Our Expanding Tribe

This morning while I was driving I heard the NPR segment called “This I Believe”. Those of you who read my blog regularly know how intrigued I am by people’s belief systems and what drives them. This I Believe is a segment that I love to listen to for that very reason.

This morning there was an essay featured by Matt Harding of Seattle, WA. Matt has been known in the viral video world for his crazy dancing videos from all across the world.

In his essay, he points out how freeing dance can be and also the realization that this process has brought him to. We are no longer people of a small tribe of 10-15 people, judging the other tribes around us, but instead, technology has connected us to eachother in unexpected ways.

This experience really resounded with me, and made me realize that the world really is transitioning to an Age of Interconnectivity.

And this is his video:

Greg Boyd – More on Time

This guy continues to whack at my head. I love that I have stumbled upon him through my friend Paul at the same moment that I am considering the concept of time so carefully.

Greg Boyd, in his recent post addresses the false integration between Christo-centric theology and Hellenistic philosophy. This is a point that my friend Randy and I have discussed on many occasions. If you have a few minutes, read Greg’s post and think about it in relation to my ideas on time. This stuff is really beginning to come together for me.
