Addendum to my previous post about my seeking a “next interim step”: a place to hang my hat and/or “lay my head” as I continue the much elongated interim journey to my “low-to-no-carbon-footprint” lifestyle. the 15 months (the last of which is this one, March 2021) . I have been an “1801 resident” have been a much needed “cushion” for Continue Reading
My good friend Larry Bourgeois created a Facebook “ask for recommendations” page a couple days ago, and I posted this under it a few minutes ago: Thank you Larry, for this initiative in “sounding the call” to fill this “niche” in my ongoing journey’s transitional time. I will make one small correction/clarification: it wouldn’t need to be more than 1 Continue Reading
This past Sunday night, I was asked in a Zoom Meeting of a Church Community I have been attending, since soon after the pandemic began, if I might provide some reflection on the Ecological angles for Lent. As that meeting had been taking place, and the group leader/facilitator Joe Webb was asking participants about how they might contribute (as he Continue Reading

It doesn’t take an expert to know that this demonic man is the last thing we need to get our collective act together. His lack of leadership and modeling of abject selfishness is literally a deadly example.
News agencies are reporting the worst week yet for the rise in cases of Covid-19. All our institutions and organizations: faith, education, government, media…..how are they so woefully absent and , as a result, complicit in this mass denial of what is happening?
