Bring Your Own Cup...
Just a thought. I read this the other day.
A message from our beautiful Gaia, please bring and use your own non-disposable cup (preferably ceramic or metal) if you stop to get a hot drink sometime during your day.
Each 24 hours American citizens generate 25 million empty, i.e. throw away, ie. trash, i.e. land fill hot drink cups.

Letecia bought some family tree software and made it available to me. I realized no one in my family had interviewed my parents or chronicled in detail our family history. (of course depending how many branches I pursue it could take me back to the first few bi-peds somewhere in Africa or Asia depending on what theory you adhere too)
So I've begun to record the stories of my mother (Ukrainian descent) and father (Polish descent)and researching on the web whatever I could find. there a lot. Ellis Island immigration reports, books translated to english specifically about my father's hometown,etc. etc. I've pretty much completed the info. aspect and now have begun scanning the photos and maps to add them to the files. It's a great software program called Family Origins.
There is a sense of family pride that I'm feeling for the first time and a deeper understanding of myself; why I do and think the things I do and think. Also, it's fascinating to connect the dots of all those people I met when I was a child who we are no longer in touch with, yet are cousins, or aunts etc. People who I failed at the time to ask questions of or listen to THEIR stories.
As the family tree expands from our personal his/hertory to collective his/hertory, I begin to see much more clearly and viscerally that ther is only one family and that the seeming separation is an illusion and that competitiveness is a lousy and unsustainable way to utilize energy and that resources are here for everyone in the larger global family to have access to.

Well, here I am, after some poking and proding from Letecia Layson and Flemming Funch. I'm one of those people that says they don't have much to say, yet then goes on and shares tons of resources, stories, experiences etc.
I have cultivated a skill of witnessing, listening, sitting in the silence until there is an impulse that stirs and moves me into action. Something that I have come to call Simple Brilliance and... the simplest systems sometimes have a unique and complex coalescence (I love that word).
So here, I'll be posting my personal poetry /lyrics and music ,talk about sustainable/permaculture lifestyles,gourd crafting and the healing arts.
I'll also probably be subjecting you to various musings, resources and social commentary that steadily streams across my desk.
So here it goes...the red pill...IT is Real IT is Rael More >
