Raw food at whole foods

They had a sufficiant Living Foods section at the whole foods
headquarters in Austin, Texas.
I tried the mock sour cream, zuchini hummus, and the cashew cabbage
slaw. All very tasty.

But The Best Part of the whole foods extravaganza experience is how
nice everyone is. They smile and greet you, and even say, good bye
y'all!

Living Raw

Hi everyone,
I'm out of hiding and ready to blog for the first time. It's quite a moment of my integration process because - THIS MORNING I FOUND MY COMMITMENT TO LIVING RAW! Sure there's story to it, but basically, it's just more of the same - over & over & over and I can no longer continue to swing back and forth. I see the complacency in my life is caused by not taking a stand.
OH MY GOD . . . no wonder life has been such a struggle. It's finally clear.
Love to you all, Kendra

song sung now

growth spurts and sprouts

sad sad sad
sad sad sad blue
sad sad green
growing over you

turn on the pa
turn down the lights
sad sad sad
turns to happy overnight

sad sad sad
sad sad sad blue
sad sad green
growing over you

happy comes
happy goes
tricks and treats
catching raindrops in my mouth

sad sad sad
sad sad sad blue
sad sad green
growing over you

The Failing U.S. Economy is Not a Financial Problem, It's a Health Problem

Interesting article:

Thought this was interesting...I can see where the co-op is needed and what additional services we can provide. People will be in search for a new education on health. We can start the new collective voice with public announcements, etc.

"The first time I met Trungpa Rinpoche was with a class of fourth graders who asked him a lot of questions about growing up in Tibet and about escaping from the Chinese Communists into India. One boy asked him if he was ever afraid. Rinpoche answered that his teacher had encouraged him to go places like graveyards that scared him and to experiment with approaching things he didn't like. Then he told a story about traveling with his attendants to a monastery he'd never seen before. As they neared the gates, he saw a large guard dog with huge teeth and red eyes. It was growling ferouciously and struggling to get free from the chain that held it. The dog seemed desperate to attach them. As Rinposche got closer, he could see its blueish tongue and spittle spraying from its mouth. They walked past the dog, keeping their distance, and entered the gate. Suddenly the chain broke and the dog rushed at them. The attendants screamed and froze in terror. Tinpoche turned and ran as fast as he could –– straight at the dog. The dog was so surprised that he put his tail between his legs and ran away.

....The spiritual journey involves going beyond hope and fear, stepping into unknown territory, continually moving forward. THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF BEING ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH MAY BE TO JUST KEEP MOVING. Usually, when we reach our limit, we feel exactly like Rinpoche's attendants and freeze in terror. Our bodies freeze and so do our minds."
