MY MESSAGE
A flood of positivity is raining down on our city of San Diego. As we express love for one another and kindness, the weather is shifting and the Drought is
Ending.
Martin Luther King is smiling today, 50 years after he said, "I have a dream!"
Let Freedom Ring!

Makeda Makossa. You are helping fulfill the prophesy of Martin Luther King! Multicultural diversity is thriving at WorldBeat Cultural Center 50 years after #MLK's #IHaveADream message.
Through my eyes, I am recording a history of peace on earth, a history of the earth and it's human flowering. Our renewed earth is the Enchanted Garden, and you and I, it's gardeners.
A HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY AT THE
WORLD BEAT CULTURAL CENTER WAS
KIDS OF ALL COLORS DRUMMING TOGETHER
Kids of All Colors Drumming together. As Makeda says, "Music is the Weapon."
Nana Obrafo Yaw Asiedu, a teacher at the WorldBeat Center, who had the children of all colors in drumming together as sisters and brothers. Peace begins somewhere. It's beginning here!
The experience resonated with lines from Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech where he called for a day with little black boys and girls and little while boys and girls would hold hands--even in Alabama--as brothers and sisters.
THE CLOSING CEREMONY PLANTED ANCIENT HEIRLOOM SEEDS OF GETE OKOSOMIN
"Let Freedom Ring!: was my theme for the closing ceremony, and we planted ancient Heirloom Seeds of Gete Okosomin toward that end.
This is a seed that one Legend says was buried in an urn for 800 years, and when planted, the seed grew.
I had prepared biodynamic potting soil in a can that I attached the mini-poster for the day. Makeda planted the seed in the closing ceremony. We repeated the refrain during the Ceremony, "Let Freedom Ring!"

In a closing ceremony at #MartinLutherKing Day, January 16, 2017, one of the seed of Gete Okosomin was planted at the @WorldBeat Cultural Center, San Diego, by Makeda Dread. The packets of the seeds arrived in the previous week, as well as the new 2017 Whole Seed Catalog and copies of the 2017 Free Seed Catalog.
This poster card from the January 16 is attached to a BPA free Eden Foods can.
Martin Luther King said #LetFreedomRing! in his "I Have a Dream" speech. I am adding #LetFreedomReign! "Reign" is a play on words. We have been in drought. I am playing with using, "LetFreedomRain."
COME VISIT YOUR DREAMS GROWING
My intent is to have this sprouted Seed of Gete Okosomin planted at the WorldBeat Cultural Center Ethnobotany Garden.

TOO MUCH RAIN?
Too much rain....that asks we work together more to create the Infra-structure to harvest the rain that is gifted to us. We are asked--as always--to align our Souls with Nature.
Too much rain? Shift the Political Climate.

MAGICAL DAY OF MEETING OTHERS
January 16, 2016, was a magical day of meeting others, it was a joy to see David Bronner, President of Dr. Bronner's . He called my name out as he was entering the parking lot and saw me walking up to the Baboa Parkactivity center, site of the 29th ALL PEOPLES CRLRBRATION breakfast.
I was also greeted by
Dr. Andre J. Branch, President of the local San Diego NAACP, The national Association for the advancement of colored people. He greeted me by saying "Good to ee you again." He brought to mind that we had met at the home of dear friends Richard and Vickie Butcher. I've had a standing date on January 1 at the Butcher's home for more than 16 years. I met Andre there. Sad to say, Dr. Richard Butcher, who was also my primary care physician, died a new months ago. We were close enough to call each other friends. Richard and Vickie introduced me to Kwanzaa, a holiday that celebrates universal principles to uplift. I feel a soul connection with the Butcher family

I've been waiting half my life to tell somebody about Leslie Goldman. Always figured I'd wait for some desperate moment. Now it's here.
Leslie was a short, white guy with glasses and unkempt hair. He didn't stand out until that afternoon when hundreds of students headed from classrooms toward the building where anti-war activists were distributing get-out-of-Cambodia postcards for students to mail to President Nixon. The students, filled with earnest fury, rushed up a low, grassy hill to the building where the postcards were being handed out. In their path stood Leslie, alone. He was yelling at them.
"Listen!" he shouted. "It doesn't make any difference whether we end the war unless we solve the problem of racism!" Nobody listened. They ran right by him. The war was the thing. Racism was last year's problem.

I'm proclaiming this Let Freedom Ring Week! Sharing with you images from today's Hillcrest Farmer's market as well as inspirations I've been thinking about the last two days in preparation for Martin Luther King day multi cultural celebration at the Worldbeat Center, Monday January 16!
WORDS OF HOPE
Charlie Chaplin is said to have given humanity a powerful message in the final scenes of his 1940 film called "The Great Dictator." The movie was a satire of what was going on in Germany at that time, and also resembles what is going on now in the mind's of many.
The final two minutes, Charlie Chaplin addresses the universal feminine with these words. The last two minutes are a farm scene, for the precious woman, still down trodden, who has found safety on the land.
These are the words I want to speak in these times.
Leslie Goldman #YourEnchantedGardener #PlantYourDreamBlog
Charlie Chaplin wrote this script:
Hanna,
Can you hear me, whereever you are,
Look up Hanna!
The clouds are lifting,
the sun is breaking through.
We are coming out of the darkness into the light.
We are coming into a new world,
a kindlier world,
where men will rise above their hate,
their greed, and brutality.
Look up Hannah,
The Soul of Man has been given wings
and at last he is beginning to fly.
He is flying into the rainbow,
into the light of hope.
into the future,
the glorious future
that belongs to you, to me,
and to all of us.
Look up, Hannah,
look up.
