New cover, renewed spirit for Tales of the Whirling Rainbow

Dear Readers, I’m pleased to announce a facelift for an old book that is, I feel, acutely relevant to all that’s going on in the world. It’s the slimmest of volumes, but it still goes right to the heart of the matter. As of today the new cover and format edition is readily available as […]

Council Circles: a perennial way to mark Earth Day

By the authority vested in me (and everyone else) by virtue of being someone with something to say, I hereby declare 2022 to be The Year of Agroecology. I hope the other 7.8 billion human beings on the earth are listening—not to me necessarily, but rather to the swelling chorus of farmers and food workers […]

Light 2022: Notes of the Holy Ones

In this season so busy—things changing so fast—I happened upon this dark passage: the cautioning utterance of a spirit long departed: Everywhere the wasteland grows; woe to him whose wasteland is within.                 ~ Thus Spake Zarathustrua (Nietzsche) Stark words.

Farms and food riled by a host of factors and forces

Colossal forces—social, financial, technical, environmental, governmental, and climatological—are whirling emphatically this year, directly engaging, disengaging, and impacting our farms and food. Each human being on Earth has a stake in how it all settles out. It’s that basic. Among the forces: climate extremes, environmental breakdowns, food security threats, the Covid-19 pandemic, all accompanied by a […]

My Monumental Vision: The Sower and The Huskers

My wife Elizabeth and I are on our way out of Nebraska, work having summoned us once again to the southwest. In parting from this stalwart state, I want to share a vision. The Lincoln Journal-Star, the paper of record for the state’s capital city, recently published an article about the intention of some local […]
