An asymptote is a curve that approaches a line but never gets there. In the same way, life is a journey in which continual progress is possible, but never perfection: in spirituality, environmentalism, and the quest for peace. These are reflections on the journey, as well as comments and photos from my home in rural Southern Utah. Guest posts appear occasionally from my friends Bob and Sue.

Constructive commentary is welcome. Comments may be moderated by the author.

Check out our new Jackrabbit Ranch Blog for recipes, local food info, and news about our goats and other "family."

NEW! If you've got questions about CO2 reduction, methods, or impacts, send me an email. I'll post questions and answers on my blog. If I don't know the answer, I'll do my best to find someone who does.

AND MORE: Time permitting, I'll help anyone who asks calculate their CO2 emissions. Email me.
