Transition

Earth body aligns with light ray beams. Matter aligns with higher energy/vibration creating balance and harmony. One whole systemic transition from cells to communities to countries to planets and stars. One energetic field of Light. Light gathers the flock. Light inherent in matter. An awakening. A birthing. A rapture in full force circuitry.

I am devouring the Transition Handbook by Rob Hopkins, permaculture guru. I'm reading and highlighting it day and night....unheard of for one who seldom reads. This handbook is a tool in hand teaching me skills to organize a resilient community. The handbook is a goldmine of ideas that support solutions and inclusion. I am discovering that people are drawn like magnets and have concrete things that they want to contribute. It's as if peak oil and climate change are changing our values and we want community that looks different from globalization. Each part/person/community is unique and we want to express ourselves with intelligence and creativity and localization!

The Food Policy Council meeting was excellent. I admire Richard Conlin, Chair. I will work to have a Woodinville rep on the council...hopefully a farmer. I spoke with someone after the meeting who had negative comment about the sustainable city movement. I suggested that the grassroots groups are evolving and want to create bridges also...as this is what Richard Conlin stated during the council meeting. People seem to be defensive about some sort of territory and have difficulty being inclusive and open minded. Transition Towns are inclusive and welcomes those with beards, jeans and manure on their boots as well as those in suits, ties and high heels. It's a time to raise consciousness and one sign is inclusion!
