I'm glad that you found these thoughts useful. To give credit where its due, the notion of ensoulment in relation to sustainability was first presented in a <a href="http://eli.informatics.indiana.edu/IASDR-Quality-V5.3-attributed.pdf" rel="nofollow">paper</a> by <a href="http://eli.informatics.indiana.edu" rel="nofollow">Blevis</a> and <a href="http://transground.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Stolterman</a>. For further reading along these lines, check out Will Odom's <a href="http://interactions.acm.org/content/?p=1142" rel="nofollow">recent article</a> in interactions. Thanks for the comment.

But the thing for which I'm particularly grateful to Roedl is his emphasis on ensoulment, a characteristic of design that we all sense yet few of us acknowledge, much less celebrate (much less endeavor to propagate!) Taking responsibility for the ecological influences and consequences of our interaction design work is a crapshoot unless we are alive to the spiritual character of our practices, and the spiritual dimensions of the environments in which our creations exist.
