I appreciate these thoughts and hopeful expressions of where we could be through a greater focus on commoning and as Kimmerer suggests, a gifting economy. I think we'll only be able to make real cultural progress toward this when we get ourselves out of the way, and put others first. Talk about being radically counter-cultural! I think it also reflects the basic premise of Jesus' teachings, themselves pretty radical and counter-cultural.
Thank you for this, Bruce. Yes, the outward orientation feels like the hardest part. Especially when, in order to care for others, it helps to have a healthy relationship with oneself. Grateful for your thoughts!
