As I understand it...Hum, thats an interesting idea. As I understand it there are microbes that work at high temperature but they need enough air and moisture. The point is to find ways to support the hot microbes even in the heat of the pile. What that heat does is destroy the seeds in the pile that will grow weeds. <br /><br />Perhaps that is a bit like escalating the conflict in order to surface the issues. But I think you have a good point, what do we do to manage the pile in the place we have so that composting is most effective.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352815437976326033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593074305758011341.post-30659237390528463162010-09-15T06:53:09.800-04:002010-09-15T06:53:09.800-04:00I have used your compost image ever since I interv...I have used your compost image ever since I interviewed you. <br /><br />I was just thinking that when the compost is too hot it slows down the process. In the same way in a human conflict when the anger or conflict continues it slows the process of healing. Getting some distance often cools the heat of the conflict to a point where we have better vision of what could change the situation. In the hot Australian sun, I often put a wet layer of newspaper over my compost to cool the process. That also helps keep the moisture in the mix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593074305758011341.post-26710480885365449282010-06-10T11:41:51.346-04:002010-06-10T11:41:51.346-04:00I agree with you, Jon.

All the examples I use in class, if you look at the long term, have not achieved Heaven/Narvana. So perhaps ANV as a social change agent needs to be harnessed with something else to bring about perfect peace?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352815437976326033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593074305758011341.post-72014248992129737992010-05-24T19:51:11.129-04:002010-05-24T19:51:11.129-04:00What happens after they have achieved their immedi...What happens after they have achieved their immediate goals: of independence (Gandhi) and equality (King)? Both did not live to see the vision to its fullest (or must I say closer to reality) because both were assasinated. The idea of reconciliation was left for their followers to chart. And it seems to be a divisive issue. While some never stop fighting and exporting the ideas of ANV, as a social change agent, or must I say "pick a fight" or, to be more nasty, find an excuse so they can practice their skills, there were others who seek do not mistake the means for the vision of a reconciled community.<br /><br />Of course many activist would say, "the struggle never stops" but at the same time, can it be said that some are stuck in their own paradigm and refuse to move on as realities evolve? Perhaps that is why India and Pakistan continue to wage brutal wars on each other sporadically. Or for the US to find hate figures to justify its military spending, choosing violence, imposing brute force over those who do not aggree with the way it views things, waging war on terror instead of dialogue and putting its feet in the other other peoples' shoes.Mediation&Peacekeepinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523112015142740526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593074305758011341.post-70498086491587500072010-05-18T19:39:02.338-04:002010-05-18T19:39:02.338-04:00Thanks, Jon.

We are in town now, but casual aquaintance is about as deep as community gets here.

In the natural world there is the equilibrium of forces all around us. Darwin tends to lead us toward the thought that those who do not resist with equal force will not be the survivors. Jesus seems to point us away from the natural in our peacemaking efforts to a more counterintuitive model where those who do not push back realize a force beyond themselves or their organization that works on the opposing force and begins to dismantle it. I observe this dismantling being at the heart level. For each of us our contribution for true peace must lie in our attention to our hearts.<br /><br />With that I will go and reflectively weed my "garden."Crist Peacheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8593074305758011341.post-10805032513603521562009-05-15T08:40:00.000-04:002009-05-15T08:40:00.000-04:00Hello Jon:
