HUMANITY'S RITE OF PASSAGE: A WORLD TENDED BY ADULTS, By Carolyn Baker

For one who has perception,

A mere sign is enough.

For one who does not heed,

A thousand explanations

Are not enough

Hajji Bektash Wali

13th Century Persian Mystic,

During the past twelve months, it has been reassuring to see vast numbers of individuals in the United States awaken to the reality that life on this planet has profoundly shifted and will never be the same. Many have radically altered their career goals, spending and saving patterns, and their long-term priorities. Whe… Continue

DISASTER: THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING--OR FINDING PARADISE IN HELL, By Carolyn Baker

The conundrum we call human nature readily rises to the occasion of a crisis and as readily slacks off when the living is easy. During its decade of prosperity based on precarious financial schemes, Iceland grew politically apathetic and a little dull and demoralized. When its mismanaged economy crashed spectacularly in October 2008, furious citizens took action and a vibrant civil society emerged; it was the best and worst of times as the country lost its economic wealth and social poverty.Continue

RR: I grew up in Los Angeles very close to LAX. I am an only child of middle class parents raised in other places, so I had very little family around me as a kid. Summers on Cape Cod with my mom's sister were my escape. My father, who gre… Continue

Hi Carolyn.

I suggest you create activity on http://transitionus.ning.com rather than creating a totally separate site. It's a tremendous task to start from scratch for such a narrow (but wonderful!) purpose. Let's talk further if you think otherwise.
