My 'O My!
It's so easy to get distracted
by the election commentaries.
I just fell into on on the Thom Hartman Blog.
Ouch. I had other things on my mind when
I got up.
Sarah Palin is definitely under my skin.
I had some kind of dream where she was a housemate.
Can we Trust the Political Process Today????????
Can we expect a Fair Election?
Is all fair in Love and Politics as one comment said
on that Thom Hartmann Blog site.
I wanted to spend some time cleaning up from
the Whole Being Weekend. I have to get back to
a very important week at home.
We are watching the clock.
We want to clear out years of stuff in the basement by Saturday.
I wonder how long the weather will hold up.
Lots of things outside.
I woke up in the middle of the night
Friday with a laundry list of things I really need to clean up
in my life that have been giving me nightmares.
Thoreau begins Walden by saying
something like "For the Sick, the doctors recommend a change of view."
This was one of the most difficult Whole Being Weekends
in all my years of attending.
It ended on a high note.
This is the third "Regime" in charge.
Jim Nessheim, the Founder, stopped in for a bit of time.
I was hoping to see him. I did for a bit Saturday night
but I was on the run to another late night event.
I want to make some comments on the Whole Being Weekend
as a laboratory for Social Change.

BACKGROUND
What is The Whole Being Weekend?
The Whole Being Weekend is a yearly gathering in the mountains of Southern California bringing together a diverse group to celebrate our common community, express our joy in connection, and share one big heartspace. The WBW started in 1971 and has operated continuously since then, annually hosting hundreds of loving people for food, friendship, workshops, singing and dancing, renewing old connections and making new ones. There is truly nothing like it in the world.

I would call it a Bootcamp for Cooperative Living.
an inspired weekend of approxiamately 72 hours
leaving many people with a felt sense of what it would be like
to live feeling loved and supported,
an Experience of Agape Love, leading to a cresendo of
agape expressing, and outpouring of share love,
Non-profit--how about grants to allow others to attend?
What of the younger generation? How to draw them in.
