Conversation Cafe

I recognize that We are One.  I attend and attune to the Presence and Power of Tao Essence within my Self and within All.  From this place of Center, I express Te as peace, unconditional Love, gratitude, abundance, and joy!  My Life pursuits are to Be, to release and let go, and to allow.  I practice inclusivity.  In relationship, I reflect to You the Truth of Our Being.  As a beneficial Presence, I embrace all who choose to come.  I hold on to none as they choose to stay.  I do not pursue those who choose to go.  In forgiveness, I cancel all demands and expectations, replacing them with blessing.  I work toward co-creating a sustainable world that works for all.  Such a world is characterized by three qualities:  Enoughness – everyone has enough, even though resources are not necessarily shared equally; Exchangeability – trading places would be ok (i.e., acceptable or tolerable), even if not preferred (e.g., for cultural reasons); and Common Benefit – the system is designed to be sustainable (i.e., cyclical in function, avoiding waist) and to benefit all.  So It Is!  Professionally, I have 35 years of experience in research and management of freshwater fisheries resources.  Currently, I am employed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and focus on protection and recovery of fish species listed under the Federal Endangered Species Act that occur in the Willmette River in Oregon.  I am a Gateway Guide focusing attention on the common-union between Sharif Abdulla's Common Society Movement (dedicated to creating a world that works for all) and Gateway's program of building Social Synergy.  Peace, Love and Eternal Blessings to You!
