Welcome to the Evolutionary Development Blog!!

by cecilebetit • May 21, 2010 • Uncategorized

This blog begins in the spirit of adventure and exploration of the unknown—to give figure and ground to ideas and thoughts. A few will germinate, take root, evolve and grow in this virtual milieu that does the work of sun and rain. The blog begins as a new journey even as I prepare the completion for another—my research and writing that began with Bill Carris’ bold effort described in his *Long Term Plan* for the Carris Companies 100% shared ownership and governance. Information pertaining to the research and its publication is updated regularly within this site.

The blog postings involve ideas coming from thoughts, life and reading that don’t directly relate to that work in progress (at least at first breath) and which seem to deserve more reflection. Some of the sharings may well be just personal tics and observations–others may be an extension of thoughts, questions and moments of wondering.

Your comment will create an interaction—a dialogue—for the exploration and no doubt round out what is posted here.

Thank you.

Best,

Cecile

It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work,
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.
– Wendell Berry, American farmer, poet, novelist and essayist

Annie Dillard

Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what's going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.

Jane Addams

“[T]he good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain, is floating in mid-air, until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.”

Albert Einstein

"Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty. "

Buckminster Fuller

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete"

Dr. David Hawkins in “Power vs. Force”

“In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for everyone. We all float on the collective level of consciousness of mankind, so that any increment we add comes back to us. We all add to our common buoyancy by our efforts to benefit life. It is a scientific fact that what is good for you is good for me.”

Deepak Chopra

“Every problem that we face right now, whether it’s war, terrorism, social injustice,economic disparities, or global warming, would be creatively addressed by our collective consciousness moving to a new level.”

Professor Tom Regan

“The other animals humans eat, use in science, hunt, trap, and exploit in a variety of ways, have a life of their own that is of importance to them apart from their utility to us. They are not only in the world, they are aware of it. What happens to them matters to them. Each has a life that fares better or worse for the one whose life it is.”
