 by Tanya Denckla. An organic garden is not a machine. It is a living system of balanced forces between, for example, predator and prey, and these forces are always in flux. Soil composition, air quality, water, birds, bugs, weeds -- these are just a few of the forces that determine the nature and health of your garden. Your role as garden steward is to encourage the balance in your favor, not to take over nature's role in the name of achieving the goal of perfection.

 by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I've written a book about Bush's environmental record, but it's not so much about the environment as it is about an excess of corporate power and the corrosive impact of that on our democracy. And it's not about a Democrat attacking a Republican. I've been disciplined for 20 years as an environmental advocate about being non-partisan and bi-partisan in my approach to these issues. I don't think there's any such thing as Republican children or Democratic children. But you can't talk honestly about the environment today in any context without speaking critically about this president. This is the worst environmental president we've had in American history. |

 by Bill Douglas. The levels of consciousness...we are now going through as a nation. The first is a shocked numbness, the next rage and anger, and this followed by a great sorrow that seems so unbearable that sometimes people stay locked in the rage/anger stage in order to avoid the sorrow that seems so desolate and overwhelming. |

 by Debbie Milam. Each and every moment we are given the wonderful gift of free will to make choices. These choices can be as simple as choosing what to wear or what to eat. Personal choices rarely affect another person. Then there are intrapersonal choices, decisions that affect another person. These decisions not only have a profound effect on the other person they also deeply shape the person you are. Finally, there are choices that affect our planet. Choices like making wise environmental decisions. Choices like electing world leaders. These choices have long term ramifications and can shape our global experience. |

 by Margo Adair. In the U.S., we are conditioned to believe we are separate and fully independent from one another. Many of us do not experience ourselves embedded in a larger community ? instead, we feel we have to fend for ourselves. When we have problems we take the dualistic point of view and affix blame. Whether we blame ourselves or others, we have objectified and separated everything, thwarting our ability to see the full picture. |

by Tzvi Freeman. The greatest discovery of the millennium happened near its very end. It was the discovery -- when we looked back from outer space -- of Planet Earth. A shining jewel in the vast darkness. It was then that we realized everything our spirits ever wanted was here. That we need her and she needs us. Our destiny is hers and hers is ours. For we are one.

by Caroline Myss, Ph.D. So many people in the midst of a process of healing have redefined their lives around their wounds and the process of accepting them. They are not working to get beyond their wounds. In fact, they are stuck in their wounds. |

Even if Y2K poses no threat whatsoever, the current discussions about it can be viewed as a help, if we see this potential difficulty as a warning or 'red flag,' alerting us to concerns on another level. |
