Well here we are again! This morning I wish to talk about another aspect of “human rights”. Our individual right to abuse our own bodies with known harmful substances is today’s concern. We are in fact physically and spiritually related to every other creature, plant as well as animal. This means that we are responsible […]

Here on my Back Forty, I had a good view of much of that activity and excitement, which took place on the Plains of Abraham as history was being reenacted. Gathered in Quebec City, meeting behind closed doors, were thirty-four delegates (democratically (?) elected heads of state), from the constituent states of the Western Hemisphere. […]

Why do we keep playing this old game at which the ordinary citizen seldom if ever wins? The Politicians, Bankers with their Money Changers, the assumed leaders in the “Have plenty” countries, fiddle and faddle about their personal security and prestige, while the welfare of their world as well as the world of the rest […]

Well, I listened and watched, with interest and with some considerable amazement, the traditional opening of the Parliament of the Federal Government of Canada. She, the Governor General, beautifully read the traditional “Throne Speech”, page after page, after page, reminding us of those many unfulfilled and forgotten promises of yesteryear and again promising, many things […]

The Other Way – To a World of Simplicity, with Peace and Security, Where Faith generates Action; Producing a ‘Caring and Sharing Society’. In unity with Nature. In the security of my snow-bound cabin, I look back, in reverie, over the events of the past century. From this perspective, I perceive that our patient, abused, […]

It seems appropriate and indeed quite fitting, in the Christian world, that New Years follows Christmas. The twentieth century, with its many momentous crises, chasing each other from year 1900 all the way to year 2000 has at last succumbed to the inevitable march of time and has become history. The 21st century has now […]

From here on the steps of my cabin on my “Back Forty”, I perceive a growing connectedness in some places and at the same time, I see an increase in disconnectedness. I see Businesses joining together to form Mega Corporations so as to better their position in the local and global markets. I see the […]

Our Natural Resources are for us to Use, Conserve, and Reuse. After wise and considered “Use” (consuming no more than is prudent) a certain amount of waste material is sure to accumulate. What to do?
