Hello, folks. Kaleigh and I are back from camping with 200 Quakers. We enjoyed ourselves and it was OK, my being back in the company of cap-F Friends for the first time since like 1990 or something (except for a few weddings and funerals).
In my In Search of Simplicity workshop handouts, I listed this blog, so (I hope) a few new readers may come browsing by. Probably, everyone getting home from QuakeCon ("Illinois Yearly Meeting") will need some time to rest, reflect, and recharge, before diving back into everything we experienced and discussed in the past several days. But if/when you click by here, greetings and welcome!
Dear friends and Friends, I normally would prefer to actually write something to post here, but I gotta share this link. One of my favorite bloggers, Ran Prieur, points to this long article that I haven't actually read just yet (but I printed it out). I did scroll down and read all the powerpoint slides in the article, and I loved it so much I had to share. The title sounds intimidating: Definancialisation, Deglobalisation, Relocalisation, but just reading the powerpoints was so fun and insightful that I encourage all y'all to at least do that. It's shifting my paradigm--good thing I'm well lubricated!
peace, and may the Lord bless us and awaken us,
Don

I second the recommendation. I have read the whole thing and there is much to ponder. It's a presentation given by Dimitry Orlov
I stayed up late last night reading it (12 pp.) and chuckling. Definitely a must-read. It relates a lot to our "beyond sustainability" conversations we've been having lately.
If I understand correctly, Orlov studied the breakup of the Soviet Union and, if such a thing can be, is sort of an expert on collapsing societies.
