good times being had in this town. many many good folks, a gracious host in antonia, and a community that is more progressive in the sustainable direction than most any i have seen otherwise.
still a ways to go. but yet last weekend i spoke to someone about the lack of reality of peak oil, climate change and that the systems are not in fact closed but open and infinite and that all is produced within if that is the reality we chose to live in. in essense it is all about which reality we chose to live in.
i wonder if the mohicans chose their reality, or the redwoods that once line the yokayo and napa valleys. perhaps they figured their time had come and it was better to leave earth. not sure about that.

on another note- it is still interesting to me how a culture that pushes the use of plant medicine in virtually every form to the fringes and even makes many illegal thinks they can reach the deeper levels of understanding without the aid of our plant ally friends. are we that capable as humans, with all the influences of the world- media, tv, electromagnetism, a capitalistic culture, many brainwashed people blindly following, food and all the chemicals in it, in the water, in the air, to find and follow the path with clarity without some aid, be it plants, music, fasting, chanting, singing, dancing, or communing in love with another person.
i, personally, am grateful for the guidence given by nature and her gifts.
