Beautifully said! You are such a profound thinker for someone so young. May your vision of your healthier, happier future manifest in your 30s as you saw and may all the intricate spirals of life be heading us toward a better collective future! Please take care of yourself: you have something valuable to teach us....my best wishes for a strong and robust recovery.

@isabelle I am deeply sorry to inform you that our Coyote passed away a few months ago. He was a gift to all of us and left a remarkable legacy through his writing on our site. Coyote experienced his NDE several years ago and that seemed to shape his thinking from that time forward. He was an extraordinary writer and thinker and it seemed as if he were writing from a higher level of consciousness. You may read his posts by clicking on his name @coyote and then click activity.

Oh my... So sorry to hear this. Had no idea. He appeared to be a remarkably evolved individual and quite impressive. I will re-read his posts. Thank you for telling me. I feel shocked and sobered by this news. May he be in a far better place now.
Posted in Rooftop Revolving Lounge 2 in 2019: I have a personal archive of illuminating videos and essays that I stumbled across while trawling through the web in the disorienting days following the 2016 presidential election (side note: I also found out about this gem of a community in those days as well). One of my favorites is an essay by the British writer Charlotte Du Cann via an artists' collective named the Dark Mountain Project. It's a somewhat long read (15-20 minutes), but I think it might resonate for some of you.
By the way, hello everyone! As I mentioned, I've been haunting this site for the past two years, but I've just created an account for commenting. Looking forward to some thought-provoking conversations.

CoyoteJ,
What am amazing site! I googled The Dark Mountain Project to learn more about it and just the opening immediately connected me to wanting to read their articles!
"We intend to challenge the stories which underpin our civilisation: the myth of progress, the myth of human centrality, and the myth of our separation from ‘nature’."
What a beautiful way to pinpoint the duality and separation we all feel in these times!
Many articles of such a variety of interesting topics!
Here's a link about the two journalists/activists who met online and founded the site:

Very, very interesting site! Thanks for leading us to it!

Hi Michele
I'm a writer myself, and I've been following the work going on at Dark Mountain for several years. I like how they go beyond instant opinion and try to understand how the events of today fit into a much bigger story of global transition. For whatever reason I am having difficulty posting links in my comments, so Jeanne is going to post the link to the essay I wanted to share.

Coyotej,
I could tell you were a writer as well as a lovely and introspective reader. I haven't had time to read more than the beginning articles in Dark Mountain's introduction to the site and hope Jeanne can fix the glitch. If not, I'll just dig deeper and read more once I figure out its navigation, myself.
Our world needs more sharing among us not less in any formats we find that work for us! And this site is certainly one of the more unique and diverse ones!
It's so very nice to have you join in as a new voice. I look forward to hearing more from you and I'm sure we would all love your take on the many varied discussions among all of us.
We have much to learn from one another and from each other's take on not only the harmony of connection as well as our roles in helping one another and the healing of our planet with so many issues and woes.
Welcome and I hope you join in more of our discussions.

Thank you for the warm welcomes, Michele. Jeanne fixed the glitch, and the link to the essay is in my original post. Happy reading.

I simply loved that Coyote! Wonder by Natalie Merchant is one of my fav's!
I have a song that is one of my all time favorite inspirational songs. I hope everyone here enjoys it as much as I do too. It gives me chills and happy feelings whenever I hear it. I hope you Dance by Lee Ann Womack. Here's the link with the music and the lyrics:
