Co-writing for the Coalition blog December 1, 2010

I'm just bringing a couple of things closer together, because I believe there is huge overlap between Coaltion's global vision reaching out to the local and Dadamac's  local work reaching up to the global.

Coalition for example -  email sent today copied below includes:

Getting in this game

requires merging global

thoughts with local deeds.

 

Dadamac for example, published today:

The theme was “Dadamac goes Glocal” - how what we do locally and online ties in with the wider global picture.

Dadamac Digest November 2010

We started November by celebrating our sixth anniversary on “Dadamac Day” in usual Dadamac Community style – bringing people together from our geographically scattered online community and our local community at Fantsuam.

The theme was “Dadamac goes Glocal” - how what we do locally and online ties in with the wider global picture. We've got a fairly clear picture in our minds - but there are so many different things linked together that it is hard to explain. First we need to sum up what we do - “Dadamac - Integrating Education and Development in Africa and Online”. (more)

Stymie Entropy's

my name. Lisbeth Salander's

my great, great Grandma*.

 

I serve as paul's muse,

7 generations in

your current future.

 

Enough about me,

'cause you folks have got to start 

having much more FUN!  

 

Most seriously,

evolving through your crises

requires real FUN.

 

FUN's an acronym:

"Free Universal Neurons"!

Everyone's got one ...

 

Let's liberate them; 

circulate, multiply them

exponentially!!!

 

Taking ourselves

too seriously's a cost 

we just can't afford.

 

All of us, despite

contrary appearances,

are on the same team.

 

Humanity's a

global, geophysical

force (as per Wilson : )

 

Getting in this game

requires merging global

thoughts with local deeds.

 

This real game's afoot ...

we win this human race when

we're just here AND now.

 

Paying attention

with head, heart and hands frees us

to have real, live FUN!

 

Appreciating

life, as a gift, is a gift ...

Open your presence!

(Howdy Folks,

 

FWIW, I just attempted to transmit the above via the etherpad as linked on this email strand. Not sure if my attempt succeeded, so if anyone feels inclined to coach me on how to employ etherpad or simply to cut & paste my initial contribution, let's just do it. {after clicking on "share this pad", I get "Paste link over email or IM: http://etherpad.openstewardship.net/blog

or send an email invitation..."}

 

Sorry to learn you're feeling a tad "under the weather", Mark. Take care of your bold, clear Self & get well soon.

 

Ciao for now,

 

paul
