Notes Along the way is a collection of essays about life and our role in the universe. Like the programming code of a popular software application, these articles reveal life's hidden workings-the rules and regulations that create and maintain our world. Many esoteric ideas are divulged in this travelogue, but desperate times require desperate measures.Our planet is in Kairos time: the ancient Greek expression for times of maximum danger and maximum opportunity. The dangers are obvious: our imploding environment, deepening gender inequality and economic imbalance, antagonistic race relations, and religious zealotry, among others. The opportunity, however, is not so clear. To that end, I offer a new way of seeing the world that gives an individual the possibility of transforming life's negative effect into something positive.Notes Along the Way is similar to Meditations, in which the Roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Aurelius recorded his private ponderings and ideas. Yet Notes goes beyond this type of discourse by referencing a number of great religious, spiritual and world leaders, as well as ancient teachings, to propose the essence of a positive paradigm that can feed the mind and heart-and soothe the soul.

The author shows how, with an open contemplative heart, you might access cosmic assistance so needed in these chaotic times. With an engaged spirituality, in alignment with science, you will begin to see the oneness of all things, and how you might change the world.Using personal experience and narrative, as well as research from top scientific journals, the author uses images and humor to encourage you to see how science and spirituality both provide lenses to help you participate in a dynamic, creative, and relational reality. You will be encouraged to open your mind and think about what all of this might mean. A deeply feminine, personal, and invitational book, The Cosmic Web is a roadmap to help recognize resources, anchor yourself in embodied wisdom, and encourage you to come together with others with synergetic wholeness.

"Marijuana: A Love Story is many things: a unique book about a unique plant, a clear analysis of what has gone wrong with legalization and how to fix it, a wild look at the quirky culture that has grown up around it, and a love song not only to this plant but to all of evolution." -Lierre Keith, author of The Vegetarian Myth and Bright Green LiesMarijuana legalization-that long-deferred dream of stoners everywhere-is overtaking the nation. No longer will people be imprisoned for decades for possession of a plant. No longer will patients be denied marijuana needed for medical treatment. Even folks who just want to get high will have easy, safe access.But for many that dream has become a nightmare. Legalization has achieved one thing: the wholesale handover of marijuana to a few large corporations. In state after state, the wealth-building capacity of this extraordinary plant is now concentrating into the control of the already rich. From seed to smoke, legalization is eroding the lives and livelihoods of the people it was supposed to help: the patients, growers, trimmers, "mules," and activists who created the colorful and committed culture that is now under threat.We can end the war on weed without turning it into a war on small family growers-but it will depend on how much pressure we are willing to apply to force law makers to serve local communities rather than corporate interests. Marijuana: A Love Story is a report from the front, a reminder of how and why we fell in love with this plant, a cautionary tale of corporate power, and a call to once more "Free the Sacred Herb."
