I arrived at La Milpa Organica Farm
about ten minutes before Barry Logan spoke out.
I recorded his remarks.
I traveled more than 100 miles to get there
and left Yom Kippur service activity at the
Temple of the Book.
I felt compelled to be here.
Our food supply is imperiled,
as well as our relationship to the ocean.
The things we can learn from the
La Milpa Organica Farm Open Univerity,
that I visiualize as Act Four of
Beet Keepers, Return! can be invaluable.
I see this sponsored by the
Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food.
I will need sponsors to dedicate time
to uploading, and having other helpers,
do this time consuming work.
FIRST COUNCIL
I called a council at La Milpa Organica Farm
at The Last Harvest Gathering.
Numbers of Communitarians responsed
including Natan Mallinger, a new resident
at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds.
He and other youth are now on site,
wanting to invigorate San Diego's longest standing
attempt at cooperative living.
We really need to open the conversation now
about what happened at La Milpa Organica Farm.
I see reframing this this conversation itself
as the La Milpa Organica Farm Open University.
I SEE S-510 as part of Act Four of
Beet Keepers, Return!
The Rock Your Soul Opera
This is what is needed now:
A great rising up of souls
to form the New Ground
that Romain Rolland called for.
"Let us seek truth everywhere;
let us cull it wherever we can find its blossom
or its SEED. Having found the seed, let us scatter
it to the winds of heaven.
Where ever it may come,
where ever it may blow, it will germinate.
There is no lack in this wide universe of souls
that will form the new ground." --Roman Rolland,
From The Forerunners.

What have we to learn from the shutdown of
La Milpa Organica Farm?
What have we to learn from the experience
of Barry Logan, who calls himself the man who
paid the water bill for seven years?
What does the community of San Diego as a whole--
I mean the community that wants to continue
eating whole, pure, natural, fresh food learn-- from this????
How do we respond now as a community as a whole?
How do we use the information and experiences
that are to gleened from the shutdown
of La Milpa Organica Farm from to pull ourselves together?
ASIDES
What do I do with my personal feelings--
I left my post at the Temple of the Book
in Simi Valley--where I traveled the day before
to teach the kids and inspire the adults--
to come down to La Milpa for what was called
the Last Harvest.
I felt compelled to call a community council
at La Milpa. Who supported the council?
Who sat in the circle?
Who indicated they would sit in the council?
Who did not sit in the council?
Who sat in the council?
How effective was I with my time?
I was on vapors.
How do I make ends meet?
I left a payday--one of few I have per year--
in the urgency to travel more than120 miles
to be at La Milpa Organica Farm.
KEEP THE BEET SEZ
5:40 am
Leslie, beloved, you introduced every one who
sat in the council.
You forgot to introduce yourself.
You did not hand out your following up info.
You did not tell anyone about the Plant Your Dream Blog.
You had the posters for the
concept, the La Milpa Organica Farm Open University
in your basket--you did not hand out the flyers.
You can Jenny and Natan and jesse with you,
members of the at home community, the new youth.
Have a meeting with Jenny and Natan about back up
support. Jenny knew about the film that you two made.
You did not tell anyone.
Leslie, you need to go to the Hillcrest FM early
and do some fundraising to put up the other clips
you recorded with Barry Logan on Monday.
You need to practice fund raising, even $5.00 bills
so others see the importance of giving energy
to the concept of the La Milpa Organica Farm Open University.
WHAT IS THE LA MILPA ORGANICA FARM
OPEN UNIVERSITY?
It is ACT FOUR
oF BEET KEEPERS, RETURN!
THE ROCK YOUR SOUL OPERA
What is Beet Keepers, Return!???
It is a rising up of new souls to till the new ground.
Romain Rolland said it well in your favorite quote of him.
Repeat the Quote from Romain Rolland here:
Thank you.
PUT YOUR FLYERS HERE

EDUCATING THE CHILDREN OF FREEDOM
One of my intents this year
at the Rosh Hashanan and Yom Kippur
was to make progress with the state of our Imperiled
through supply. I left a bottle of raw organic honey
with Eva for Succot. It will be used them.
I wanted the community to be aware that the quality
of food we eat helps the soul and body connect.
Heated honey kills bees. Grapes are among the most
burdened of foods; heavy pesticide use. These
came from Ocean Beach People's Food store in San Diego.
WHAT DOES FOOD HAVE TO TEACH US?
Food informs us.
This ties in with the La Milpa Organica Farm Open University.
What the food teaches us. They have been growing real food for
seven years. The farm shut down on September 18.
These was a massive travel day for me.
Marcia, L, with daughter Lilli, one of my favorites.
I have been watching Lilli mature each year.
I love to take photos of her. I have been doing so
since she was a little girl.
I invited her to read an article in Utne
called Food Fight. She did not have an opportunity
to read it fully. She said she would follow up and read it online.
Marcia and daughter Lilli are holding
organic concord grapes. The grapes where a bit hit.
Organic food speaks for itself.
