attempting abandonment: Lend me some sugar...

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/09/lend-me-some-sugar.html

Lend me some sugar. On Saturday we ventured to Tearfund's Whose My Neighbour? This is one of my favourite gems as he speaks to that place we go to when faced with hard calls, safety. If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality. Posted by lucy ar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

attempting abandonment: Got Worms

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/10/got-worms.html

2000 of them, in our laundry room. They are our pets, they all have names beginning with W (but we don't know them all yet.). It is our latest experiment in urban low carbon living. It is pretty gross. They are new- they arrived through Royal Mail yesterday- and seem to be in their escaping stage (I had to google it after we arrived downstairs this morning to find one wandering around our candy floss machine.). They eat our tea bags and other waste. And turn it into goodness for our herbs.

attempting abandonment: addicted to oil

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/08/addicted-to-oil.html

This is a fab little video from Good mag. You know, I really dislike glad wrap/ cling film. I really do think our grandchildren one day will look at us in disbelief and say "You used up the oil to wrap up your. As Good magazine say "if we're addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem.". Posted by lucy ar. They may also question why we didn't just teleport down there or use hovercars like they will soon. Yes, true, true. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

attempting abandonment: just a spoonful of hope

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/08/just-spoonful-of-hope.html

Just a spoonful of hope. I have been thinking about hope. It seems in the last week there has been an incident or a story almost everyday that has given me hope and restored my faith in people and God. I reckon it is vital that we make a thing of these things. otherwise the stealthy ink of despondence can just seep on in. Here is a performance of Gabriel and the Vagabond:. Posted by lucy ar. Amazing song, just knew you'd appreciate him. x. May hope guide us always. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

attempting abandonment: Power to the People

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/10/power-to-people.html

Power to the People. I went to the Climate Rush on parliament the other week, it was planned on the anniversary of the suffragettes rush on parliament. I was monumentally hit by the absolute urgency of us reducing our emissions. It is literally a case of now or never. There was a great little article on the BBC website yesterday about the importance of communities in the fight against climate change. Check it out here. How can we harness this huge potential? Oh and you must check out:. Posted by lucy ar.

attempting abandonment: Summer read?

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/07/summer-read.html

I just wanted to point out This. Book, produced by Oxfam and written by Duncan Green, From Poverty to Power. It is downloadable for free and is a pretty comprehensive look at current inequality and the solutions (Active citizens: you and me, people.) There is a little bit on the importance of faith in which Oscar Romero even gets props. Hope you are well and radical as ever. Posted by lucy ar. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

attempting abandonment: Songs that bring hope

http://lucyar.blogspot.com/2008/10/songs-that-bring-hope.html

Songs that bring hope. We went to the End Child Poverty: Keep the Promise march and rally through London yesterday. It was massive, at least 10,000 people turned up to hold the government to the promise they made 10 years ago to end child poverty by 2020. Still a third of UK children are living in poverty. Today I was listening to an old Delirious song and as I belted it out I thought of the thousands of different people who came yesterday, representing possibly just as many beliefs, faith positions,.
