Jon Startz, A New Beet Keeper Sponsor
Thank you to all who have helped me in recent weeks
come out of the summer and into the Harvest time.
Introducing new sponsors Jon Startz and Cira and Gene Wilder.
Thanks to Beet Keeper Sponsors and friends for helping me transition
out of the Summer Shift 2010 and to be here in this Harvest Moment.
I am weary, ready to nap, and grateful.

I have been doing a lot of service the last few weeks.
I have really been on call.
The Whole Being Weekend September 10-12
was in Idylwild, more than 100 miles from
The Days of Awe, Rosh Hashanan
where I was introducing the rock Your Soul Opera
ideas in Beet Keepers, Return!
to the Jewish Renewal Community that has
been a place of nurturing to me for more than 15 years.
It was here that I spent time with Jon Startz over the
Yom Kippur Saturday, September 18.
Again, that day was asking a lot of me.
La Milpa Organica Farm was having its Final Harvest Gathering
at 5 pm. I read poetry and worked with the children.
I recorded a lot of video that will be part of
The Rock Your Soul Opera in various Acts.
I am seeing what I am doing now as part of the
History of Peace On Earth.
Many of our lives are in a dramatic Shift.
I know the world deeply needs inspiration now.
It needs us to reframe what is happening to us.
We harding know where there is safe ground to stand.
The world as we know it feels like it is ending.
JON STARTZ
NEW BEET KEEPER SPONSOR
I do not know how I could not have survived these past
weeks in it were not for some sponsors like
Jon Startz reaching out and committing to help me
make ends meet.
I also want to thank my other sponsors for remedies
that I have been using and recommend.
My life at times is a test case that demonstrates it is possible to
living beyond what humanly feels possible.
ANTHONY RUSSO OF BIO SMART
I want to thank Anthony Russo of BioSmart.
Anthony provides the Sugar Cane by product called Bagasse
that I use for with children to decorate projects.
In term, this helps me educate those I meet that we can
go beyond styrofoam and plastic use.
We need to clean up our oceans and graduate from
the idea that we live on a throwaway planet.
GENE AND CIRA WALDER
I arrived at the Whole Being Weekend
Friday morning, Spetember 10. I was in need
of a lot of healing. I stayed up until near 2 am.
I read some poetry, The Seven Love Cures
that was well received. This was elevating and
began to turn my own beat around.
I gave a good offering at the Shabat we did.
Then, I poured out some powerful inspiration
in the opening.
At the Whole Being Weekend,
I received great support from Sandra and Stan Katz.
I hope I see them again soon.
Sandra helped me pay part of my way up to the weekend.
Stan, Sandra, Robert Hartment, and others
were part of a post Whole Being Gathering
at Chris Fox;s home in Idyllwild. Stan was
inspired to help me fund some of the tremendous
outlay of energy. Robert Hartment, also reach out
to support me both through purchase of the Words
that Men Need to know and Women want to hear.
I am so grateful to be taking this time to
now to remember how Graced I have been.
JOEY MENDELSOHN and MARC WOLLMAN
I also want to to thank Joey and Marc of EcoUsable.
They were sponsors of the recent Venice Eco Fest Film
I made here.
I integrated both the BioSmart products,
the take out containers in my Kid teachings..
Gayle Gayle, the resident artist of the Children of Freedom
community made some stunning art for me to illustrate
ACT ONE AND ACT TWO of the Rock Your Soul Opera
I see unfolding.
Rina Daly Goode, the head of the Jewish Enrichment Club,
helped me organize my ideas into a simple teaching that
the Kids could understand This was very healing.
Bo Lebo, who is enduring and surviving enormous pressures
to Shift, was an incredible ally at the Rosh Hashanan,
September 8-9 and during the Yom Kippur.
Chris Fox, another dear friend, encouraged me to go
up to the Whole Being Weekend September 10-12.
She came over to the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community
days before my back to back trip of more than 100 miles
from home to listen to my drafts of posters from
the new Rock Your Soul Opera.
I was Shifting out of a horrendous summer where I
wasn't sure I could survive so much constant pressure
to work with new housemates coming in and some of the dearest
of old allies leaving. Truly, there were many days I was not sure
I could survive the emotions involved.
Rene Terese Platsky and Angelene at home encouraged
me to use the FES Flourish line of Flower Essences.
These helped tremendously with bouts of depression, fear,
and anxiety. Chef Jem was a constant ground for me
with deep listening.
During the weeks of travel between September 8-18,
The Days of Awe, I received great love and support.
Rabbi Stan Levy and Laura Owen, co rabbis gave me
tremendous inspiration and time. Stan, the dearest of
friends, opened up moments on stage before the community.
I was resisilent and came out of chaos to say inspired words.
Bo Lebo and Chris helped me record numbers of these moments
on stage that I will upload.
LA MILPA ORGANIC FARM SHUTTING DOWN
AND FOOD SAFETY LAWS IN WASHINGTON
As a backdrop to the love, I felt for numbers of weeks
much grief and loss over the shutting down of La Milpa Organica
Farm in Escondido. This is a tremendous far reaching story
in light of Food Safety Bills in Washington that will harm small
farms.
The events at La Milpa epitomized how imperiled our food supply
is now.
We do not know. most of us, how broken the chain of being
on land and sea.
I reframed all this, pulling on my personal Rock Your Soul Opera,
the drama in my own life to know that these are extremely important
moments for community to come together and for Moments of Awakening.
ENTERING THE FALL
And so, after a Summer Shift 2010 of extreme emotions,
we now have some new youth at the house.
Three are here, two have left. One of my deepest of allies
at home is renovating our Dome, a holy structure that will embody
the best of Essene Values at home.
Jesse Alm, one new housemate, is 21. He has farming experience.
I opened up some work for him with JR Organic at last weeks
Hillcrest Farmers' Sunday Market.
He plays the Cello. I felt like weeping the other night
on the Autumn Equinox as i felt the energy in my chest.
I read some of the Rock Your Soul Opera.
And intense week is ending.
I mailed my column to Regina Jensen a few hours ago.
Tiffany Hansen, the director of the upcoming Pacific Symposium
2010, November 4-7, 2010, my main fall conference, was very
encouraging. I meet the deadlines.
As I feel into the day, I have special forces
holding the space while i do this initial writing that I will
fill in with photos.
The photos will tell the story of the unfolding Rock Your Soul
Opera.
I could not do all this without great help,
seen and unseen.
My back aches now.
I want to rest.
The weekend is full of activity.
I want to make sure I have uploaded all footage.
We are in the Succot harvest week.
I have a wonderful event tonight.
Another event is tomorrow that will inspire.
I want to take a nap.
It is 2;31 pm now.
I am grateful.
I see others I want to thank,
their names before floating through my mind.
