Academia is broke. It might have once had an element of curiosity, but at it's core, it's about domestication. It's about raising your hand to go to the bathroom, or speak. It's about looking up to a clown who dances, and aspiring to one day be able to have that role.

I really appreciate seeing the core elements of my work of bioregional herbalism reflected in this article! becoming present in Nature, authentic expression, experiential learning, recalibrating to the heart mind awareness - this is where it's at!

So... this man on the staircase-image you used reminded me of Hughes Mearns' poem 'Antigonish':

“Yesterday upon the stair

I met a man who wasn’t there

He wasn’t there again today

Oh, how I wish he’d go away

When I came home last night at three

The man was waiting there for me

But when I looked around the hall

I couldn’t see him there at all!

Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!

Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door

Last night I saw upon the stair

A little man who wasn’t there

He wasn’t there again today

Oh, how I wish he’d go away"

Please carry on being the wonderful peasant you are, using language the way you do and keep avoiding all efforts to derail you.

Wonderful stuff Tessa. Much gratitude as always. It's alot about science, this calculating instead of being, this testing and pointing and describing comes from science. If the basic element of a belief system is that the universe is made from bits of stuff, then you're going to want to measure them. On the other hand if you see the universe as an unfolding, evolving consciousness, you're more likely to want to experience it, to dance with it and to sing its songs.

Great piece, Tessa. Far too much snip-snipping going on, figuratively and literally. As a man, I think, POOR MEN who have willingly given themselves to castration in this pay-to-play theater of the absurd. And then I think... poor women.

Unlearn and rewild !!!

Thank you Tessa ! You are smart and loving and inspiring at the same time, writing these type of things.

We all need women like you, like a force of Nature!

The stronger the grip, the stronger I feel.

And you are really part of that enforcement. Its good not being alone, despite I’m in Brasil and you far away from here … wish someone write these things in portuguese!

All the best for you and keep going!!!!

Beautiful Tessa, you're speaking my language. I'm so glad you still have your balls, and I have mine. The only thing I have for the tiny man with scissors is laughter.

Indeed, it is the willful separation from nature, from the manifestation of divine intelligence, that's at the root of the pervasive human madness we're witnessing. Holding in truth and consciousness may be a lonely job, but someone's gotta do it.

Still seeking "reality". It's not as easy as I thought.

I don't need to take the stairs this-life-around...

On another blog I commented about a vision I had of evil being unleashed when Barry was first elected. Someone commented in agreement. I followed the bread crumbs and ended up here. As I read this my mind went off and I just cried. And I'm a full grown man. Don't stop sharing your message.
