This is the second day I've been on this list serve, happy that I've made a
decision to participate in this forum. I am sure to gain a better understanding
of all the various thinkers among us.
I appreciate the opportunity to take myself to task here (what I need best to
function best as as the ecofem I've morphed into).

It's difficult to understand that there can be any 'however' to being one with
the universe. It's my understanding that we are either working together as one or
consider our needs to be above our collective, thwarting the collective for our
personal need.

>From Chris King's web pages it's evident that women and men from all over the

by our species. I don't have the understanding that ecofem thoughts and
philosophy require books, or courses, or listserves to recognize serious and
critical need for change.

If we cannot do both, nothing will change. Life as we know it will come to an
end. This by our own action, not by any other means. It will be us who ends life
on this planet if we continue to think this way.
