Farewell Hermance... 'allo Denver!!!

On y est, ... 'c'est partie!'


How do you avoid clichés, at those times when no words come but?


"End of an era..."
"A new door opening..."
"A new dawn rising..."


But truly... when a nearly-thirteen year chapter closes, the transition doesn't begin and end with packing or unpacking of suitcases... it doesn't shut off once the door closes on a new 'Temporary ZENworld HQ'...



The mysteries continue... are ZEN's en-route boxes being used for shooting practice, by a range of international Postal employees, who may think it's funny, the sound of glass shards tinkling to the bottom of the box each time they roll it over? (Actually, the first box, containing a wooden antique bookcase, arrived with a six-inch gash just at the upper corner of the wooden item... yet the 'damage' seemed no more than 'cardboard-"rug"-burns' from rubbing against its jolly container-mates... and the bevelled glass door seems intact!



ZEN's first Saturday... in America... in North America... in the USA, since he left his Wolf Sister newly-married to the Good Man she found.



This video is dedicated to 'US', WE the happy few, the ZEN family that knows where and how they walk amidst those whose primary function apparently is Feeding the Beast. (don't understand? Try reading Hesse's book
Demian), and learn about the concept of avant-garde, and or the mere perceptions of that phenomenon.


Here's a magic moment, provided by the ZENeye... a ZENmud production...

Folks, the biorhythms announce 'nap two' for a late-Friday, early-Saturday bio-fried system... enjoy the music and lights from the Geneva
Festival des arbres et lumières

When Worlds Collide... Part I of the ZENfull future...

ZENmud productions is ah-ah-live again...

Hello ZENers, welcome to those from the Media21 Fall Climate Change conference.

(FN: "When Worlds Collide" was a super, childhood science fiction novel, co- written by Philip Gordon Wylie and Edwin Balmer; the plot concerned pre and post-event effects of two 'otherworldly planets' entering in contact with the inner Solar System, and the migration of the 'chosen' to the new planet)



Rarely does such a vibrant chance materialize, to witness so many different Worlds interacting.

For the 25 participants of Media21's second Climate change workshop, our past met our future (or certain potential components for a sustainable future), as South met North, West met East, developed met developing, and the problem - of global climate change, man-made or otherwise - was offered parallel solutions.

By seeking to stress mitigation and adaptation as the solutions to actual climate change, through recognition of the value-added concepts of increasing alternative-energy use or ecological construction (which both share components of mitigation and adaptation), Media21's Conference participants were offered abundant information of certain concrete solutions offered by various players in the waste-disposal sector, a Zero Energy home owner, and an abundant array of UN Program or Agency officials whose work revolves around Climate Change.


Monday's program included a visit to Les Cheneviers, a plant operated by the Service Industriel de Genève. Throughout the windy afternoon, journalists from four continents were ably guided through this multifunctional, state-of-the-revolution plant, combining municipal functions of waste-removal storage or, here, incineration, from which the 1,000° C flames allow this SIG facility to heat water, which generates local household heating and as electricity, for some 3,000 households in the vicinity.

ZENmud will be writing much more on this in the days and weeks to come, as the events of the past week provided more-than-ample fodder for in-depth commentary.

Welcoming new friends, ZENmud returns energized for the new winter to come...


As we move toward mitigation and adaptation;

Courage!
Et la prochaine en français?

Alinghi-web, Alinghi-web! In the Jungle, the Mighty...


This post is for a man and a team, neither of
whom do I know very well at all... although
someone I know does Bertarelli's stationary :-)

There's a certain RR, who may reveal himself,
who provided me and a select circle of friends
with an amazing commentary for the
America's Cup race...

I can't remember better insights, and
comprehension-sharing, from ANY professional
sports-commentator.


My advantage, living in Switzerland, is to have
a photo to share with him; this photo of Alinghi
was taken last fall, I believe (running to my
laptop to check dates)...

Alinghi made its passage via convoy to the sea.

Ricky, thank you.

Ernesto, and your team: BRAVO.

If I'm VERY lucky, I'll see and have photos from its return Sunday!
