Dear Colleagues.
A little thing maybe but with
sustainability issues, size
don't matter: what we
DO with it
does.
Takes a Shrimp
To Save a Village
Thanks John
for bringing
this to
everyone’s
attention
and keeping
us thinking.

That right there makes me
think about what-it-takes
to keep us thinking.
All these years of spam I am
presuming to
Think-Of-Shrimp
Together
so to speak
I can call IT that:
let T.O.S T. represent
collegial & collaborative
genius-at-work, acknowledging
that it’s not the token topic
(smoking, parking, video-games,
infrastructural house-keeping
affairs we have with us always)
that matters
(well, of course it "matters":
got to
put in play)
but rather the converse-action
itself that most counts: getting
better at it, and Good.
Small is beautiful.
"shrimp” then, so to speak, in all
its embodimental manifestation,
variation & diversity: let "shrimp"
be our Standing-For, standing for
the WHOLE & Parts Mystery: our
inter-connected deep eco-logical
& sacramental relationships;
We’ll see what a web it is
we weave when first we
practice to perceive.

Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteI have read this blog for some time now after I took a course with you.
This post has caused me to comment, because I heard about this conversation about the shrimp and I think its really interesting!

Josh,
ReplyDeleteWhat's interesting is what we as
faculty find to engage our thinking
across the curriculum.
Now that we have e-forum techno-
capability to talk and think together & the possibility for ongoing accessible converse-action (I like to call it that--as opposed
to all the other activism on campus), the possibility for
something like collaborative genius becomes a reality.
Do you think that's grandiose?
Talk about shrimp, talk about
Jeremiah Wright, talk about
post-literate, neo-oral
education in the 21st
century... whatever.
It doesn't take much
to start a fire.
Thanks for your comment.
