TribalBuddha Awakens

A blog focusing on ecological sustainability, intentional community, social justice, progressive politics, voluntary simplicity, self-reliance and personal narrative. I'm green thru & thru: linking to Treehugger, Worldchanging, Massive Change, Bioneers, Mother Earth News, Rocky Mountain Institute, etc. I'll be exploring interpersonal relationships and personal development as well. "Same thing we do every night Pinky, try to (save) the world."

Blessed with a face for radio, I've chosen instead to write a blog on sustainability.

"Freedom" by Daddy-X & Corporate Avenger


The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
-Albert Camus

About Me

My photo
Buddha
I grew up with a toe in the water of many shores. 4 years of Air Force Security Forces w/ EST (S.W.A.T.), Contending Warrior (1 of 4 selected from hundreds), and a tour with NATO in 96-97. Then 4 years with the Army Nat'l Guard (Infantryman & Medic). While doing security work at a nuke base I met my first wife (we divorced after several years). We were blessed with a son and a daughter. I have developed an extensive and very eclectic network and I've specialized as a generalist, valuing the global view and the cross-pollination of ideas this has given me. I have my kids 1/2 time and I'm moving toward living in an intentional, sustainable, off-grid community. I've begun searching for a partner/wife who wishes to share an elegant life in harmony with natural laws and surrounded by like-minded loved ones. By simplifying and going deeper into relationships we can change the world! We must become the change we wish to see in the world (Ghandi).
