GREENESS? I spent about 40 min. last night, same this morning, & another 10-15 now trying to print out a program for the 2014 Mindfulness: Foundation for Teaching and Learning. The leaders are mainly of the Order of Interbeing which is super-green. It is possible to take this to a point when this collides with compassion and may even be counterproductive. They could not mail out paper materials, no. I deduce that once on scene, I am either to memorize where and when I am supposed to go to sessions from signs everywhere or be a weak adherent to the Order and print the online info out. It took me all that time to engage with printing something the conference coordinators dont want us to print. I wasted more paper than they would have sent me. My left leg is still deteriorating and I cant stand in front of their or signs or have people bumping either leg in crowds around the signs. They did supply one map. It had the freeways for driving and not surface streets. I only wasted one piece of paper trying to get a google map aligned. I cant walk unnecessary distances at the moment. (Or maybe some necessary) I will be interested to see what recognition there will be tomorrow of any disability issues, physical or memory. Do you believe I will be the only person who printed out the very rudimentary schedule? If I am, I will be very popular. Oh, by the way, no handouts at sessions. So we assume everyone spent the money on cards? Or there will be delays of subsequent sessions because everyone is digging for contraband pieces of paper to write on? I think the desire to exemplify the pure practice of not using paper has run up against building community via communication.
