This time of year is always very special to me. In many cultures, there is a time of celebration of bounty and harvest, of people gone but not forgotten and all things past; it is a celebration of life before the symbolic and very real death of winter in the life cycle all around us. I made a specific effort this year to open myself more fully to the energy ebbing around me and it came to fruition.
It was because of a very special series of events: a Medicine for the People concert, learning to allow myself to expand my inner circle without fear, a crystal bowl meditation and a chance meeting with a Rainbow Unicorn
- that I found the ability to reconcile my love and faith in science and my belief in the metaphysical into one conscious ball of intention, directed at changing the things I bitch about the most and lessening my cognitive dissonance.

In short, the universe told me to put my money where my mouth is and I'm not one to back down from a challenge. - hard nod-
I'm starting an effort called "Common Ground" - it's going to be a model program for grassroots activists across the country for taking unused plots of land owned by the city and turning them into perma-culture gardens that will produce food used to feed the people that overflow our local homeless shelters, food banks and church pantries (regardless of how I feel about the ORGANIZATION of religion, the people in them do some damn good things sometimes).
I'm hoping to expand the effort into educating people about the living conditions of people, especially children, right here in our own city, country. The main goal of "Common Ground" is to break the problems we face as a society into smaller, more manageable, groupings so that some real change can happen locally and spread out from there.

Wish me luck.
