Life as Work & Work as Life

Recently, my experiences at
a local public "party" (or was that a rave?)
convinced me that it's time for ...
some significant changes in my life
with regard to music, dancing & "parties";
in particular, I seem to be looking for
a type of party that doesn't really exist ... yet.

I want to explore those here ...
as I get time over the summer. (I'm super-busy now.)

Some points to be addressed:

• life, biology & the work to know
  what life is ... at multiple levels
• cells, organisms, ecosystems & Gaia
• evolution, what it is,
  & who cares
  
• rhythm, music & dancing
• parties & other social gatherings:
  why we produce & go to them
• passion, wildness & eros
  
• wild climates, past & future
• why I am not a member of the (at least that) cool kids crowd
  
• other stuff i haven't listed yet
  but is on my mind ...
  

Oh yeah: I may have some stuff for sale soon
because I feel a bout of nomadism coming on.
Feels like time to lighten the load.

Not that I'm "planning" to leave Eugene, at least permanently, but to maybe do some traveling, a speaker/workshop tour, camping in wild places ... in July & August, a slow time for classes at the academy anyway.

But I'd like to keep a campus open here if possible, active even in my absence, if this community will support it at increasing levels over the next few months (where "levels" encompasses both financial & other kinds of participation).

One thing's for sure: the future hasn't been written yet. We're making this up as we go.

We'll just have to see what happens next.
