It is becoming increasingly apparent that if humanity has any kind of future worth living in it is going to require a community of purpose, co-opting the most people-friendly elements from all the existing cultural traditions on the planet.

I'd like to hear from participants- who are you? Where are you? What are you doing?

Forty years ago I left my home country of England on what I romantically envisioned as a voyage of adventure and discovery of indefinite duration. I was 21 and had come of age in the 1960s, when all pre-existing assumptions about life, the universe and everything were up for challenge.
What I took with me had to fit on a Triumph Bonneville 500cc motorcycle. Along with a tent, sleeping bag and a change of clothes, I carried a copy of the Whole earth Catalog, some poetry by William Blake and Alan Ginsberg and a copy of Buckminster Fuller's book; An Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth.
