ME MEAN MEME STREME, EXTREME, YEEK!

July 22, 2025

Sometime I just want to scream. Not that it does any good.

Besides, who gives a shit, just who is “right” or “wrong”??!?

Current conundrums . . .

Remember, in any seemingly polarized situation, where we are yanked into vociferously be-lie-ving one thing or its opposite . . .

And yet, sometimes . . . it does seem as if one “side” IS correct, as “proved” by results . . .

That’s at the surface level.

Underneath?

Learn to see any visible imbroglio as imbedded within  deeper bullshit . . .

 

And yet, at this point, it does seem obvious that “real work,” that involves actual physical labor, does need to be valued above the digital bullshit that has buried — or has it incandesced? — the supposedly “highly educated” “intellectual” class.

Okay okay, Ann. Let go of your feverish mind. Relax. Relax!

Plus, remember, re-member. Put yourself back together again.

SHADOW-WORK, damn it!

 

Yes.

Just continue walking, one foot in front of the other.

Who knows where your path may take you?

You’ll find out.

 

What’s there to lose?

After all . . .

 

 

 

 

 

Two Worthwhile Reposts: The One Follows the Other

July 21, 2025

First from Laura Bruno, her reading for the upcoming New Moon in Leo.

And by the way, I think she’s absolutely right about how the many harmoniously configured fire and air energies are uplifting all who are determined to live harmoniously, offering a brand new creation inside our seemingly collapsing world.

This won’t be a good time for anyone trying to hide or perpetrate toxic things, but it should be liberating and invigorating for anyone looking to awaken and live from a more conscious perspective. If you’ve struggled in your personal life with power abuses, oppression, insidious health issues like cancer, or just a general feeling of malaise, think of this New Moon like breaking glass in case of an emergency. Things can only go so far, but even if you catch them at the last moment, that Grand Trine kicks in to carry the day.

This could be an extremely productive and liberating time–on all levels, but especially with anything involving the future. All the planets are in their new signs until September 1, when Saturn moves back into Pisces for the final round. Feel into the new energies. What do you like and what needs to change? Now’s the time to assess, evaluate, reevaluate, and start acting as if.

We’ve been “acting as if” for a number of years here in Green Acres Permaculture Village. And I must say, this year in particular feels climactic: as if we’re now where we’ve wanted to be all along, living in concert with both each other and the land: Growing Community from the Ground Up. 

Here’s the post I put up yesterday on the greenacresvillage.org site. Fun times. And so much of our current thrust has to do with Elisha, our new garden manager (and new owner of one of the three houses), who instructs us as we learn how to be at one with the way nature actually does do her thing! I’ve always thought of this tiny little paradise as a template for the future. That our entire neighborhood — and suburban neighborhoods everywhere — could transform into neighbors helping neighbors grow our own food. And this year, especially, we are attracting others from within the neighborhood — and beyond — to join us in our weekly work parties.
