big typo, had to edit. :)

It can get me to the point where I'm fretting about the problems of the world. It's a sensitivity. <br /><br />Your words and the comments by Daniel remind me that we can achieve this connection through the acts that bring us into cyclical harmony with the natural world. Gardening is a good one. I mean I live in a loft in Downtown Los Angeles, but I still have my herbs and plants. With the herbs I have seed to harvest. I must honor the seasons (as light as we have them here), work with the plants, learn to communicate with it. <br /><br />Ritually I think I'd like to try a lunar cycle of meditation. We're heading towards the new moon! Good time to start. :)Lifencompass Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769319848180866435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116611405246648803.post-66025305603515269302011-07-25T15:47:02.472-07:002011-07-25T15:47:02.472-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lifencompass Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769319848180866435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116611405246648803.post-40638625147200791712011-07-25T06:21:10.164-07:002011-07-25T06:21:10.164-07:00Hey thanks for your viewpoint!

I agree, regrounding is totally necessary, and it has to be coupled with evolution as a spiritual tradition.Wesley Clark Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528058626029110940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116611405246648803.post-55606855034878124352011-07-25T05:19:57.758-07:002011-07-25T05:19:57.758-07:00To quote your article (my favorite portion thereof...To quote your article (my favorite portion thereof): "To address the deeper hunger for meaning within this apparently chaotic universe, back-to-the-land era practices have to be expanded and deepened. The self-exploratory work that begins in meditation has to become something more. In honoring the cosmos outside of ourselves, we should be reminded to give equal honor to the limitless cosmos within our own consciousness."Daniel Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478293981349765111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9116611405246648803.post-65622762985333987572011-07-25T05:17:05.439-07:002011-07-25T05:17:05.439-07:00As we progress further and further into the 2100s ...As we progress further and further into the 2100s CE, we ironically are going to be compelled to take ourselves back to the land in a more intense and serious way than we ever anticipated. Our survival now depends on our ability to ground ourselves in our ancient traditions and reclaim our elements of earth, fire, air and waterDaniel Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478293981349765111noreply@blogger.com
