Full Ecology

Times are wild and worrying. Full Ecology has a plan. Every solution follows from that. It’s not just a wonderland, not just a metaphor. Nature shows us how.

Join author, Gary Ferguson and social psychologist, Mary M Clare to anchor deep in the nature that is your source - your home. The maps Nature has for guiding us through any human quandary are right in front of us, and they’re free.

• You are Nature – all Natural systems are connected. We're all nature, that means you, too. From airplanes to architecture, medicines to wind turbines, the models for our best inventions are found in nature.
• Diversity/interdependence – we can’t live without it. Nothing can.
• Energy efficiency – Natural systems thrive by not wasting effort – so do we.
• Give & take – In addition to releasing the oxygen we breathe, trees also give off chemicals that make humans healthier. The trees, in turn, take in the carbon dioxide we exhale to help them grow.
• Creativity – to survive is to improvise. So with all that wisdom at my fingertips, how do I actually use it?
• Listen inside to listen outside. First, realize where you are: Ever and always in relationship with the Natural World.
• Pay attention.
• Be open to surprise/persuasion.
• Leave no trace. Listening requires no degradation of you or the world you live in. It’s just listening.
• Choose. Living Full Ecology is yours to choose. https://fullecology.com/

Walking another ecosystem. Full Ecology on the Bay.

The way air mixes with water to make clouds, to sustain the stunning display of leaves at autumn's peak. The way air holds that uncanny radiance of blue. I don't get it, but I like the privilege of stopping to see.

Autumnal activism spied on a walk through downtown Portland. It matters what we think. Thanks for any thoughts of wise and kind community winning the day in our fair city. Healthy (social) ecology as radical resistance.

Looking up. Looking down when the rain breaks.

For air. For water. In a month of challenge. A month of gratitude.

Hang on, everyone. We can do this without being swept away in the agenda of the dominators. Be like the river or the lake nearby. Complete in yourself and connected, present to the world around you for sharing so all may be well.

Hallowed eve. Blessed Samhain. Festival de los Mueetos. Here on the in between, how good can it get?

As the month of October comes to a close in Portland, Oregon, a walk down the poetry lane by the Willamette River, and a stop at the stone that holds the Grand Ronde word for our newest hero, the frog 🐸

Walking in a citified rainforest - between the raindrops. As I've heard the Elders say, "We are Here we all are. What do we do next to repair and to thrive?"

The Full Ecology of autumn surprises. An otherwise deluged day with sunbreaks enough for standing before Multnomah Falls - and then hiking through the autumn glory to the top. The Columbia rolling on in the background and my magnificent sib here from GA.

Rain and cold and days getting shorter. Here are a few scenes that result. Keep watching.
