Well I'm leading, and I have no idea where this is going either. Is that a comfort or is it absolutely terrifying? Today I will go to my mother's for Thanksgiving. We are currently under a cloud of cold hostility and I considered just driving down to DQ for thanksgiving, to kick start this notion that the true spirit of thanksgiving is salvation for the white people at the hand of the indians. But it's rather late to advertise such an event and I extracted a promise from my brother, in exchange for me going to our family thanksgiving this year, he'll sponsor whatever event I get organized for next year. There's a lot to do, and a lot to organize, so I'm considering moving onto the property at the end of this year. The Solstice would be a propitious time to begin. If all goes according to plan, I will set up the Iconoclastic TP on the property but I will also have an RV and a generator - as well as the set-up I gathered for my Burning Man experiment which includes a satellite dish and modem and wireless and solar panel. So I'll continually be in touch with those interested. Rudy Al James, has changed his life and plans to completely devote himself and his energy to this project. Rudy has lots of friends in high places and a style of leadership that is irresistable. That gives me great encouragement that what has begun, is going to continue. In indigenous terms, Rudy has agreed to commit himself as chief and pay attention to what I have to say as shaman. My immediate goal is to reclaim my native heritage (1/4 Cherokee - but it's the BEST 1/4) so I'll feel more at home with others who have tribal affiliations. I've never learned much or paid much attention to that romantic aspect of indian culture, its time to change. And then there will be many, many meetings. And then will come plans, then structures. I picture a lot of earthworks, in-ground houses, hills and swales placed according to solar orientation and permaculture principles - integrating the teaching of Masanobu Fukuoka and... and... and... Rudy points out that when you're dealing with a baby, you don't force-feed them steak to make them grow. And how much more careful do we need to be when we're dealing with just an embryo? So it is going to take time to grow into our final shape and right now, none of us have any idea of what that will look like. But many of us believe with all our hearts, mind and hands, that this baby is going to survive, and grow and be great someday. Happy Thanksgiving, all. Special hugs and love for Marsha.
