The END of the old ECOLOGY?

Some americans stay "positive" face to the terrible ecological situation of the USA today. Michael Shellenberger proposes a new ecological posture for our american friends : thebreakthrough.org . Or you can go directly to his interview for my favourite magazine (the Sun Magazine), where he explains his view :

Kangaroos for Self...

i avoid to focalise
into this silence
my solitary kangaroos are having a party
silence is hardly accessible...
one once said : be still and know
unstill : unknowing?
i promise to this self of "mine"
to be still right before sleep
planning to modify the dreamness of the bedroom
i might access the matrix of this bizare self
the kangaroos might move away
even the chapters of faintless melancholy?
my utilitarian awareness might experience bliss
i might transform to something not yet imagined
i might even laugh three times before sunrise...
O.K?

science + poetry?

Excerpt of Mae-Wan Ho's "the Rainbow and the WormScience" :
: "Science is to initiate us fully into the poetry that is the soul of nature, the poetry that is ultimately always beyond what theories or words say."
Science is "...an adventure of the free, inquiring spirit...the enigmas, the mysteries and paradoxes that take hold of the imagination, leading it on the most exquisite dance."

άπνοια.....

well yes, it's time to dive into a new breathing behaviour...Me and my friends at xsoma are cooking some new dance questions : how much silence can you fit between your breaths? How slow can you move so that the...matrix will not perceive you? ;-) How do you step on a curious concept like the "time" without falling into conventional timings? (Doug has some advice about that...) More info at www.xsoma.net

Self and the Other

Consuming relationships...Changing partners...Having too much choise...Giving up constantly...The self searches the other in "new" contexts. The Self searches the self by redefining togethernes : dependance, interdependance, love...My favourite subject!
I'm coming closer to an "old" realisation : that love is independant of its object...
I have loved with "return", without "return", I have wished to be loved, I wanted to "force" my love on to somebody, etc...All that without "knowing" what "love" is...
I have a growing intuition that love arises by our state of awareness.
Sometimes in certain states of awareness I see no difference between my understanding of "love" and my understanding of "awareness"!
This redefines in a way my relation to the "Other".
I don't have to be "in love" to "love"...
I just need to cultivate the durations of my "love states" and "my partner" will bathe with me in that "state of love"!It liberates from the question of endless choise : choise has an end when I commit, and my "love states" will be more or less difficult to experience with my last choise of partner, but it remains possible.Sex is the little "random attractor" that fortifies (exhibits?) the experience of love. We are alone with our growing(?) capacity to love.
We are ultimately "alone" with that savage vitality idetified with the body and its capacity to love...Only thinking about that makes me "happy"! I do not pretend this to be an ultimate truth though!
It is becoming my favourite thought lately...That's all ;-)
