I want to wish you all a good holiday season, and most importantly, a
new year with more peace and love. My wife and I moved from Princeton
Ithaca NY, and live now in a small intentional community called White
Hawk Ecovillage. We are surrounded by people who are choosing to be good
neighbors to each other, as well as to the larger surround. It is a good
place to be, as I hope your home also is. We are, as the Greeks said,
two backed beasts -- we thrive when we live together with others, and
share the desire for real community.
Sometimes I think that recognition of global harmony is growing faster
because I hear from so many people about individual and group efforts to
increase understanding, and I hear so many speaking of compassion. We
are such remarkably capable beings, and so smart, we should easily see
that we are all parts of a whole that could be the shepherd and guardian
of all that happens on our beautiful planet. Sometimes I believe we are
on the verge of choosing conscious evolution. And though the evidence is
that we're still choosing a lesser path, my optimism thrives even though
there are many tragic decisions and pressures keeping us from full
humanity. May the trend go toward the brighter future we envision when
we are most aware.
I am still running the original GCP Egg network, while helping build GCP
2.0 to carry on the quarter century of work and extend it. I plan to
keep the original network running for some time to provide a parallel
data set. If you want to host a new GCP 2.0 node, let me know.
Happy New Year, with love,
Roger
