Green Party involvement is a natural step in my evolution. I am not going into the twists and turns of my life, just the following. Concerns started in high school about development destroying the natural environmental habitats for, the sorts of life relationships beyond, humanity. I continued trying to make sense, understand socio-economic political movements of different people's struggles parallel with my own practice. While in my college years, I got clearer; it seemed that the totality of our mass behavior as a society was to be against ourselves environmentally. This was orchestrated by commercial interests. My lifetime involvement with developing relational cohousing or intentional communities is my way to express my quest to define/refine community and encompass my concerns for sustainable local economics. We need recovery, intergrating the spiritual ethics of environmental quality this is not new. These ethics I would begin defining, as people's personal practice of transcending to that higher human perception of reverence, mutual respect and love,and that is a healthy way to be. So let us garden these and other values, for the purpose of understanding the deeper co-creations with the natural systems and the diversity of people on planet earth. I know we are capable of this. It is our responsibility to understand begin a practice of transcending into higher relational concerns of place. Currently, we still have our old behaviors of a domination/destruction model, this stemming from our arrogance.
