Th...nina, <BR/><BR/>There are efforts going on here in town. The Hour Trader, Coho intentional community. I agree, we should be moving in these directions, creating real alternatives is certainly a challenge.<BR/><BR/>I know all about burn out. I just recognize it as a wave, a cyclical pattern and recognize it when it happens. Even now, I'm pretty depressed. I've been reading some of Steve Pavlina and a Buddhist book on Vipassana meditation. Pavlina is interesting, you might be interested in his recognition of psychic phenomena.<BR/><BR/>Spiritbear, we needed you at the forum the last couple weeks. Many of the Christian kids who have some kind of dance project were stopping by the forum. I really wished you were there.tknhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428636085182583970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20498485.post-825900808406911812007-10-17T20:19:00.000-07:002007-10-17T20:19:00.000-07:00Its fucking bullshit alright.
