i dream of a place where young people are taught the knowledge without cost. the knowledge of herbal medicine; self empowering, nature driven healthcare growing all around us. the knowledge of farming; growing food to feed yourself, your family, your neighbors. i dream of this place where it doesn’t cost forty dollars or a thousand dollars to learn what we need to be healthy and survive. i understand people need to get paid for their time and times are tough but times are tough, there’s no better reason than that. this is about reconnecting, supporting one another and supporting this planet. for those who are going to have to fight for healthy food, for access to medicine, for real freedom under corporate rule, for crying out loud tell us what the weeds in the ditch can do! teach us college grads in debt, teach us jobless wanderers, forgotten soldiers, we who are not apart of the norm because we have learned the truth. help us to teach the truth. to fight the good fight. to live the good life. i dream of a place where money doesn’t matter as much as sharing.

Amen sista! I think we share a LOT of the same feelings and convictions. Encouraging to be reminded that I'm not alone since I'm living in a place where it has been tough to connect with like-minded people. Keep on keepin' on. And the weeds in the ditch have SO much to offer!

i should come to africa and share your pain!!! you are definitely in a much more commanding situation than me. i shouldn't be whining! or idealistic. i think though we have to start thinking differently if things are going to get better. and us like minded people need to stick together! :)
