Swords to Ploughshares, Bombs to Isotopes

Written 4 years ago by my former colleague in assistance to a proposal for a joint US Ukrainian nuclear lab. One of the aims, as you'll see was to promote cooperation between Ukraine and Western countries, for example a recent international conference in Kharkiv.

The following statement may be found on the P-CED… Continue

Sustainability now....

‎'Kicking so many cans down the road' and denying responsibility for our reckless overconsumption, relentless overproduction and rampant overpopulation activities today can fulfill nothing more than the promise of a disastrous future for children everywhere tomorrow. Choosing now to live outrageously greedy lifestyles that are patently unsustainable provides all the wrong lessons to our children, who must learn to live sustainably before it is too late for human behavior change to make a… Continue

social media and spying

On another site, I responded to a friend's blog post regarding social media with the comment below. After writing and reading my comment, I am decidedly concerned with my own growing sense of paranoia and obsession with things beyond my control. How can one be aware without becoming overly obsessed and overwhelmed?

What is beginning to concern me about social media more than loss of real face-to-face time is the ease of surveillance. Surveillance is taking on a far greater… Continue

Moral courage in the behavior of a child.......

'Muzzling' Abigail Borah and children everywhere when they speak truth to power cannot be allowed to stand. And yet it does stand. Perhaps change, change that allows the children to speak out and protect their birthright, will come to pass before it…

Equine's Apprentice

The Equine’s Apprentice

I grew up with a never-ending thirst for horses. Though my family was not wealthy nor were they ranchers or farms I had, as a child and youth, reoccurring opportunities for some interactions with horses. These were times of pleasure and meaningful to be sure but in retrospect they were at best, superficial engagements that only touched the surface of the equus spirit.

My real engagement with horses came late in life. I was 56 years old and had… Continue
