Here and Now...What's Happening?

Ground seasalt on half an avocado still in the shell and scoop fruit-meat out with a spoon.
My favorite way of eating it. Yum.

When I was a child I picked my own citrus fruits and avocados from the local groves. Climed the trees with my own brown paper bag filled it up and carefully climed down. In the fall I went up to the mountains and picked my own apples and had fresh apple cider from the press.

Yes, I took a couple of gallons and let them set to ferment or buried them in the ground for 3 to 6 mos, strained it out and shared the hard cider with my friends.

When I was 9 I had a Haas avocado tree, my very own garden with strawberries, carrots, radishes, tomatoes and corn. I always had trouble getting the corn to grow though.

Here's more on avocados http://www.californiaavocado.com/avocado-nutrients/

My sister is no longer in remission. We would so appreciate some loving village support, and healing intent. This has gone on for years, and it's become a way of life for her, but when I was there over the holidays, she seemed so tired and a bit discouraged, but still so full of love. She is open to receive healing, and I know the loving hearts here would do her good.

Nora, your words evoke emotions and images for me; I feel like I'm resting in a hammock with honey bees buzzing around in the strawberry flowers.

Astrid, LOL.

Eaglespirit, wow, what a powerful image ... you will let us know before it pops wide open, won't you?

Love to all who have posted, and those who haven't too ... I can't keep up anymore, but catch pages here and there.

Here and now, looking for the "pause" button on this little boy...or possibly the volume control...Lordy. Another few days. Just when I get his behavior back to awesome, time to send him back. My body is sore from the punching and kicking, and my patience is thinning with the spitting...

Today is, would have been, my Mom's birthday. Sad today. Been having a hard time of it anyway.

I'm really, really thankful to you guys who never waver in your confidence, in your knowing.

Love,

4 avocados sitting on my counter and a bag of unopened blue corn chips. I feel rich. Hoarding them for a little while longer.

I had 6 avocados sitting on a shelf 2 nights ago and a bag of unopened corn ships. (Burp!)

If you ate all that in one sitting, you'll be doing a lot more than burping.

I use a quarter of an avocado in my morning smoothie. Strawberry, Mango, Dr. Mercola whey powder, almond milk, stevia, avocado. So creamy. Blend and slurp. Clean dribbles off chin.

It took me two days.

Definitely thinking of her, what is her name, it would make it easier for me. Thanks

Thank you Flash.
Thank you Eaglespirit.

I have been thinking about a new way to talk to Susan about her condition. It came to me this afternoon after I posted. I think because I shared it with you all, I was able to let go some, and allow room for something besides worry.

This place is an inspiration and comfort, knowing that you are all here.



I found this from the Secret Society of Happy People ... it isn't all that secret though, I found it on facebook :D

Love Love Love

Nice thread by Christian, on the 'upvibrating' energy and good advice on handling it. Good reminders.

Getting the drawings ready to apply for municipal building permits for the first cabin.
One bedroom, one bathroom, open plan living-dining-and kitchen area.
Floor to ceiling glass walls towards the river. In total just under 700 ft2.

Yay tiny houses!

I'm looking to purchase a "tiny house" in my new state of employment (who woulda thought I'd be shooting for the Virgin Islands and end up in Utah?)

I"m going a touch larger though (family after all...) 1,300 sq ft for a family of 6: very un-american of me.

This story is great. Democracy started in Greece. Perhaps a new exchange system will as well.

One thing to possibly consider to be able to have some help around is a dorm. A person gets a room. There is a womens room and a mens room and two showers for 12-16 people. Could be less, of course. A separate building for food prep and eating and another for gathering and snacking/coffee. These would be for friends and campesino helpers. It could start a community.

You could also ignore me.

This is a very interesting movie. Em found it and watched it, unbeknownst to me. She's been bugging me to watch it for two weeks. My first impression is that this...voice...this...narrator...is irritating as hell. It's like this voice is being played in fast forward and the pitch has been raised. However, this sounds like the music she likes to listen to as well.

She tried to warn me about this, saying it was made for her age group and not mine. Apparently the brain of my age group is slower or something, which I can't really disagree with.

This covers so many topics so quickly, it's almost like I don't have a chance to agree or disagree before we've moved on through three other topics. And the topics are hugely important and the opinions widespread, not new to me I guess. I think I have figured out that this is based on the teachings of Thoth, although I'm unfamiliar with him (I think he's a he), and had to google him. This movie feels like I've sucked helium and read an encyclopedia in about 60 seconds...

Anyone else seen this?

Much Love,

I really like those videos. They seem to be based on Druvalos' work. Did I say I like them?

I"m going a touch larger though (family after all...) 1,300 sq ft for a family of 6: very un-american of me.

When we first got the land the idea was to build cabins for short lets, to singles or couples...I was going to market them to screen writers...someone who might want to be away from the big city while polishing over their script.
The enterprise was going to be run like an apartment hotel. I'm not rigid about it anymore now. If someone wants long term Im not going to block them. But most foreigners leave after a while...they aren't happy with our endless rainy season. And because of the high altitude during winter months the temperature can drop to the low fifties at nights...quite chilly. Thinking of putting in a small chimney or cast iron stove. People who expect the tropics are in for a bit of a shock, they are better off on or near the beaches.

Good luck with your move to Utah. A family of six would need definitely need 1300 sq ft at least... In my opinion having people live together in tight surroundings works only in tribal society where everyone is used to one anothers habits. Or a well organized family. Modwiz' dorm idea would mean having a resident psychologist, lol...
