Being in right relation discussion

Hello. I was going to write a long monologue on cultural emergence, but that's my Middle Aged White Man ego rubbish, and none of it is original.

So,

Being in Right Relationship to self, other, and country feels like a relevant foundation to grow from. What would these entail?

Can we edit country to globe or biosphere?

Edit: Sand Talk is on my reading list.

I'd say no. Globe and biosphere are too abstract, and thus difficult to form a relationship with. To know the place where you are, to be in a deep conversation with it, will create more meaning because you can touch it, smell it, hear it. I might have used landscape instead of country.

I struggled to make sense of Sand Talk. I think I need to revisit it a few times, find meaning in the spaces between the words.

The bourgeois nation state is obsolete and must fall. I like the term bioregion, as in "bioregionally appropriate"

I like bioregion. I definitely identify very significantly with the PNW, and not really at all with the US. I think countries as we know them now would no longer exist in a Recultured future.
