<p>Welcome, Ceris!</p>
<p>In my personal news I often wander about talking to myself about the thoughts I have doing my "economics" research here in Thailand - a totally foreign culture to my past experience. I am lucky that people wander in and engage with me - like John and now hopefully you. I feel (?), sense (?), know (?) that Buddhist Economics has insights to offer those of us in the west who want to rectify our relationship with nature and each other but figuring out how to understand it with my western mind and how to then communicate it to other people who have no knowledge of Eastern philosophy....that is a challenge. I have a niggling (that is not the right word but I think conveys what I want to say) feeling that it is here that we might find something that can convince people to change their ways since just about the only thing I am sure of these days is stepping up to people in the west and telling them that they have to get their act together and it is going to mean sacrifice ... that will <strong>NOT</strong> work.</p>
<p>Oh well...back to the drawing board...and feel free to chime in and give voice to your doubts as well as your ideas!</p>
