Have tried a couple of times to join the CSA, but he is *very* popular. No complaints about that, mind you...there should simply be more CSAs!! :)<br /><br />In my old house, I was a member of a food co-op run by a woman who was an avid Steiner-ite. A boxful of surprises every week. It was wonderful. Her daughter, who was a music student of mine, introduced me to Julia Butterfly.<br /><br />I do enjoy these interwebs of life...not the electronic ones (though they can play a part), but the overall connections. Life is rich indeed.ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-37061897230011715702009-09-06T21:48:11.327-07:002009-09-06T21:48:11.327-07:00ScentScelf, Farmer John is John Peterson.

He kept talking about how much it looked like his family farm. It's an interesting symbol what has transpired with America and the land. I have this deep feeling that as we heal the land we will heal America and our own essential nature.Illuminated Perfumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774665887359640600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-23632791024058126392009-09-02T14:58:34.632-07:002009-09-02T14:58:34.632-07:00I can't wait towatch this.

His stories of coming home from school and harvesting fresh chestnuts just thrill me. Thanks for sharing this Roxana....the trailer made me cry;)Beth Schreibman Gehringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355038705688697682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-79823130217073971592009-09-02T11:20:44.582-07:002009-09-02T11:20:44.582-07:00I have the same experience with dirt as a groundin...I have the same experience with dirt as a grounding agent, which makes perfect sense since it is "earth" element. It's also fascinating how different soils have their own olfactory terrain. Here in our local mountains the dirt smells dry and sweet.<br /><br />Have you heard about Farmer John? He is in your neck of the woods, lucky girl!Illuminated Perfumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11774665887359640600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220599765887146751.post-89852846375081875612009-09-02T06:16:06.714-07:002009-09-02T06:16:06.714-07:00Mmmmm, dirt.

And the various ways the olfactory (and often tactile) input are a permanent part of the memory of certain events in my life...or how I sought it out, as a way to process/cope/integrate. <br /><br />Will be most curious to hear how you work with this... :)ScentScelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12264276265890227820noreply@blogger.com
