As I am not much of a writer I can't really explain in words how deeply reflective your words were over these pages. However your words have hit the mark on where we are as people and as designers of "nature". "A new way of thinking is emerging". I love it......back to reading!greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850578816787718159.post-87482183473085894812015-10-26T01:19:58.645-04:002015-10-26T01:19:58.645-04:00Hi Thomas, glad to see you back at blogging!

Like the commenter above, I hope you'll make it to the Chicago area sometime.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I was just at a conference workshop today in which i learned about the Menominee ideas about patterns in nature being repeated from the smallest to largest scale, and the way plant communities work together to flourish.

Writing is challenging enough, and I can't imagine the added challenge of blending two voices and though processes into one book.
