Earth Day...

...every day.

I have been contemplatively thinking about all the beauties this earth offers.  Earth day was almost a week ago.  I was impressed by the amount of people who actually spoke out about it, or acted in a specific way.  The masses are coming around and figuring things out.  If only they could take these lessons and apply them everyday.  Then there would be no need for an earth day.  We would all be practicing the good life.

Spring snow fell on the front range last night.  The cold rain turned into large white fluffy flakes and I awoke to a good three inches on the ground.  My time here on the front range has been filled with much meditation, many lessons, reconnections and love.  

I leave for Bisbee Arizona at the end of the week.  An old friend who has randomly popped up will be giving me a ride.  My roots are tapping.  I am finding understanding in my home land.

Things I have learned:  Lessons are never ending.  Life is ever moving.  Love is forever Free.  

 

Ganja

Cannabis.  

Here in Colorado, the weekend has been spent in many ways.  A Communiky Techno Arts Festival was rockin' Boulder while people were being educated on the righteous herb.  Tomorrow, the infamous 4.20 will bring all the stoners into the streets to profess their love for the magical plant.

My love for this plant is not only based in the excited state of consciousness it offers but also in the powerful diversity it holds as an enduring weed.  A weed which has the potential to provide us with so much.  We sit and subsidize type 2 corn and deplete our soil.  Yet we could be growing hemp and supplying ourselves with all kinds of products.  Anything that is not glass or metal can be made from hemp, (cannabis).  We could be producing oil from it, plastics, food, clothing.  

Instead of being a random stoner and focusing on apathy...tomorrow I educate.  i advocate. the future is in our hands.

The difference between the two machines, as of now.  One is powered by me.  The other .... fossil fuel.

The new step is to learn how to convert the energy I can produce on the bike, into the sewing machine.

And then into anything I want powered.

The Burden of Change

adapt |əˈdapt|
verb [ trans. ]
make (something) suitable for a new use or purpose; modify.

modify |ˈmädəˌfī|
verb ( -fies, -fied) [ trans. ]
make partial or minor changes to (something), typically so as to improve it or to make it less extreme.

What is everyone holding on to?  Why is this new century being bogged down by addictive laziness?  

Change is not something someone will show you how to do.  Change is only accomplished from within.  

Once one discovers the freedom which comes from "alternative" living they are uplifted.  A new light is shown on how to live.  We see through the lenses of a new paradigm and life seems refreshed.  Yet, there is still struggle.  Like walking up a stream, or even more so, a street full of zombies.  (Not the eat you kind, just the monotonous, lame kind.) A current which is against everything you think about and strive for.  A current which is flowing blindly into self destruction.  A waterfall into pity and regret.  Why can we not let go?  Why can we not move forward thoughtfully and consciously?

Some say truth will set you free.  But it will make you miserable at first.  I say why?  Why not go ahead and allow the truth to be righteous and precious?  Let it be the exuberant celebration of newness.  When you are able to let go of all that you are addicted to then you are able to shine and live freely.  

We heal ourselves when we are sick.  We take vitamins, pills of any kind to "cure" our problems.  Yet when some are still so addicted to the manufactured happiness which comes from the system we are shy of happiness always.  They wont drop the addictions to heal themselves.  They just make excuses.  If only we could all realize what true health is.  What to heal really means and how to adapt and move forward into the new....
