我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I helped develop the Natural Food Cooperative Network in the West Kootenay, British Columbia region where I lived during the 1970s, helped operate La Balance Natural Food Co-op Network in Quebec during 1980s, learned that co-ops are colonial violence-induced fragments of once integrated holistic indigenous economic systems uniting capital & socialism on 'fractal' ('multiplier, building-block where the 'part-contains-the-whole') human terms.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I've been helped in my life & 100s of 1000s of kilometre travels, hitchhiking, bicycling, walking, by so many people, known & stranger & sometimes returned a fraction of these favours. I'm not travelling now, because humanity & the biosphere need me right where I am.
