Caroline hosts Kristin Ohlson, whose most recent invaluable book is Sweet in Tooth and Claw: Stories of Generosity and Cooperation in the Natural World – Full Moon Waxing, that humans be inspired by such to rejoin the collaborative dance. Quoting Darwin’s contemporary, the Russian scientist-anarchist Peter Kropotkin: “Who are the fittest: those who are continually at war with each other, or those who support one another? We at once see that those animals which acquire habits of mutual aid are undoubtedly the fittest.”
Pluto stationing to go direct on Saturday at 2:56 pm- exactly trining Mercury stationing direct…
We be available to the language craft that aligns with re-birth….
Including Uranus in Taurus in the cahoot,
with The Sun in Libra gliding in to quincunx
on this
Full Moon Waxing (16+ Aries- Libra)
of dynamic kinship
honoring
Mutual Aid
I also love the Taurus-Libra conversing – the 2 Venusian realm, Taurean animism with the social Libran Venus – that we each choose to be emissaries on behalf of what we love in Nature -to the cultural social world..
Artists by & for Nature!
and the Conversation betwixt the 2 Mercuries, in Virgo -language craft as magical incantatory participation, and the conversational realm of Gemini (Mars)…
For us all to brew deep knowldege into playful accessible vernacular…
This is it-
Nothing more crucial now than to animate the all inclusive invitational story of
of humans humbly cooperating…with Nature’s guiding Genius…
Inaugurating a Guiding Story
the invitation to the best of all
to participate
(v mob mind – inciting the worst…)
This is what be on the ballot…before us…
The October 30th , when Mars be stationing,
Brazilian runoff betwixt Lula (We are all in this family, let’s protect the Amazon, all of Flora Fauna)
v Bolsinaro, (violent corrupt creepitiudinous destruction…)
Tis really that cartoonishly simple…
The gods saying, let’s make it really simple for the humans-
Life and Beauty, Ingenious Altruism
or Death and Misery
take your pick
Which Mars are we inviting into the world…?
Democratic Animism,
Sir Herbert Read…”only those serving an apprenticeship to Nature can be trusted with technology……”
“Did you know?” is one of our essential gifts of spiraling into accord…
essential as we add living texture to the guiding story….
Of which our guest, and her book are a vast resource….
Similar coalitions are reviving overgrazed grasslands and bleached coral reefs, devising ways to connect even cities to the wood-wide web. “We humans expect much of our own ingenuity and cleverness, but we often fail to consider that many of the answers we seek already exist and are part of the greater creativity—and generosity—of nature,” Ms. Ohlson writes.
She quotes Darwin’s contemporary, the Russian scientist-anarchist Peter Kropotkin: “Who are the fittest: those who are continually at war with each other, or those who support one another? We at once see that those animals which acquire habits of mutual aid are undoubtedly the fittest.”
Ms. Ohlson’s mix-matched grass-roots reformers are doin. “They are deciding to be partners with the living world,” she writes, “partners with each other in this mission, and showing that bleakness does not have to be our shared fate.”
“Survival of the friendliest” essay by by Kelly Clancy
and
“relaxed selection”
symbiotic mutualisms
What we eat supports our microbial team of which we be the host…
for good or ill.
We’re hosting the party – so whom and what do we want to encourage to attend?
We’re always eating, not just for two, but for thousands…for the living community that comprises our bodies..
and Viruses… so much to know…as original liufe form…
Kristin writes:
“Those infections are usually not harmful, and sometiomes they offer the host a fabuylous gizmo from the vast closet of viral DNA that changes the host’s genome forever. In fact, scientists think that 40-80 % of our genome may be connected top long ago viral infections…”
Friend or foe according to our manners…
Rude disruption of dynamic community equilibrium, the ravaging of the Earth,
makes viruses dangerous….
The pande,ic will end when humans quit despoiling the Earth.
“Tyrants don’t care if they are hated as long as the people don’t love the Earth.”
We love the Earth!
wooo… Neptune is now on Kropotkin’s Uranus (Purging corruption out of leadership)…
He be such a welcome guiding contributor to our necessary collective dream now..
Saturn stationing exactly trining has Mars (opposite, in mission partnershipwith Pluto- woof!)at 18+ Libra (my Saturn!), at the Robin Hood degree…
Let Prosperity and Joyful Play – for all beings
be our toast this Pluto, Full Moon Dance…
I always love the Sagittarian questing with the Capricornian vetting standards: “I will study anything as long as it’s useful…”
Woof woof
Kropotkin’s Sun’s Sabian, “an Easter Sunrise service…New mornings, sharing a dream, dramatic comebacks. Inner vitality winning out over outer adversity…”
That vitality with in Nature with which he allied..
Yes, he renounced his fortune, spent several tours in prison, used all to hone his dedicated craft…
reporting on
how life communes in adversity…
(Stamets oft references that slime mold, is individual cells that come together as a community in times of adversity – because the team is more intelligent than the sum of its individuals…)
Kropotkin, author of “Mutual Aid”- observed animals cooperating for protection, and food, and he : “marveled at the ways in which they sought each other’s company just for pleasure.” He wrote:
“We know at the present time that all animals, beginning with ants, going on to birds, and ending with the highest mammals, are fond of plays, wrestling, running with each other…”
not merely as predator play practice…
“ together with dancing and singing…are manifestations of the joy of life.”
another Full Moon toast:
Yea! Life! Enthusiasm..!
(enthusos – that which makes the divine wihin us dance…)
