Take a moment and revel in the fundamental interdependence of all of nature, including us, whether we recognize it or not. 2025 interview excerpt with @mikeshanahan.bsky.social. #BeneaththeBodhiTree

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

I see we've entered the state of imperial empire in the US where the mad king names Viceroys over sovereign states.

Good morning from Mumbai.

This is the people's house, not Donald's playroom! For the life of me, I cannot understand why there isn't a populist Democrat stepping forward to rail against the plutocrats who have taken over this country. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-w...

He may be a teetotaler, but he's totally drunk on power.

"They falsely stated that I, a U.S. citizen, have no Constitutional rights at a point of entry, and officers became increasingly agitated as I continued to assert my rights regardless."

Death, impermanence, and cake The afterlife of trees

Here's our latest newsletter, which accompanied the video release.

New research shows that wild fig species in Kenya turn partially to stone, locking away carbon effectively forever and boosting soil health, making them prime candidates for agroforestry and reforestation initiatives. 🧪🌏https://planetficus.substack.com/p/stone-making-fig-trees-offer-surprising

Now, if someone gives me the middle finger when I’m driving my Tesla, I don’t know if they’re PROG or MAGA.

I bought my Tesla before they loved and then hated each other.

I know they're both heinous wrecking balls but...have to say, I find the Trump-Musk death match kind of entertaining.

I interviewed Mike a few weeks back for our Beneath the Bodhi Tree film. The Bodhi Tree, as Mike explains in this article (and in our interview), is a ficus religiosa, a type of strangler fig. The tree is also the most important Buddhist pilgrimage site in the world.

Yes.

Top of my Bsky Feed this morning.

We discussed the experience of awe and many other topics in our interview with Mike last week. I look forward to sharing excerpts from our conversation in the coming weeks. #BeneaththeBodhiTree

On this 2025 Earth Day, a film in progress about the Buddha, trees, and us. #BodhiTree #EarthDay

So looking forward to my interview this week with @mikeshanahan.bsky.social and exploring his book, Gods, Wasps and Stranglers: The Secret History and Redemptive Future of Fig Trees. The Buddha was sitting beneath the canopy of a strangler fig when he realized our inherent potential.

In this relentless political moment, it’s been challenging to hold true to a different possibility. At the same time, this compass of values feels super important, both to my inner experience and outer direction. My latest film project, Beneath the Bodhi Tree, is my stubborn affirmation.

"THE OPERATION IS OVER!"

I had no idea that when Trump said 'Liberation Day', he meant that I would be liberated from my retirement savings.

When Team Democracy is back in charge it will be critical to remember what the billionaires did to this country when it was defenseless.

To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.
