On Thoreau and Simplicity.
06-Nov-11Edward Abbey’s Desert Solitaire.
06-Nov-11purchase gabapentin online I spent a few evenings in the past week reading Desert Solitaire, which I did with pleasure. The book is hardly perfect but then again, neither are we. A popular book such as this must be flawed. It does not have the polish of a book like Walden and will not last as long, but […]
“However destructive may be the policies of the government and the methods and products of the corporations, the root of the problem is always to be found in private life. We must learn to see that every problem that concerns us as conservationists always leads straight to the question of how we live. The world […]
I am continually impressed by Goethe’s genius – his capacity to productively see. “Beauty is perfection in combination with freedom” is put as no one else can put it, and the more you think about what keeps things and people which are formally perfect from possessing the elevating radiance which distinguishes true beauty, the more […]
“Church as Permaculture.”
23-May-11Richard Rohr, a Franciscan true to the name, has been writing recently on “Church as Permaculture”: Mere beliefs do not necessarily change the way we live in this world. What we have been calling “Emerging” Christianity or “Lifestyle Christianity” involves a real movement toward simplicity—at all levels. A return to a simple lifestyle is the […]
Saint Francis, Nature, and Poverty.
23-May-11I have been reading Thomas of Celano’s two lives of Saint Francis, with all the complicated pleasure of advancing age. In 1973 the Franciscan Herald Press put out a lovely edition of the early writings about Francis, Saint Francis of Assisi: Omnibus of Sources, a beautifully executed book, hardbound, with maps of Italy and Assisi, […]
Dreams.
10-Apr-11One of the consistently impressive things about life in the woods is the enlarged importance of dreams: if you keep to the natural cycle of light and dark you will sleep more, and arise naturally: and these two things are probably enough to ensure that your mind will get some harvest from its natural crop […]
Into Eternity.
18-Feb-11I saw the well-reviewed documentary “Into Eternity” last week, and was not too impressed, though I don’t quite regret the two hours. There has to be some excuse for making a movie out of what might be a thousand-word essay; and “Into Eternity” does not offer that kind of visual or experiential payoff. The facility […]
Michael Pollan Meets Tea Party.
03-Feb-11A nice task for the Republican Congress looking to cut waste. Mark Bittman says overhaul our agricultural subsidy system: End government subsidies to processed food. We grow more corn for livestock and cars than for humans, and it’s subsidized by more than $3 billion annually; most of it is processed beyond recognition. The story is […]
Saint Charles Gray of Eugene.
31-Oct-11One of my all-time favorite people and one of the people whose example I continually return to in my thoughts – a saint indeed. He came up in a conversation with a friend about Occupy Wall Street, so I post this fine little obituary. I thought I had posted it before at some point, but […]
