Hi M,

Nice to talk and thanks for your email here. Musing-making ('a period of reflection or thought' generation) ongoing ... It occurs to me that I could meet someone at Reed FAR who needs a ride back to the SF Bay Area, and who might even want to head to the Klamath-Skiskyou EcoRegion on the way south. She could be 28, a MD to be, and beautiful ... or someone 25-35 looking to begin a family and very attractive ... and we could connect on the road trip ... would be happy to offer a ride ... to be seen.

Greetings from Crescent City. Car-camped near the Pepperwood exit on Hwy 101 south of Eureka - basically from 11p-7:30 all scrunched up on a Thermarest under 2 sleeping bags in the back of my Prius c, not bad, but where is the Toyota Proace / Lerina / Alphard / Hiace that gets 100 mpg in the US? :)

You at the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Series - http://www.chambermusicpittsburgh.org/our-concerts - and KL at Chatham Baroque / Chamber Music Pittsburgh - might find this Google
for Nonprofits video from yesterday very very helpful -

https://youtu.be/-0fZ41yl4q4. It has lots of great ideas for how to use their Google platform. Is the PCM in the Google for Nonprofits?

World Univ & Sch is in it for free ... it's worth checking out! Blogged about this Google for Nonprofits' video here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/desolation-wilderness-brilliant-google.html ...

Am continuing to find this Boston Baroque internet channel - http://www.bostonbaroque.org/boston-baroque-radio - inspiring, which you both might enjoy as well.

Brilliant Google for Nonprofits:

Two kayakers pushed off from shore as I stood at BEAUTIFUL Stone Lagoon at Humboldt Lagoons State Park in Klamath Bioregion http://library.humboldt.edu/humco/holdings/Sathrum/NorCalEnv.htm "Can I swim out to you?" I called. He with big beard in stern laughed uproariously. I went on: Can I surf standing on your rudder:))

After some horrendous experiences re ethics at Stanford by its staff and faculty (M.K., A.V., and I.H. - see, too: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/western-capercaillie-sending-care.html) - and re World University and School - I decided to look up more about the ethics and related philosophies I engage in, particularly re Taoist philosophy, but also re Quaker thinking, Unitarian Universalist thinking as well as Angela and Victor Yoga thinking (hippy and Harbin too) (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/chinese-garden-philosophies-i-find.html) - and newly entrepreneurially. I found the following about about Taoist ethics:

Religions - Taoism: Taoist ethics - BBC

https://www.bbc.co.uk › religion › religions › taoism › taoethics › ethics_1
Nov 12, 2009 - Ethics and morality, as well as the creation of community, emerge as central in the Daoist religion. Taoist ethics are concerned less with doing good acts than becoming a good person who lives in harmony with all things and people. Taoist ethics are inseparable from Taoist spirituality - both contain the same ideas.

https://www.patheos.com/library/taoism/ethics-morality-community/principles-of-moral-thought-and-action -


Principles of Moral Thought and Action
The Taode jing and Zhuangzi were not interested in promoting specific moral virtues, and were critical of the idea of regulating society with standards of behavior.  According to these texts, to emulate nature and "do without doing" (wei wu-wei), and to harmonize oneself with Tao, will lead naturally to behavior that is genuinely virtuous.  "Drop humanity, abandon justice/ And the people will return to their natural affections" (Ch. 19).

Early Way of the Celestial Masters texts did not follow the Taode jing in rejecting Confucian virtues, but they did argue that an emphasis on the outward signs of moral behavior was incorrect.  Instead they advocated "secret virtue," good works done secretly and known only to the gods.  Nonetheless, the Celestial Masters movement in practice regulated morality in a variety of ways, including requiring followers to confess their wrong-doing and petition the heavenly authorities for forgiveness.
