I just watched this:

I thought about how ‘american’ the scene seemed.
How old the crowd participants were.
These people are serious and they aren’t doing this because someone had a ‘good idea’.
This was about their lives as they are now and they laid it on the line.

There is a link at the bottom of my comment.

I had a conversation the other day with a friend. She was explaining why she did not look at any news items of any kind. This was just this past Sunday, more than a week after the Japan quake, of which she knew nothing.

Time, focus and atypical vision make all things possible...

If I seem harsh, or preoccupied with duality sometimes in what I post on evolver, it is merely because the beauty that life offers us in every moment is as simple as it is presented in this short video.

Vrabel says late in the segment that we need a modern day Thomas Jefferson.

from Henry David Thoreau (12 July 1817 – 6 May 1862), an American writer and philosopher:

"Talk of mysteries! — Think of our life in nature, — daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, — rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks!
The solid earth! the actual world! the common sense! Contact! Contact!
Who are we? where are we?"
The Maine Woods Ktaadn, Pt. 6 (1848)

Sometime in the past 2 or 3 years I saw a video on youtube about a teacher/professor who was, with his students, running a vegetable garden on a city rooftop. What has been driving me to distraction (because I can’t find the video after voluminous searching) is how they were doing it.
