Reading Response: Thoreau | Document | 2006-02-03 | 2007-10-05 | 2005-09-13 | |
Thoreau's success as a teacher comes both from satirizing effectively the kinds of values that lead people away from finding the divine in the everyday and in his presentation of the quality of life thereby lost. He has created a spiritual text that we can meditate on to help us stay focused on living deeply. | |||||

This poem was originally published in _Whole Earth Review_, Fall 1987: 26-29. In 1991, a longer version illustrated with photographs was published. _AUTOGEDDON_ is visionary in that it, in the full version, encompasses many aspects of the modern carfree movement. | |||||

Hannah Peterson walks 80 miles through desert to catch bus; Biodiesel advocate Lousia Aronow repents. | Document | 2005-09-21 | 2005-09-22 | 2005-09-21 | |
Hannah walked miles through the desert, and she speaks of the conscience that prevents her from using cars. In my memory of this article I imagined her resting in meager shade during the day, and then walking in the crisp, stellar, desolate silence of the desert night. Below is the carbusters version of what Lousia Aronow wrote, so that the rest of us with the carfree conscience can learn from Hannah's example. | |||||

Written on being asked to help a group study for Linguistics 420 | Document | 2005-06-30 | 2008-03-05 | 2005-06-30 | |
This summer I'm taking a linguistics class taught by the chair of the department. It is not an easy class. I'm learning a lot. A group asked me to help them out this weekend. On first being asked, I thought I couldn't help, it is just a matter of taking the time to read... A while later, since I'm planning to be a teacher of some kind, I said I'd meet with them. After thinking about it rather too much last night, I decided on what I've written about below. | |||||

Here is the original description: I'm being too distracted by my desire for female friends, and if possible, a lover, so I'm developing a strategy for addressing this need I have. I will consider my desires and in what areas I may need to change, develop, or compromise in order to appeal to this woman. | |||||

A book by Jeremy Rifkin published in September 2004. The importance of 'The European Dream' to the carfree movement is that it describes the broader effects and background of a person-centric environment.

The Vow of Stability (Stabilitas Loci) | Document | 2005-02-27 | 2007-01-05 | 2005-02-27 | |
I found this from reading Thomas Merton's _Seven Storey Mountain_ or the autobiography _The seven mountains of Thomas Merton_. For some orders, the vow of stability (stabilitas loci) means, in part, never leaving the walls of the monastery. |
