a tale of two kitchens

the first kitchen is that of alberto's family
the second that of his parents
one is filled with plastics, metal and propane
(also trash, scraps, children, chickens, and cheese in the making)
one is made of earth
with clay pots, fired by dried cow dung
in one spanish is spoken
in the other, the language is aymara
two kitchens
sperated by 100 yards, 1 generation, and a whole world
two kitchens
connected in love, life and family

blessings on them both

blog is a silly word

frost

i love you. and thanks, allways.
the equinox has brought such wild shiftings.
after this last year of filling and firing, a heart ripping season.
the first frost was tonite.
a killing frost. and the cold and yellowed leaves
and the aurora and grouse have come and
eaten what was left of an idea,
and now i am hurt, happy and free.

i may come, or you may have to come.
but now i will sit with the cold air
and let this gateway tear away what it will and
see what is left afte... read more

in for a moment...

and back out again. to where i came from. to where i will go. to where i AM although indoors. but just for a moment.

what if i soon died? i would have spent the majority of my life inside of these silly cages. it is a very scary thought. sad.

there are many addictions that we have to overcome. most i know of all are rooted in this leviathan of culture we allow to grow.
there is a lot of confusion. i guess. people seem confused.

spending a very large amount of time outside away from ... read more

poo absolutes!

why does loving the earth beautifully and gently have to negate direct action when it is appropriate? i see no contradictions. mamma bear just wander around, living well on earth- then oh, gosh, other bear wanna eat the babies, time to fight. in my experience it is a lot easier to take the silly absolutist positions on non-violence when one is not faced with the immediate threat of death, not all have that privilege...

if my lover is being assaulted by someone perverted by civilization, i ... read more

stuffs

i have kinda been wording a bunch in the Permaculture tribe in a thread called "1491"

topic is on permaculture, gathering/hunting, health and happiness among other things. there are also some very good insights presented by others in that thread too so it will be more fun than just hearing what i have to say.

i think this is a link....
