Really this advice can apply to all dimensions of life. My favourite is in acknowledging the role of the artistic medium (eg, drumming, dancing, painting, speaking, writing…). This is a daunting choice for some, and we are often put in front of a “technique” at an early age so that we learn its methods. I have learned many methods, and often expend my limited time messing around with practising a technique. The important discrimination, though, is to feel in myself which medium resonates with the ache of my heart….where can I forget the technique and feel safe/open/unashamed to pour forth my soul’s song. The match between heart and medium is important for me. Steinbeck found it in the word…and the top quote by Emerson nails the point home:
Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book.
In other words, the person must be visible in expression through the medium….and that requires the person to be comfortable standing in primal nakedness there to tell a story of the heart. Only then is art art.
There’s No Tomorrow.
Fantastic and very approachable summary of the energy issue. Monumental effort. Great for sobering discussion amongst people af all persuasions (ie, not just for greenies!).

Honesty and refreshing thinking about the claims science can make as a decision support tool. This tension is related to money…commonwealth…and is familiar tradeoff btwn idealism and pragmatics.
Mainstream schooling is on the way out…no need to kick it too hard as the paradigm is collapsing anyway. But for many parents there is still enormous anxiety about the consequences of “free-range learning”. Savour this piece: beautifully written and full of blossoming.
The problem with polarised views is that they co-create each other. So there’s only two kinds of situations I’m concerned with: dualisms and non-dualisms. (oops)
It was eerie to stand by the river and think what these folks were going through in their fragile little ships so far from home. Made our humiliation at getting bogged the previous day a bit easier to bear.
Lovely bit of publicly accessible natural resource mapping from the Northern Territory, Australia
Quite an interesting burst of techno-pragmatism and passion related to privacy in the social age.
Erik Satie - Gymnopédie no. 1 piano tutorial. Great visualisation of the music…like a player piano schematic.
