Had another Religious experience
at Whole Foods Market in the early eve
right after Earth Day in Balboa Park.

Joe the Farmer had given me some
organic strawberries. I wanted to show
them to the people at the Whole Foods booth.

Whole Foods is has a push to support local
agriculture. I am so proud of them!!!!

Anyway, it wasn't the opportunity to make that
contact.

Then, when I went into the store later,
I still had some of these lovely organic strawberries.

Amelia, a sweet lady, was shopping.
She was on her way to pick up Marshall Rosenberg,
the main line global peace teacher.

I gave her one box of the ripe strawberries from him
with a card. She invited me to attend the workshop on
Wednesday. IT is at the Peace Resource Center.
I met those folks during the day and so that is a natural
fit. They have a grant to do a garden there.

Then, I connected with the produce department.
Chad was working. I pitched my idea of having these
wonderful out of the box strawberries in the store.
I could drop them off on Sundays after the FM.

Dave, the Team Leader, was there.
We are already on a cordial relationship.
He was open to the idea.
He ate a strawberry.

I wrote a note for Bill Becket, the manager.
Hopefully this will work out.

I love shopping here,
more and more of the products have meaning
for me because I know where the money goes
and which give to good causes.
