Just got this email from Deena Metzger
who is the elder for the Dare community
in Topanga.
Deena’s history with socially responsible
protesting goes back to hear early days
at Cal State Northridge, then SFVSC.
I remember here as a teacher fighting
for tenure or something like that.
I was active in our protests around Kent State.
We shut down the campus for a few days.
Deena was a teacher there then.
She wanted to spread the word about this
important work to save a farm in Southern Central LA.
John Quigley, mentioned here,
is an old ally. ... read more Local Grown Food Revolution 18 y

I might never have found my way to Polyface Farm if Joel Salatin hadn’t refused to FedEx me one of his chickens.
I’d heard a lot about the quality of the meat raised on his “beyond organic” farm, and was eager to sample some. Salatin and his family raise a half-dozen different species (grass-fed beef, chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rabbits) in an intricate rotation that has made his 550 hilly acres of pasture and woods in Virginia’s Sh ... read more Tale of Two Apples 18 y

Was walking out the door to go out to Escondido
back country, for a day or more and Steve Hays
the Editor of the local Light Connection caught me
asking for a photo that he took of me and Donna Frye
at the E.A.R.T. H. awards
So where is that photo?
Still looking....
put in the name of Donna Frye...
and this story popped up...
I actually was given an honorable mention--

Followed inspiration to

on my Super Ripe Images site.
O.K.! Done!
Fell into a mind field of pages
and pages on the site that all were
created in a mishmosh of evolving inspirations
at different stages.
The layouts were created at different stages.
The colors are not in sync...
Branding is not clear...central images
that are consistent....
Feels like an Manuscript that really needs
some intense work.
All the pieces are there...pretty much...

Woke up in a nightmare,
a reoccurring nightmare.
I am before a group being
called to do a poetry reading.
I am very talented by nature
and rely on this natural talent.
I have been rushing.
I have not been paying attention to details.
I have been doing too much.
I have tons of poetry I could read
but I forgot my books of poetry at
home.
I start reciting some poems
I have memorized.
I imagine I can wing it.
I forget the words
half way through.
I feel stupid.
I get scared because I
feel like a failure.
I wake up.
Thank God, I woke up.

”Anyway EG, it’s really nice talking with you,
I get a lot of chuckles out of your very quirky ways.
In fact, I usually save reading your stuff for right
before I go to bed, when I want
to remove all the routine and stressful things out of my mind.
I especially like to
read about your longing for Your Best Friend.
It’s really nice for a change to hear

we hear from men is their rougher side.

I am wanting to appreciate the effort
that it takes for Bill of the Whole Foods Hillcrest
Produce department to get the job done.
More than 350 products and here I come
along with my special needs to bring this
out-of-the-box local fresh that day picked berries
into his produce domain that needs to runs like Rocket Science.
Much communication is needed all around to keep his produce
area running calm and smooth. Over the four weeks I have been involved
there have been days when staff has been stressed due to the
impending Walkout, then Mother’s Day, and ... read more Press Story on Berries + Ways to Treat Them 18 y

Had a request from Jennifer of the local
The Light Connection a little something
about the strawberry project.
I know enough to run this by the Whole Foods
folks before I would submit it.
Had a lot of stress about this last eve.
The folks at Whole Foods are extremely pressed
to do their jobs and run this produce department
that needs to flow like Rocket Science, as Bill
describes it, and here I come in with strawberries
that need special treatment that they might find
a home in this commercial setting that truly wants
to help the local farmers.

Just talked to Alice Sudmeyer,
who holds down the Enchanted Garden
outpost in Fredericktown, MO,
that is short for Missouri.
Alice was in the military during the first
Gulf War in the Medical Wing
and her own Wings have never been the same.
She saw one schud too many flying by--
missiles, you remember.
Also was in the garden when I called.
I asked if she had any Job’s Tears Growing.
She said no. I promised to send her some seeds.
She said she doesn’t even try to open my blog link
that I will send out sometimes.
She is still on a dial phone ... read more Mere Provender 18 y
Treating Holy Food as "Provender"
”A huckleberry never reaches Boston;
they have not been known there since
they grew on her three hills.
The ambrosial and essential part of the fruit
is lost with the bloom which is rubbed off
in the market cart,
and they become mere provender.
As long as Eternal Justice reigns,
not one innocent huckleberry
can be transported
thither from the country’s hills.”
--from the Chapter Ponds in ”Walden”
by Henry David Thoreau.

It’s all working out!

Here is the web site of Shamanic
world Adventurer Chess Edwards.
Seeing Chess again after many
years, rekindles my own sense of
Adventure to take on what is
most pressing in my life.
Chess's presentation
Heroic Journey
inspires audiences to:
Gain the Courage to
Face Inevitable Challenges
Be Inspired to
Make Heroic Choices
Harness the Power to
Create Dynamic Rewards
I have not seen Chess Edwards in many years.
He would hang with Jeff Salz.
Here is another photographer who has his act
together.
Both Jeff and Chess are world Adventurers.
I can see that the next World Adventure on my
Horizon is right here on this land where I dwell!
I have had glimpses of the Hucleaean task
as well as inner adventure it would take
to master my own circumstances here at home.
Looking at Chess’s site, and
seeing what Jeff is up to, brings me
new energy to take on the
Adventure in front of me here.
Check out the energy on Chess’s site,

I had an amazing life transforming
day here at home on Saturday.
Two young mothers came over with
their babies and yound ones.
This is a photo of Christy,
who I met the week before at Whole Foods
when I was doing demo on the Strawberries.
I am going to go swimming right now

this wonderful time in the garden.
