Perspective On The Present Global Crisis – Part 2
A PERSPECTIVE ON THE CURRENT CRISIS – Part II by Rebecca A Field Humanity is currently in a period of realizing that the sensory cultural outlook of the present isn’t working any longer. Most of us don’t want to go into a monastery, real or symbolic, for mystical revelations to find our inner truth or the existence of societal truth. We live in the dying phase of a sensate era.

The Soul of Thanksgiving by Rebecca A Field I was hardly ‘dry behind the ears’ when, as a very young, scared and new teacher in Alaska, I asked my seventh grade class to write a little essay on what they thought about Thanksgiving and what it meant to them.
