Love Songs

Its violent, its nautical, its raucous, and its a beautiful love song.

Revolution

As it turns out

when most people tell you they want to change things


what they really mean to say

is they want to change 
the size and color

of the room 
in which things take place.

- Dallas Clayton "Revolution"

I have discovered Dallas Clayton's totally cool poetry, books, artwork ... I want to wallpaper my house with it.

Small Ways to Make a Big Difference

Small Ways to Make a Big Difference is a free e-book compiled by Raam Dev is full of really awesome 'small' things you can do to make the world a better place.

I haven't read it all - but so far this idea, from Ali Dark, is my favourite:

Vote with your money

I want to introduce you to the wall. The wall holds up a raging dam of human potential. It's held together with money – the money the same people spend.  Change how you spend money and the wall collapses, and the world changes.  Drastically. Forever.

If you think that soda is bad for people (which it sure as hell is), never, ever, ever, buy soda. That's a vote in the ballot box. Same goes for meat, alcohol and other plagues on humanity.

Want more organic food? Bite the bullet and buy organic. That's a vote for the organic industry and more power to them.

Every dollar in your pocket is a vote. Don't forget it. Every single one is counted. It's a failsafe system. It's perfect democracy.

You can download the e-book from here.

I love it when it rains overnight after I have planted out new vegetable seeds!

Today my 3 yr old and I planted radishes, purple carrots, orange carrots, and a couple of varieties of beans. And now its raining. Fabulous!!
