Wandering damage.................

 The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone.

Live it into reality..........................

For thousands of years, to be outside the dominant cultural story spelled death.  To be outside the band of hunter-gatherers meant you had been shunned by the village.  Deep inside, we want to belong.  This remains true today, but maybe for the first time in human history, modern society—the dominant culture—has become the thing that isolates us.  If you could track your way out of the burdens of modern life and create and existence that is much more an expression of who you are, then your own life could become a living mythology.  One that could inspire others.
     Inside of me I hear the wild self whisper, Live it into reality.

Seeking unity..............................

"My biggest problem with modernity may lie in the growing separation of the ethical and the legal."

A problem with statistics..............

"Therefore, it could look like the economy is stagnating and experiencing very low rates of growth using GDP as the measure of economic performance, even though our standard of living could be improving significantly."
-Mark J. Perry, as excerpted from this post highlighting the almost freeness of music these days.  His message is hard to ignore when you consider we all walk around with an awful lot of computing power in our pockets.

Stuff you never think about...............

More and more people are choosing to live in very large apartment complexes.  More and more people are shopping on-line with FedEx or UPS delivering packages.  The question arises, who is responsible for the receipt of, and security of,  the package?   Back story here.
