How Fast Can a Dream Grow?
As Fast as a Blade of Grass...
Khorasan Wheat....said to be the grain Norah took on the Ark...
Will be the Grain I will be working with in 2012.
This is the year of the Shift.
We Need to Get Our Beat Back with Nature.
Please Read these words.
SIGN ON
I am setting out to influence the lives of Youth.
I want to see 1,000,000 youth get a change to eat better foods
in Keeping with Michelle Obama's Program.
When I was on my East Coast Tour, I volunteered to
be the Enchanted Garden for the USDA People's Garden Initiative.
That program out to be Organic. I want to keep it that way.
Send Leslie Back to Washington D.C.
The Quality of the Ideas I am Hearing in my Head this Morning
are Profound and Delicious
The quality of the ideas I am hearing in my head this morning and profound and delicious. I connected to the Kennedy Family energy the other day thanks to Mark Hanson, Principle of the Hearthland Coalition and United Green. I met Robert Kennedy Jr., our lawyer for good, at the Forging A Sustainable Future Conference at San Diego State University, March 3-4, 2012.
I had no intention of attending this conference. I had made no plans to go until the morning of March 3, 2012. That was I was in intense preparation for my Spring coming out Party, The Natural PRoduct Expo West, held at the Anaheim Convention Center, March 8-11, 2012.
I DO AN UNOFFICIAL CLOSING CEREMONY ON MARCH 11, 2012
This is the fourth year I will be doing The Official Closing Ceremony for the Natural Product Expo West. I would never want to inflict my ideas and way of being on my dear friends who run this marvelous life shifting show.
I take my marching orders from nature, and I do not know where I am headed at any given moment. At #expowest, I set in with intentions that are clear, and then I have to allow myself to be pulled by the Love of the show--to some degree where the beat of nature wants me to go.
I have been at this Show for more than 15 years, an most people there have no idea that 100 years from now, my poetry and some of my prose will be in history books. I have never read a poem on stage although once I read a poem to Kate Lawrence, who was the President of the show before dear Fred Linder. Kate cried, and I made friends with the staff. Kate would also take time to hear by ideas each year. She would respond to my emails. I believe she retired to make wine.
ORGANIC HEROES
This morning Keep The Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant,
my close friend and mentor, is speaking loud and clear.
Here are a few of the ideas I am hearing.
What is an Organic Hero?
An Organic Hero does not eat organic food all the time. Sometimes, they eat food better than organic, that is grown by principles of woo-woo that only the Biodynamic farmers still remember. Nature, in fact, is a bit woo-woo. How is it that there are plants that bloom all over San Diego on the same day? What do they know that we do not not know?
To be an organic hero is to aspire to live your life and not skip a beat. I have three fathers that I often write about on the Plant Your Dream Blog. Then I have the Professor. The Professor I call the 20th Century Essene Renaissance Prophet. His name is Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, the co-founder of Rancho La Puerta, the #1 Destination Spa in the world in my book. Rancho La Puerta is located about on good hour from the San Diego Airport. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to get their beat back with nature, spend at least one or two weeks at the Ranch each year.
This is the place where you can go and possibly pull a carrot from the ground at the nearby Rancho Tres Estrellas. This farm has fertile soil that is close to 14 inches thick in some places. That my friend, is the key to prosperity of America.
As the fertile soil goes, so do our dreams.
EACH YEAR I SEE ORGANIC HEROES AT THE NATURAL PRODUCT EXPO WEST
Each year I see and sending blessings to Organic heroes at the Natural Product Expo West.
This is the spirited work I do. My blog is called Plant Your Dream. That is what I am about. Most people do not know that the purpose of food is to Plant Your Dream. You do not have to get too much more complicated that that.
Here are a couple pictures of some of my favorite Organic Heroes for the year 2012. This are people who I have watched personally through my lens. If some of my choices for Organic Heroes do not match up with the views expressed on the internet about these people, I leave everyone to their opinion.
I can only saw I have watched these strellar human beings through my camera lens over the years. I have watched their generosity. I have watched them uplift ideas. I have watched their fraternalism, and I have watched them make deals.
Before calling are brothers and sisters in Organic Leadership names, I would like to remind you that the finest PR and Marketing Specialists in the entire world, work for Monsanto Corp. I have personally planted organic seeds with Dr. Robert Fraley, PhD, the father of Roundup Ready Technology. We hit if off together because we both have wild ideas. I have to believe that in his heart he imagines that what he has invented was a good idea.
I personally have another idea. I am setting out now to welcome Monsanto Corp to once again become a very tiny business in Saint Louis. Monsanto corp was recently found guilty of international human rights violations in a People's Tribunal in Bangladore, India. That is enough for me for this company to warrant going from big to small.
CALIFORNIA WILL MOVE TO LABEL GMOs STARTING IN 2012
I, along with some of my other hemp wearing friends, have a idea that it would be a good idea have a RIght 2 Know what is in their food. Other friends of mind have come together to say "Label it!" as well.
In my book, this is a no brainer, and yet, there are good people who work in Washington now, who actually have been led to believe that conventional, and Genetically Engineered foods are no different in quality than foods grown that want to live in harmony with mother earth.
You cannot make war on nature and imagine you can survive. You cannot attempt to beat the system and thrive. This is what Biotech Ag and Pesticide driven ag ha been attempting.
WELL, ENOUGH SAID
Well enough said. Democracy is now returning to America. A man I admire who brought tears to my eyes when I was in high school is now speaking to me. In his commencement speech at SDSU down the street from my house, he asked us to open our eyes to the need to educate our youth.
Michelle Obama now is helping out through giving kids some of the basic foods they need so let them take their seeds out of the Box.
And so I am calling on you, to work together now. Lettuce Grow Together.
As my spiritual father, Dr. Bernard Jensen once said, " I am here to serve my purpose."
