i was not ordained into any religious clergy. i have no official theological credentials to give me any credibility as such credentials do in the eyes of those for whom those credentials matter. i founded the "martin buber institute for dialogical ecology". i belong to no institutional religion, although i did lovingly make my spiritual home within one of the many tents pitched in the desert by my jewish ancestry. god has not called on me, nor has he/she selected me for any mission, or special destiny. or at least i don't think so. but i do think seriously, i study much, i parent, i travel, i drink my wine and i carefully write my notes and thoughts. i believe in i-thou. the best way i found to describe myself is: inexplicably-indescribably-incomprehensibly-inexcusably-jewish-buberian-zen-quaker-religious-socialist-anarchist. in other words: i'm a good person. i still believe that there is no such place out there that is beyond good and evil. dialogical ecology of course is not a religion. dialogical-ecology is the place of encounter between two existential poetries: the dialogical philosophy of martin buber and the bodhisattva practices of zen buddhism.
