Grandpa's Travelogue

Grandpa’s Travelogue #30 Martha Siegel

Ukraine. In 2022 this Russian conflict is opening the philosophical landscape for discussion not only on the atrocities of war, but also on power structures & the nature of countries. There is a very large gap between what type of culture you identify with versus what the government of that country does with the power employed to them. What is decentralization?

In this podcast we examine the Ukrainian people. Marty Siegel has traveled to Ukraine 18 times since the late 1990s & has many friends who are currently fleeing the country for the Carpathian mountains. So many refugees currently in such dire straits are living in warehouses & in countries where they don't know the language. Please send them help. If you can't do that, help the people around you. If you need help, please reach out & hopefully we can find you the resources you need.

Grandpa’s Travelogue #29 For Their Future

Humans act as if they are separate from nature, but for our children's children's future we all must refocus our eyes on the physics of the situation. The architecture we build now will shift how we thrive with our fellow plants & animals on this planet. Awareness of nature will allow us to balance our dangerous habits of resource mismanagement.. to say it kindly. Staying alive here on Earth for an long period of time is the goal of this particular podcast. The super amazing folks from For Their Future were kind enough to sit down & have the conversation. This is why i love the podcast form. It provides space to have these conversations which are difficult if not impossible to have on a daily basis in work, party, or home environments.

Welcome to Leadville Colorado. 10,200 feet in altitude, population of a few dozen townies.. All travelers for definite.

Where everything else in the world falls away & all that's left is the Self. the One Self. Zero ego left. Completely transfixed on the form, the process the & chicanery.
