Recently the repression of local community dairies has reached a surreal frenzy. How do you feel about raw milk? Do you feel governments are really protecting OUR safety spending so much money to harass small local farms when the biggest killers come from mass production and industrial farming?

Uncle Walter Johnson, the last of a generation in our family passed away on December 4, 2009. His wife Betty passed away earlier, peacefully and at home, something that Uncle Walter fought hard to have for her. His memorial service was held at Pearson Point in Washington state on the 11th of December, 2009 at the original church built by his ancestor. His grandson Mark, quoted this poem which was one of Uncle Walter’s favorites at the service. I am posting it here in memory of our great Uncle Walter. It sure is a big IF and mighty difficult, but well worth aspiring to.
For some reason, that I am still not quite sure of, I have always felt rather offended when someone called me a hippie or compared me to hippies. I recently realized that I have been in denial and have taken the first step in learning to move out of this way of life--admitting that I am, in truth, a ...
Last year I started reading The Lost Language of Plants by Stephen Harrod Buhner right around this time of year. I enjoyed it so much that I had to save the rest of it for later, which ended up getting put of for a full year. So, now that I have finally finished it I am eager to start it all over ag ...
I recently read a book I have been waiting a while to get my hands on. Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization by Derrick Jensen. I first read Derrick Jensen's work in 2006 when we moved to Neversink in the Catskills, among the reservoirs that supply New York City with its world renowned water. ...
From my favorite inspiring Little Green Book The One Straw Revolution...this book makes great bedtime reading, as you get such lovely images to dream about. It is basically a collection of some of the things he said, so some chapters are only a couple pages long--if you tend to fall right asleep whe ...
I recently got a recommendation to read the massive book Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and let me tell you it is worth every second. I feel as if I am right there with him in the slums of Bombay, fighting off feral dogs, and tending to the rat bites of the local children. If you haven't read th ...
Modern science is often controlled and financed by industry that does not have the best interests of the earth and it's populations at heart. As a result we have geoengineering experiments such as the iron fertilization of oceans so companies can make money off of carbon offsetting, and the terribly ...
This is from I Go Pogo by Walt Kelly, 1950. Times are not so different and history keeps on repeating itself. The Democrat and Republican game goes on.... In case you don't get it, the Democrats are the Donkeys and the Republicans are the Elephants--or is it the other way round? Not like it rea ...
A Language Older Than Words by Derrick Jensen (2000) Chelsea Green Publishing This was a GREAT book (size-wise and content-wise), but every word was worth it. It is written from the heart and shows a different way to look at our world. A book from someone who has looked deep into his own soul an ...
By John Ruskin It means the knowledge of Medea, and of Circe, and of Calypso, and of Helen, and of Rebekah, and of the Queen of Sheba.
It means knowledge of all herbs, and fruits, and balms, and spices, and of all that is healing and sweet in groves, and savory in meat.
It means carefu ...
