http://evolutionrevolution.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Random thoughts and essays as we meander through the haze. Spirituality, politics, community and love- - practice solidarity here. Thursday, May 01, 2008. The wheel of the year turns, and we all know that a turning wheel creates revolution, right? Celebrate this joyous day, the greening of the year, the lives that we share- interwoven into our community. A few of my suggestions would be:. Dance, ecstatically, alone or with friends. Sit under a tree and connect with it- seriously, this is not just a cliche.

Random thoughts and essays as we meander through the haze. Spirituality, politics, community and love- - practice solidarity here. Friday, April 25, 2008. Celebration of May Day is just around the corner. May Day has been celebrated as one of the eight turning points of the Celtic / old European pagan calendar. It is also a day to honor workers, martyrs. And the eight hour day. Right—we'll get back to political movements in a moment, but now let's go to the European Pagan celebrations of the day. May Day...

Revolution=Evolution: Healing Our World Requires Healing Ourselves
http://evolutionrevolution.blogspot.com/2008/06/healing-our-world-requires-healing.html
Random thoughts and essays as we meander through the haze. Spirituality, politics, community and love- - practice solidarity here. Thursday, June 05, 2008. Healing Our World Requires Healing Ourselves. Last week I spoke Robert Jensen, who is a wonderfully radical author, organizer, and associate professor at University of Texas at Austin. He argues that it is a cycle of disconnection. That as we feel isolated, men may hold onto that one thing that started this cycle, and hold on tightly, they may not...

Random thoughts and essays as we meander through the haze. Spirituality, politics, community and love- - practice solidarity here. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Blessed Samhain, Y'all! Ah, one of my favorite days of the year is here. As happens most years, I am trying to incorporate spiritual practice with a chance to party my ass off. Happily, given my spiritual path, these things are not mutually exclusive. We have to put up with crazy bad media stereotyping, too? To that end, considering the challenges...

backyard plots: I'm for ___ ?
http://backyardplots.blogspot.com/2009/04/im-for.html
Gardening misadventures of an unlikely couple. Thursday, April 30, 2009. I was at the bookstore the other day, and I noticed a display devoted to urban homesteading. This term has really taken off recently, and it's everywhere. I love the ideas promoted by the urban homesteading movement: self-sufficiency, eating locally, sustainability, recycling, handmade vs mass produced, energy conservation, and enjoying the pleasures of a more simple life. I like the term, " homegrown evolution. Another possibility ...

backyard plots: What once was
http://backyardplots.blogspot.com/2009/04/what-once-was.html
Gardening misadventures of an unlikely couple. Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Our yard will never look like this again. The glorious blooms and lush green lawn. The carefully laid bricks that curve this way and that. I tell myself that we will are not destroying beauty, but that our vegetable garden will offer new kinds of magic. But for now, I am a little sad and nostalgic. April 22, 2009 at 4:19 PM. I'm so glad you're documenting all this! April 22, 2009 at 8:32 PM. April 22, 2009 at 9:38 PM. Everything ch...

backyard plots: Templeton
http://backyardplots.blogspot.com/2009/05/templeton_16.html
Gardening misadventures of an unlikely couple. Saturday, May 16, 2009. One of the big problems facing urban composters is that the bins can serve as a smorgasbord for rats. Compost bins can attract large numbers of rats, and the neighbor next door might not be as jazzed as you are regarding your attempts to create humus out of table scraps. . 160;I shrieked like a little girl and instinctively jumped back. Two days later I found Templeton laid out in the center of the lawn with tooth marks around his ne...

Gardening misadventures of an unlikely couple. Thursday, April 23, 2009. April 10th, a busy day for sure. I got off work at 2 pm knowing that a full evening of surprise birthday parties and 80's night at the Crystal Ballroom was on the agenda. But first, there was one other important piece of business to take care of. Procurement of poultry. We had decided to get chicks from nearby Livingscape Nursery. Why Wyandottes you may ask? Marie, I was thinking of getting Wyandottes . what do you -". As I mentione...

backyard plots: What's in your patch?
http://backyardplots.blogspot.com/2009/05/whats-in-your-patch.html
Gardening misadventures of an unlikely couple. Saturday, May 2, 2009. What's in your patch? I really enjoyed the article Marie mentioned in the post below, ". The Art of Self-Reliance. I didn't realize that there was a whole movement of backyard bloggers, but I suppose the more coverage of it there is, and the easier people view it, the more likely it is that people will realize that they too can do it. I definitely like the word urban as part of it. "City" would be good, but I feel that that would l...
