Rex Barger welcomes your participation!
This WORLD-WIDE-WEBsite is dedicated to
philosophizing in a new key*:
COMMUNITY, HARMONY, PEACE, & JOY!
*musical key? key for un/locking? key to better understanding?

I not only welcome your participation.
Because I want to be a good citizen of the world, I need your participation!
I hope that the ideas I present here will (if put into action) help to build a happyhealthyhabitat for all life!
If any of my ideas, seem to you, might make life worse for any one or any thing, please tell rex.barger@hwcn.org what & why!
I'll try to respond to you quickly & directly.
That means I need honest critiques from as many different viewpoints as possible!
I promise to revise any advice on this website that may not contribute to that goal, so please let me know what YOU think!
Rex Reflects: Reality Sings!
Mundane Matters that Matter
 [& things!]

In the game of life, nobody wins unless GAIA ITSELF WINS!


[I wanted to say 'ALL LIFE' but then I realized that when gaia is healthy, life is always feeding on life so individual lifes can't always win! What has to win is the life support system (which is what gaia is)!]

This site is dedicated with deep gratitude to my son, Jorn Barger, creator of the robot wisdom weblog. It was his persistence that finally sucked me into cyberspace! Thanks to Lynn C. for several pix & her cyberhelp, to Andrew L. for one photo & to Helen for editorial help!
It was born 2004.03.11 & reNEWed 2008.05.02.
From now on I will add new material at the top of each list.
This site will always be 'under construction' (just like life itself!).
So I invite your participation in my search for words that I hope will communicate
my understandings of the reality we all need to learn to cope with daily.
(1) I'm looking for songwords that can be sung (with truthful enthusiasm) from the bottom of each & every heart on this whole amazing planet. If you don't feel that you could sing any of the words in my songs 'from the bottom of your heart' (with YaHOOO!), please let me know what holds you back.
(2) I'm also looking for unsung words for my POW-word po'ms & e-forts.
I want words that do communicate to you & that may also communicate to everyone else,
especially if you think they might possibly be universally understandable [by speakers of English!].
(3) I'd like to publish your answer to this question: "If I get up at eight o'clock everyday, what should I do with all those potato clocks?" rex.barger@hwcn.org
YOUR coments on MY comments will always be welcome!
