Tectonic Shifts.

Has it really been 9 months since the last blog post? That's long enough to gestate a human being. I don't know exactly what I've been gestating in that time, but it certainly is not another person. Here is a quick rundown: worked on Obama campaign, went to Inauguration in D.C., Inauguration screwed up my head, took all registration exams, and quit perfectly good stable job in recession because it seemed ineffective and inefficient to be hanging on to status quo, when clearly the world is a changing. So, yup, I'm trying to make it more independently than a bi-weekly paycheck and a nice health plan.

So far, so good. Working on writing what could be a killer book about the energy landscapes built through the stimulus, teaching at Columbia University, and figuring out a way to link the non-profit to sustainable land development in Madagascar that could essentially devise a social-entreprenurial prototype to eradicate poverty and environmental destruction.

So, here's to a new world full of all sorts of possibility. I think we've shifted a stage of consciousness as a country, and there is undoubtedly another shift coming at the end of this economic thing, or rather, happening as we speak. We can only hope.

All I know for sure, is that tectonic shifts have historically created some of the most amazing landscapes on the planet.
