Hi, Desiree,

Count me in! We are on exactly the same wavelength here. As Norman Myers once put it (back in the 80s!) "We have only two choices: a Gaian future, or No future." Since then, as we all know already, our global civilization has chosen the latter. And it may be too late. But then, at a deeper, intuitive level of understanding, it is NEVER too late. If we assume nothing can be done, nothing WILL be done.

Gaia, our living planet, has terminal cancer, due to the incompatibility of a zero-sum, atomistic, endlessly expanding money-based economy on a positive-sum, interconnected, self-regenerating planet. While the essential production rule of "Glomart"==our money-based global market economy-- is "More is always better," the essential production rule of all biological systems and of Gaia herself is "Enough is Enough." The two systems are fundamentally incompatible.

Cancer has only two possible outcomes: systemic collapse (death) which is most likely, or spontaneous remission, which, though rare, has been attested in the medical literature, though nobody understands how or why it happens. So our challenge today--the challenge of all conscious Gaians--is to find our own best ways to become agents of the Spontaneous Remission of the Cancer of the Earth. Glomart is dying, even as we speak. Long live Gaia!
