Marei,
you said:
"PS: Where are you located, Frank? I couldn't anything about you on the
page."
At the moment I am in Bethel, Alaska visiting my dad and experiencing the
wonderful open space of the tundra and the Kuskokwim river. I will be
returning to Massachusetts next week where I may be working with a rural
environmental education program center in the position of caretaker/lodge
coordinater--a position with which I see much potential to integrate OST
tools into day to day operations and community life. More on those ideas
later...
and:
"PPS: What does commoikos mean?"
"Commoikos" comes from the Latin "com" meaning "together" and the Greek
"oikos" meaning "home" ("oikos" is where we get the prefix "eco" from as in
ecology--the study of home). Thus commoikos means "home together" which is
what I conceive universal enlightenment to be like... coming home together.
Peace,
Frank

Frank, thank you for your wonderful webpage. I have bookmarked it and am
looking forward to visiting every now and then and finding more and more
treasures. I havn't put my attention to living in a community yet, as it
seemed to far away from what I see around me, but reading about your vision
makes it be closer and more achievable to me also ~ so I will include it in
my wish-list, set an attention and attract this into my life sooner or
later.
Additionally, virtually I already experience being part of such a
community on this list ~ hey, I am back into reading emails after having
deleted the last 500+ because of feeling totally overwhelmed. And the moment
I deleted my whole "os-list to be read later" folder I felt wonderful. And
am now able to enjoy these conversations again.
With joy and appreciation,
Marei
