Stop and Reflect on the Lotus
Each morning coming to ‘work’ at the Healing Centre we are greeted by the beauty and serentity of the lotus. These are early morning meditators who then tuck up until the next day break.
Moon Garden
Hi, my name is Gonca. Those of you who have had the pleasure of visiting Nosara might know me and my jungle store, Bazzar de Nosara. For the last five years, I have been coming to Bali to do the shopping for my store. Bali feels like a second home to me by now. Seeing […]
Barefoot on Grass
I just came across this via Inhabitat (so those of you who are all “up-to-the-minute” on the internet are rolling your eyes) — but what a perfect thing. If only they could somehow make one with that great Playa Guiones sand; those of us in NYC could pretend we were back by the Harmony Hotel’s […]
Second Chance for George: Not the Last Tortoise of His Kind
The New York Times has a great article about “Lonesome George,” who was thought to be the last of his tortoise-subspecies. Now scientists think there’s a female for him somewhere out there.
The NY Times has good taste
If you’re a harmony-blog reader, you had to grin when you opened The New York Times and saw the photo, along with the first line: “Nature is so in.”
Spin for Your Life
Lloyd Godson won Australian Geographic’s “Live Your Dream” prize and launched the BioSUB project with the money. The sub is powered by surface level solar panels. He generates his air by pedaling a bicycle — think about that in your spin class — while plants gobble up the CO2 he and the photographer make. Lloyd, […]

What the Big White Puffy Clouds See…
This painting was one of three I made for a movie about the Florida Keys eco systems…. This would be a big white puffy cloud’s view of a mangrove estuary. The film is showing at the Florida Keys Eco Discovery Center in Key West as part of an interactive exhibit. The paintings are used as […]
The Site
There are other pics (including overheads, I think) on the site. The corn has long been harvested and now the project is all about finding green solutions for the land.
Not a Cornfield!
So, when I got to LA this time I rang up my friend, artist Lauren Bon and said “Let’s catch up! What are you up to?” Lauren sent me a link to Not a Cornfield. Lauren has embarked on a project that is part earth sculpture, part experiment and part urban healing. 32 acres of […]
Conservapedia
Conservapedia: a conservative alternative to Wikipedia. Here’s what it says about kangaroos: “According to creation science, after the Flood, kangaroos bred from the Ark passengers migrated to Australia. There is debate whether this migration happened over land … or if they rafted on mats of vegetation torn up by the receding flood waters.”
Yes, I Love Your Country!!!!
I arrived back in Costa Rica the other day. A last minute change of plans meant that I had to grab a taxi ride from the airport in Liberia. Juanel was my driver. I must have been smiling from ear to ear because he asked me in a very bemused way, “Do you love my […]
Looks Beautiful…Just Don’t Surf!
I was out here in LA for meetings this Oscar week and got an offer to borrow a board. Then it rained, and I was shocked to learn that the pollution is so bad that you’re not supposed to surf for three days afterwards. I knew you weren’t supposed to surf the next day, but […]
Fever Charts
From the Sierra Club: several charts based on the National Climatic Data Center’s findings that 2006’s average U.S. temperature was the warmest on record! The map breaks their findings down by state, so you can see which states had the worst “fever” last year. Seriousness aside, notice that the big climate change loser last year […]
Rubber Tires in the Sea: Actually Not a Great Idea
Why did sea life fail to form in the artificial reefs created by used tires? The Associated Press asked some scientists about it: “No one can say with certainty why the idea does not work, but one problem is that unlike large ships that have been sunk for reefs, tires are too light. They can […]
Save these Trees! Drop a GreenDime
Green-based service companies are proliferating and some seem incredibly promising. GreenDimes is one of them. Guess how many trees have the honor of being chopped down every year for junk mail? Did you say 100 million? Then you’re right. Now you want to find out about how to get off those lists, now right? But, […]
