There was once a frog who lived in a well. A happy frog, grateful for the satisfying & spacious well it lived in. One day a turtle who lived by the sea passed by the well and told the frog who lived in the well of the ocean's wonders. At first the frog who lived in the well couldn't believe such a thing could exist. How could there possibly anything more marvelous than the well? But moved by curiosity, it agreed to visit the sea. And so it did. And it was awestruck by the magnaminity o...

Sarasota, FL 1995- Can you feel your ribs squeezed in by rigid structure, do you curl up and pretend its not there and get round and flat and tired and gray and realize you are losing your soul to these rules that you never said you agreed to but followed anyway for lack of any other role models or visions? Never again. If you can’t remember the colors, remember the smells, the sounds, the tactile sensation of a warm sunshiny d... read more

I am one face of the many colored soul that is humanity, a daughter of Israel, in the particular spectrum of reality that is my unique, God-given existence. A woman who maintains a strong faith in the nearly unlimited potential of the Godly human soul. A mystic, a healer, a creator, a builder. A lover of life, passionate and driven, and generally happy and inspired. A knower of souls, intuitive and communicative. A woman equally at home in the cosmos, in the spirit, as on Earth... read more

As woman, the ultimate Earthly divine pro-creative matrix, art is my nature. It is my calling to attempt to articulate clearly and beautifully, universal existential truths. My particular bias is Jewish, Earth-based, womanist spirituality. Throughout the creative process, I direct my intentions towards healing the painful breach of soul and body by encouraging a profound appreciation of all that is Godly on earth; the nomadic artistry of the river, the strength and integrity of the trees, t...

Unity The concept of a social web or community is as core to the human sustainability model as it is to the rest of nature. This model speaks of a return to "organic" society; one in which "Community [is] united by kinship and common interests" rather than the "flatulent consumerism that pacifies but never satisfies" (55, 12). When we reclaim natural cycles in community, we automatically weave a rich, ritual fabric ... read more

The Cult of Nature As research suggests, privacy is essentially synonomous with autonomy (Laufer in 48). For this reason, it is critical that we design our cities to emphasize privacy as well as conviviality (2). Urbanites simply must have places to seek haven from the overstimulating ambient environment. Nature, as an atmosphere of few distractions that allows for "soft" concentration and processing time, is suited perfectly to this niche (19). Pla... read more

After revitalizing the soil, we should initiate the growth cycle with weeds and fast-growing, short-lived perennials. We should then gradually over-shadow the pioneers with slower-growing, longer-lived competitors. Only then can a natural system establish a climax community in which "species that occupy complementary niches can compensate for the losses of their neighbors" (75). This final stage of ecosystem maturity is desirable because of its structural stability an... read more
