The problems in our mobility system are so urgent and overwhelming that we need to actively search for alternative ways of seeing and acting. Five great books that help. Tell us your #favourite? https://lnkd.in/e_9wHZkE

This is an interesting report on nature connectedness and pro-nature behaviour from University of Derby. 🌳 People who connect with nature are usually happier with life and more likely to report feeling their lives are worthwhile. (p2) 🌳 Time in nature only improves human wellbeing. Nature connectedness improves both human AND nature’s wellbeing. (p5) 🌳 Education recommendation: "Promote a curriculum with nature (and our relationship with nature) at its heart. This is particularly important for children and young people from the age of 10 years upwards." (p6) #OutdoorLearning #OutdoorEducation

420 eve #poetry 420 fledglings escape pie and fly   *   * Silent night, pensive night. Carefully managing intrepid flight, serial soaring heightened insight. Self-sabotage may be a right. So is a paradigm shift, excitement of quantum array; a quick turn through reality’s rift into a fountain of play. Happy day, glorious day. Why would we have it some other way? Revise decorations — more brilliant, more gay! Dialogs weave beyond yay or nay. Reveling in destiny’s space/time/what may.  * 4/20/10  *  *  * Escape Velocity   *   * RRRRRunning–Spinning– rising to fly, to reach and conquer the sky, the rooftops, the treetops, outside the city crowds. To elevate, escape gravity. Ascend beyond all those petty groundling woes and fears. Climb past the clouds, among stars and moonbeams. Catching sight of  those celestial omens foretold by fantasy. Catching hold of tickly, teasing, zooming ecstasy. Catching up to steep snow peaks. Peering in lofty windows. Prancing gaily so many feet above fields and roads, glancing below — can’t catch me not you dour, sour,  glum-faced cons down on the street. Learning to fly, to soar, to race up high where I can see for miles,  and miles recede. Learning to say no to ordinary normality and break free. Learning to say yes to magic, and make magic me. Spinning–running–dancing–flying unlike anything before. Learning to break out of bounds and take in more Ain’t nobody gonna tell me I can’t fly.  *  *  * Smoke and Mirrors   *   *  The calmness of night with no one but me and the cat and the music. Sentient spirits out of reach, out of time feel me yearn for soft waves, perfumed ozone, a secret moonlit ride. Gentle, waft breezes carry, caress calloused cares into quiescence. Loving seas, cradling essence. Paradise state of mind.   * Some are born to battle, to die of sadness on rocky foreign terrain. If I could give them ease, could discover words and gestures that bind us all in happy equilibrium, I would gladly reach out so far my arms might break. I would sing above the fray, soulfully mesmerize. I would open the walls that hold nirvana at bay. Would you exercise escape? Would you swim into bliss, drink the nectar of precious contentment? Would you be so elated to play swept away in potent beatitude? Or defiantly never look past the sign: No Weapons Allowed ?  ...

Many great points here and something the left struggles with - common sense in this article.

I recently read Jeromiah Taylor's lovely essay about trains in Wichita and, right on cue, was waylaid by a passing train at 21st Street. "As it turns out, the old idiom 'wrong side of the tracks' really does not apply in Wichita. Rather, it is one’s general proximity to train tracks which indicates one’s class position. If trains are remote to your daily life, then you live sufficiently far East or West of reality, though certainly not of Eden. If trains are a daily, almost omnipotent, factor to be negotiated as one tries to drive to work, sleep through blaring horns, or avoid “contaminants of concern”, then you have found yourself in the center; both of the city and of reality. One might say you dwell indefinitely in Gethsemane. In Wichita, the train tracks form the uneasy boundary between those two dissimilar gardens." Read the full essay in the Los Angeles Review: https://lnkd.in/gEfr_Yey #wichitawriters #kansaswriters Image description: In Wichita's North End, a mural depicts the train tracks that bisect the city.
