Why I'm Sharing These Publications

There are moments in life when the veil lifts, and we see things more clearly—what’s broken, what matters, what’s calling to be mended.
That moment came for me in 1981, when I became a father. As I held my newborn child, I began to see the world not just through my own eyes, but through the eyes of future generations. And I’ve never stopped viewing our world this way.

Over the past four decades, my work has been shaped by one growing realization: the systems we’ve built—economic, political, social, environmental—are no longer capable of sustaining life in any meaningful way. We are living in a time of profound disconnection, disruption, and decline. A metacrisis, many now call it—an entangled web of breakdowns feeding on each other.
But beneath the noise, I also feel a quieter truth rising:
We still have a choice.
We still have the power to turn toward life.
These articles and Wisdom Hubs I created are my offering to that choice.
They are not just pieces of writing. They are wayfinders—each one illuminating a vital part of the whole. Together, they sketch a map for communities ready to walk a new path: one rooted in regeneration, resilience, and reverence for life.
Some articles explore the challenges we face with food, water, housing, and the economy. Others examine the renewal of democracy, education, and social systems. But all of them are written with a simple aim: to help people connect the dots, see the patterns, and feel empowered to begin again—right where they are.
And for those who wish to go deeper, each article is paired with a Wisdom Hub: a curated constellation of tools, organizations, models, and possibilities—rooted locally, connected ecoregionally, and informed by global insight. These hubs will grow and evolve into a Citizen Intelligence System—a living, AI-enhanced repository of actionable knowledge, accessible to any community that seeks to reclaim its future.
I write with the urgency of one who sees the road we’re on—and the heartbreak it holds if we do not change course. I also write with the hope of someone who knows, deep in his bones, that the human spirit is not done yet. We still carry the wisdom of care. We still long for belonging. We still know how to build something beautiful—together.
This is not just about information. It is about invitation.
​
An invitation to remember what we already know.
To act from a deeper place.
To build something worthy of our children’s trust.
This is my part of the work. I hope it supports yours.
