Through my eyes,
I am recording a history of
peace on earth,
a history of the earth and its
human flowering.
Our renewed Earth is the Enchanted Garden
and you, and I, its Gardeners.

Many people are offended by "I" people,
people who see the world through their eyes.
"I" people in community are an ever rarer bird
perhaps, and can bring up a lot of emotion.
The ideal of community is the "We." as in
Interdependence, and yet to get to a community
of "We." It takes a group of strong and well meaning
"I" centered people who are williing to sit in dialogue
together.
I have not felt strong enough to sit in dialogue
or council with the whole group at the
Enchanted Garden Intentional Community
in San Diego for many, many months
I have simply not felt safe.
I am feeling stronger now.
By necessity House meetings began once again
last week, and they will continue this week, and every week
I am in town.
Next week I am out of town for an annual Passover retreat.
I return after Easter. I leave the home in the lands of very
caring, sensitive housemates, each fully absorbed in their
own lives as well as the desire in part to live with others
in community.
I want to make sure that there are plenty of opportunities
to express this week by all, and for me to explain what I see.
I basically see a property that is overgrown with plants
and trees. I see many new plants from the Exotica Rare Fruit
Nursery wanting to go in the ground. I see some trees in the ground
being carefully tended, and a whole lot of other plants screaming
for attention.
I see a lot of things in the living room, new products for
a few key companies that I brought home from the Natural Product
Expo West. #expowest.
This products need to be organized, well identified in a book,
and product tested by our community as well as the key people
in the San Diego Community at large.
I see shelves needing to be cleaned this week.
I hear there is an area right off our property in front that asks
to be cleared of some dumping from a visitor we allowed to stay here.
I see trashed piles on various places of the property that make
the property feel unloved.
There will be some graduations here in the months to come,
well intended and well meaning residents moving on.
There will be some new housemates being invited to live
on a very special land, one third acre, filled with many nature spirits
and great potential.
This land, for more than 30 years has been a place where
people have come to advance their dreams.
I see the land as a finishing school of the cream of the crop
of students at the nearly SDSU who want a natural education,
and some training in learning to live together with others.
