When is a dream not a dream? When it’s so powerful that it seems real, or perhaps so bizarre that it seems beyond imagination?
This one was both, and I thought that I would take the step of recording it here, actually without knowing quite why. I don’t know that it will ever happen this way. Or maybe, somewhere else in space and time, perhaps it is happening, or has happened.

Last week, Anne and I attended the Summer Lectures in Devizes as speakers, and also had one of the premiere experiences of our lives. She discusses her part of it in her recent diary, and I will talk about my part of it a little here, but will describe a lot further what happened in an audio that I’ll place in our subscriber section next week. Also, if all goes well, I will post for subscribers a video of a walking meditation I did in this formation in the Alton Barnes East Field.

If we survive the oil spill, we have to find a way to make the free enterprise system work with balanced and effective regulation, or something, at some point, is going to kill us all.
In point of fact, the pressure of the oil coming out of the well is so great that it could cause the entire reservoir of oil to burst open, which will destroy a vast area of ocean. How large depends on how much oil is released, but it’s not inconceivable that the whole of the Caribbean and much of the Atlantic could become involved.
Additionally, there will be such substantial releases of methane and other gasses that there will be a direct threat to continental life due to non-survivable levels of pollution.

This week’s New Scientist came in the mail, and I was shocked to see that the cover story is “What’s Wrong with the Sun?”
Not that the article says that the sun is about to do something awful, but it just feels like a sort of warning of some kind that maybe there is such a thing as an end to this world of ours, perhaps not tomorrow and perhaps not in 2012, but that it could come.
