so much of the world is on fire.
how can we sleep at night
while many are starving and dying
few others are rich and laughing.
all of the problems are much
too much to comprehend
brain sweating out of every pore.
what purpose is pain felt for others
if we are not intricately tied together
no friends or enemies
simply hearts beating.
the seeds of the fruit seem insignificant on harvest day.
beyond the moment
it is really
the only thing of significance.
the preservation of existence.

An almost succesful attempt at a geodesic dome.
If I would have made the paper rods stronger it would no doubt have been able to stand up.
a poem from awhile ago
Words dripping off the human tongue.
How absurd to not use a comma.
For what reason was language created,
if not to translate the human experience.
Silly thoughts
Hopeless desires,
Monkeys on a typewriter.
Pavlovian control over our desires.
What does revolution mean to our family?
Should we succumb to their desires.
Constant questioning is a privilege.
Let us use it to better humanity.
Whatever is understood is with human deeply in love.
Don’t let it make sense.
Lets us call it for love.

Over labor day weekend I went to a little town called Scott City for the most serene adventure I can remember having. There are some really lovely pictures of it on facebook.
can be found here:

Other than that I have been to check out a few of the other farms around town. Yesterday we went to Drumm Farm. Another average organic farm, although at this one is was invited to come back for a possible work exchange in which Cross-Lines would be able to use space in their greenhouse. Im so down with doing that, these cubicle walls are starting to make me shiver with fear thinking about being confined to them in the winter time.
The other garden that we checked out today is TroostWood Youth Garden. http://kcfoodcircle.blogspot.com/2009/08/troostwood-youth-garden-market-fridays_28.html The leader, Ericka Wright, was a lively woman confined to her wheelchair due to Muscular Dystrophy, but she aint gonna let that stop from doing up a garden. It is completely run by children and teenagers within their community. It was pretty damp outside when we arrived so our meeting took place entirely on her porch where she gave us all good advice on how to bring the community garden together. In short, she said we were doomed because we are only here for a year and solid relationships with anybody will probably be in vain, and anything that we may start while we are here will probably crumble without us holding it together.
Suppose we will do our best.
Thinking about getting a cat and/or a car real soon.
Any suggestions?

Hey yall.
Lately I have been making friends around the area. Last Saturday I rode around the entire city with a bunch of bikers that showed me the ropes of the city. We went into a nice scenic wooded area, the local anarchist bike collective, and then for some good Korean food.
But, my best friends by far have been the Golden Girls. They are named so because all that they really do all day is sit on their porch and watch and talk about everything going on. Their house is right by Cross-Lines so I go and hang out with them for some time almost everyday. They like tomatoes and broccoli and always ask how Bethany is doing.
I was supposed to meet up with a few fellas at the Food Annex today to play a few games of chess, but they never showed up. I hope that they are alright.
Turnips and radishes are looking nice, but our chard is looking pretty yellow. I think I might take a handful or so of compost and put it in a watering can with some over night to make compost tea, so that I can give that chard a nice and chardy boost. I bet you chardly noticed my slightly recharded pun.
