War for Cooperative Living
To be Continued...it is possible
for the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds
here in San Diego to continue the dream of
Cooperative Living? Is is possible for eight people
to learn to live together in a world where we spend
trillions in Afghanistan to fight out our differences,
but do little value Social Experiments on the Homefront
where people still imagine it is possible to live in Peace?

The war for Cooperative Living is heating up
on the Homefront.
When last I check in with myself, about
18 hours ago, I had the shocking revelation,
once again, that the attempt to live together peacefully,
with eight others, here was causing potential undue
harm to my ability to sustain my life.
I keep ends together through Sponsorships
that allow to to write full time here on the Old
Plant Your Dream Blog, and on the emerging
New Plant Your Dream Website.
It would be impossible to do emergency
work for our food supply in Crisis--i.e,
working near full time on the on Food Safety Modernization,
or for that matter, The Pacific Symposium Installation,
if I did not have an array of Conscious Commerce
Products and Services who were aligned with in
in the quest to create a world that works for everyone.
I am highly selective in the products I take on.
Years ago, there was an Award for Good Housekeeping,
Now a days, I see being invited to be a Beet Keeper Sponsor
and to be a Beet Keeper Member, as an honored
member of a select group that is allowed there to be
one more Enchanted Gardener in the world.
IF we can get about 144,000 Enchanted Gardeners
fully functional, by the esoteric math, that will mean enough
"Stars' n the world to inspire and motivate a new flow of
life giving energy. 1000 years from now, if we throw the dice
correctly, we will look back at these times, and wonder:
How did we ever get so sick?
Truly our Chain of Whole Being on land and see was broken
at the time when a simple beet, who now calls herself
Keep The Beet, looked around in the farm field,
felt her loney feelings of abandonment, and then
cooked up the Campaign to Educate Washington on Real Food Safety.
One of her first endeavors was to but out feelers.
She became looking for someone, anyone left on Planet
Earth, who still believed that it was natural to talk to plants
and have plants talk to us!
She contacted me, AKA Leslie Goldman, AKA
Your Enchanted Gardener.
I had been a fool enough to imagine that it was possible
to live with others cooperatively. Since 1982, I was living on a
1/3 acre parcel near San Diego State University. Here I believed
that if I "tried" part enough, I could become the manager of
this property.
It was about 20 years ago, that Sanda Everette, another one
of the Enchanted Garden Co-Founders about 2000 years ago,
decided she wanted to leave the City. She and Brian, her new
husband, went North to Washington. There they found the
Dragon Belly Farm.
Here for five years, just as I had learned to talk to plants,
Brian, a hero of a man, became to talk to ducks.
Jump forward, about ten years. Not only were Sanda and Brian
allies in the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds
Experiment, but they had dreamed up not only Dragon Belly Farm,
but the San Mateo Eco-Village. How Sanda landed in San Mateo
is another story.
Least we short curcuit too much of the story, if you are living
in San Mateo, you can reach Sanda via the internet. I know for the
fact that any Beet Keepers in the world right now who want to attempt
the same kind of insane adventure we have taken on here in San DIego,
are welcome to join in on her hair raising or rather pull your hair out
experiment called Learning to Live Together with Others.
