Work and nature

I am house sitting a place on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia.  The windows look out over an expanse of water whose distances hint at an area that is being called The 100 Wild Islands.  I paddled out yesterday to catch a glimpse of the farthest reaches of these islands - mysterious and beautiful.  I feel fortunate to be able to spend these next few months in such an environment even as I maintain contact with people around the world to further plans for the waketrail project.

Within everyday work, to acknowledge that empathy carries over into many realms of life, including the natural environment, allows us space for reflection. As I take on the ongoing challenges of developing a platform to bring together many disparate elements of environmental awareness, I will take up this challenge - to try constantly to reimagine myself within new spaces of interaction, with people, with nature.

A recent article asked how the new economy - with new ways of organizing and working together, an energizing sense of possibility, and a seemingly insatiable thirst for problem solving - will engage and support the least visible among us?  I have throught to expand that to ask how will a tendency towards some sort of new economy engage and support to the subtlest of natural elements around and within us, to create a more caring economy? The Values Revolution might bring greater insights into this by taking into account some level of exploration into questions such as how does a greater awareness of nature align with a greater awareness of "the least visible among us".

Or, how is it possible to bring such an awareness within movements such as http://www.goodworkcode.org/the-code/
