Just wanted to bring an amazing organization I found online to light for everyone! The organization is called "Not Far from the Tree" and for anyone who hasn't heard of it they go around Toronto/GTA and harvest crops such as apples from abandoned orchards or for people who are not able to harvest themselves!
For the last few weeks I've been attending weekly Buddhist teachings. In one class, we learned about a method for purifying karma, called Offering Food to Obstructing Spirits. These spirits inhabit another realm, unperceived directly by us, but they know us, and interfere with us. They can cause emotional outbursts, illness, and other bad conditions. This might be out of jealousy, anger...
At the United States Social Forum in Detroit I concentrated on three areas: reclaiming the commons, organic farms and the end of mountaintop removal. My idea was that this trinity of issues make a revolutionary combination.
Just thought I would share a service my girlfriend and I have recently started using and are really pleased about. As far as the San Antonio area, you are not just limited to Whole Foods Market, Central Market, or Sun Harvest for healthy and natural food.
The USDA has alarmingly and mistakenly announced that they do not believe that consumers care whether or not GMO's are a part of our food supply and our agricultural production.
Approving GMO alfalfa would significantly harm the integrity of and access to organic food, as well as the livelihoods of organic farmers. We need to show themthat we do indeed care!
This group was set up because it seems our choice to healthy living, growing and buying organic food is at stake, the stake holders being those corporate giants such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies promoting genetically modified foods , controlling all herbal and health suppliments and patenting every life form under the infamous Codex Alimentarius trade commission.

We are human beings,
not a production line,
let us remain spirit,
Not human swine.
The earth, our birth right to roam free,
Our forests,
"To grow your own herbs, all you need is some terra cotta pots with drainage holes, high-quality organic potting soil, and a window sill that gets at least six hours of light per day. A southwestern-facing window is your best choice for good light.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
