CHAPTER ONE
A KERNEL OF ANCIENT WHEAT SPEAKS TO ME
INTRO
My History with this grain called KAMUT ® Brand Khorasan Ancient wheat may go back 3000 years. One of my favorite stories is "The Legend of Zoraster," by Edmond Bordeuax Szekely, the Co-Founder of Rancho La Puerta, the Number One Destination Spa in the world located in Tecate, Mexico.
My Journey with Bob Quinn began at the Organic Summit in Baltimore, MD at the Natural Product Expo East in September 2011.
BOB QUINN & LESLIE GOLDMAN (THAT'S ME..) TALKING UP KAMUT ® AT THE ORGANIC SUMMIT 2011
This is the first video I made with Bob Quinn that peaked my interest in getting to know this grain and involve it in my projects.
Bob told me about this remarkable grain that legend said was more than 3000 years old and as it was told, was called the Prophet's Grain. The profit was Noah, and it was the local people of the Middle East who told him about Khorasan Wheat, this grain that he protects as an organic and heirloom seed. Bob named the ancient seed Khorasan Wheat, KAMUT ®. The word KAMUT is an Egyptian word for wheat.
THE LEGEND OF ZORASTER IS AN ARCHETYPAL STORY FOR ME

INTRO TO "THE LEGEND OF ZOROASTER"
The "Legend of Zoraster" is an archetypal story for me. It tells about a King, troubled by nightmares, who went to see a local gardener in his neighborhood, Zoraster, seeking a Remedy.
The Remedy the famous gardener gave the King was a simple grain of ancient Wheat.
The King stored the kernel of wheat in a Golden Box, imagining that something might happen there, but not until he planted the seed in the soil did its enchantment open for him
Over the years, I have told and retold this story and adapted this story to my own Plant Your Dream Work.
THE DEEPEST DREAMS OF HUMANITY ARE IN THE BOX
Photo goes here of Bob Quinn and Carlo Petrina holding the Silver Box at the 2nd Annual National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, CA.
One of my most popular "Props" that I use in the Plant Your Dream Work is a Silver-like Box that I have had for many years. Inside the box, are seeds, This Silver Box I carry has had various seeds in it over the years, Job's Tears, Beet seeds, organic alfalfa, but the most current for me, this ancient grain called KAMUT ® Brand Khorasan Ancient wheat, is one of the most meaningful.
The deepest dreams of humanity are in this box. I ask people to take their dremas out of the box.
In 2012, That Silver Box was on a journey that went from The Natural Product Expo West in March 0f 2012 to many other places.
WE ARE ALL GROWING IN THE SAME POT
The marriage of KAMUT ® to my work added another dimension: The growing of Grass in a pot.
I have been teaching that each person is entitled by their birthright to be as the Gardener. It only takes One Pot+ One Seed or Plant to be A Gardener.
I adopt one or more favorite plants and seeds, and yet the arrival of Bob Quinn in my life as an ally was like coming home full cirlce. It brought me back to the original seed that began and inspired my work, Plant Your Dream!
