Mountain Photos (and other)
I was looking through my photos on Flickr for a couple reasons, one of them to find ones of the Olympic Mountains as seen from Olympia. I want to find the names of the prominent peaks of the Olympic Mountains, as they can be seen from Olympia.
Here are a few of the photos I came across, some more recent, some less recent.

Bully Free Zone...
Some say labor unions act like a bully. Some say owners act like a bully. Some say the USA acts like a bully in the world.
What should be clear, is that bullying is wrong. Hopefully humanity is evolving toward the elimination of bullying.

Celebrating International Day of Peace
Here in Olympia, Washington, we had a festival to celebrate the International Day of Peace. It was sponsored by the Olympia Fellowship of Reconciliation. We set up a couple of tents and a path of peace. In the tents we had information, and we also listened to a singing bowl concert. The path of peace was constructed out of 12 pieces of bamboo poles ranging in length from about 7 feet to about 20 feet. We used twine to secure the poles, and to string up about a hundred or so pieces of cloth with "peace" written in as many different languages.
The idea with peace written in so many different languages is to suggest that we all have something in common. We may look different, or speak different languages, but we are all still part of one human family. On the most basic level, we are all one, interconnected beings. Interconnected energetically, spiritually. Our actions affect each other. And if we want a world that is peaceful for ourselves, and for our children, for our friends and family and neighbors, then it makes sense to be kind to everyone, regardless of whatever differences there might be between us.
After people had a chance to walk through the "Path of Peace", and listen to the concert of singing bowls, we were led on a meditative peace walk (in the style of Thich Nhat Han,) by Miles, who is a local Zen Buddhist Priest.
Here's a video and some photos from the event. Please enjoy. Thank you.

Moonrise with Smog
Smoke from a fireworks show combined with moisture on a warmish July night to form a cloud of smog, which drifted northward from Capitol Lake on Budd Inlet. In this photo, the rising Moon can be seen.

Scenic Beach State Park Panoramic Vista
I am back in Olympia after the weekend festivities at the Fellowship of Reconciliation Annual Northwest Conference at Seabeck.
[There are bombs bursting in air as I type this. (I wish people wouldn't celebrate war...)]
The weekend was busy, and my head is full of ideas, and my heart is full of feeling. Lots of introspective processing, and also processing about the ways of the world. Thoughts about Ayn Rand and socio-pathic corporations v. "parasitic human-beings"... Thoughts about changing the world, and visions of an economic that is not predatory... Feelings about where I am at in life, what I am doing, who I am... Lots and lots!
The people at Seabeck were great. I wish I only had time and energy to really get to know everyone there!
Many stories to tell. And some great jokes!
Here's a photo from early Monday morning, the 4th of July. This is from Scenic Beach State Park, which is about 2 miles from the Seabeck Conference Center.

Photos from Seabeck 2011
Saturday 2 July 2011, Seabeck
This is the view from near Big Beef Creek. The waterway is the Hood Canal. The mountains are the Olympics. On the right hand side of the image are some of the docks for the Naval Base Kitsap Bangor Submarine Nuclear Weapons facility.
I am in Seabeck for the Fellowship of Reconciliation Annual Northwest Regional Conference. The theme of this year's conference is fair and sustainable economics. More information here: www.wwfor.org/

Big Person, or Small Shopping Cart? Or Both?
Getting too big! haha—Gosh, capitalism sure can get ugly!
Big Humanity? Or Small Planet? Or Both?
What happens when the planet can no longer sustain human societies?
Do people suffer? If so, is it necessary?
