I feel like I am spun out,
like a ball of yarn strung out,
the threads cut in small pieces,
one not feeling too connected to the other pieces.

I see a mass of little things that need
doing reflected in my messy bed
and office asking many hours of attention.
By Grace, let me put that aside right now.

DAVID BOHM, an ally of KRISNAMURTI,
Bohm, the author of WHOLENESS AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER
defines consciousness as one unbroken wholeness in flowing
movement.

That is also the name I like to give to the
ENCHANTED GARDEN at the deepest idea level.
At the most visible level the Enchanted Garden
I saw yesterday in the blossoms of a blueberry
for the first day, and the white unfurled flowers
that will become a blackberry.

I spent a lot of time yesterday weeping inside,
feeling overwhelmed by what felt like the impossibility
of pulling it all together, especially here
at the ENCHANTED GARDEN INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY.

The bird life, hopping, skipping across the broken
cement driveway, those berries are one counterpoint
urging me to settle down to earth, to the detail level,
and yet, the mass of details, so many of them,
make the task at hand seem very impossible.

JULES DERVAES of THE DVD HOMEGROWN REVOLUTION
and The PATHWAY TO FREEDOM house has his two
daughters ANAIS and JORDANNE and son JUSTIN
as integrated parts of the wholeness that shows in
this brief that very essential film. At they home
in Pasadena, in this DVD you can clearly see
the inspired miracle of people working together
in sync with plants, animal life, insects, and low
impact technology. This DVD shows massive
abundance, smiles, a love of working together
and love between family members.

Here, for months
I stopped trying to keep up with all the records.
I put on blinders to focus on a few things
that are bearing fruit.

The part of my life that i would call career
has delivered some incredible gifts and advances.
This is where I have put my time, energy, and focus,
and yet everyone needs a place to live
to find their ground.

A new book is out with six photos I took.
I am one of 15 photographers. There are also
for stories CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL style
in this book called THE ULTIMATE GARDENER.
A lovely Bio note is included, and amazingly
PETER VEGSO have remembered that I had
inspired the idea for the book. The author
is CHARLIE NARDOZZI who is quoted in the
stories about the MICHELLE OBAMA garden
at the White House. The book is dedicated to me.

A few weeks from now, I will also have
the latest issue of the SPACE OF LOVE MAGAZINE.
There is a column from KEEP The BEET Media Star,
my companion, and an extensive interview, transcribed
from THE CAREER ZONE, that underscores the effectiveness
of the PLANT YOUR DREAM work, an Enchanted Garden
way connects seeds and our deepest seed dreams.

The land here is incredibly special,
it is a story, it is an Enchanted Garden growing grounds
complete with healthy buglife growing in the walls
--what are they called???--my head is somewhere else.

The Enchanted Garden is a name for our renewed earth
that grows beginning in our own backyard. Jules Dervais,
a new Enchanted Garden Club member as of last Thursday,
basically says the same thing. Begin in your own backyard,
you will help create a Homegrown Revolution.

Enough I need to focus.

No, one last thing,
and then I promise to put all the pieces aside,
put on blinders again,
and commit my attention
to the promised images from the
Organic Trade Association (OTA) Reception.
I want to wrap them around some of the choices
of photos that they can choose as gifts for their donors.

One of the highlights yesterday,
was giving and receiving quality time with Chef Jem.
I went so far as to look at the luscious compost piles
shaped like birthday cakes that he has crafted with
his Virgo hands, detail driven.

Here is a quote for THE WHEEL OF HEALTH
that inspired me, then I promise to take this
therapeutic moment of Blogging and focus:

"For progress, therefore, we now have to look backwards. We have raced forward at too great a speed. We now have to recoil. We have to look back to a period and type of agriculture in which vegetable and animal life were mutually healthy. We have to believe even in the golden age, in which gold did not mean coin in the pocket or blocks in a bank, but an age when the golden sunlight seemed to enter into man through plant and fruit, and bestow the warm gift of health, such an age as the elder Pliny thought upon when he said that for six centuries the men of Rome had needed no physicians."

The last paragraph in
THE WHEEL OF HEALTH (1938)
G.T. WRENCH M.D.
in Chapter 9
THE HUNZA FOOD
ITS CULTIVATION
