Dave Pollard's environmental philosophy.

	June 10, 2008

Dave's Dream "What have we to do but stand with empty hands and palms turned upwards in an age that advances progressively backwards?" -- TS Eliot I dreamed that I lived in a place where an abundant variety of delicious foods grew naturally, and needed only to be gathered. I dreamed that I lived in a place where it was never so cold as to require a fire or heating, and never so hot as to require 'air conditioning'. I dreamed that I lived in a place that was lush and green and wet, where I could just nestle in the trees, comfortably, to chat with the lovely people and other creatures around me, or to sleep. There was no need to construct elaborate or permanent shelter. I dreamed that I lived in a place where clothes were unnecessary, and ridiculous. I dreamed that I lived in a place where most of our time was spent in play, laughing, moving, splashing, grooming each other, and in conversation, reflection and exploration, doing precisely and only what we wanted to do. I dreamed that I lived in a place where I loved all the people and creatures around me, in our gravitational community, and wanted nothing and needed nothing, not even love in return. I dreamed that I lived in a place where there was nothing that I had to do and nowhere I had to go. I dreamed that I lived in a place where there was no government, no hierarchy, no property, no currency, no weaponry, and no secrets, because there was no need or desire for any of these things. I dreamed that I lived in a place where I could live, always, in the moment, in Now Time, attentive, aware, appreciative, astonished, connected with all-life-on-Earth. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. -- Thoreau (delightful bird photo from Kevin Cameron at Bastish) Category: Intentional Community 1:24:09 PM  trackback []  comment []
