How many invasions by the US in other countries since Viet Nam? The forever wars are essential profit margin for the war machine that runs this country.

They can be friends, family, strangers. Listen to homeless people if you can. Break through the illusion you are separate or less than or better than someone else. Does not matter who. Advance listening: trees and birds and bees :) The key question comes out of the book The Coaching Habit: the AWEsome que

Transformation can happen faster when someone sees you, can help you be become more yourself at work, home and in between. Do you want to make some big changes but feel confused about next steps? I like working with small business entrepreneurs, activists and artists to help you see the goodness as De Mello says. Is that you? What to expect? I tune into what y

Tune in on the 19th of May to a conversation with Dr. Christine Webb, wonderful primatologist and author of The Arrogant Ape.

That's me Tim Colman in blue shirt and Mike Lee, friend and plant genius artist. If I hadn't met Mike, there would be no Good Nature Publishing.

I've been so focused on random search for ospreys returning that the first swallows skimming the lake surprised me and made me glad for the season's strength and the birds return to pick off bugs and build their nests across Seattle's favorite lake. It reminded me of Verlyn Klinkenborg's beautiful ode to changing climate, swallows migration and life on the move. I thought I'd share his writing here to celebrate returns and the season: By Verlyn Klinkenborg Mr. Klinkenborg was

Beautiful story about a primatologist who changed the way we understand orangutans, and ourselves as hairless apes that swim. Primatologist Birutė Galdikas died on March 24, 2026, and an era of science that began in the forests of Tanzania, Rwanda and Borneo studying humanity’s closest living relatives more than half a century ago is coming quietly to a close. Her passing marks more than the loss of a scientist – it’s the end of one of the most extraordinary chapters in mod
