All righty you thespians and their ilk. As you may have heard, a feature length movie is being made here, and my home is a main set. There are some group scenes and the production crew is seeking a good number of background actors. Modest compensation for modest commitment, but I bet it will be fun! Let me know if you want to know more. PM me!

Leaving the patient/visitors' lot at VCU, I saw these revelers looking up expectantly. Driving west through the city and the Fan, I saw clusters of folk doing the same wherever there was an expanse of sky. Not much traffic, so I could enjoy the blow by blow NASA.gov show as it moved across the continent, at stop lights, of course.

Friends, I figure if you've been around here for a while, you know about Twin Oaks Community, where the best tofu has been made for at least two generations, and thousands of excellent hammocks and hanging chairs have been made and sold to the world, and many many books have been indexed.
Vegetables and flowers have been bred and hundreds of people have lived, been born and even died. Buildings were built, and Twin Oaks has offspring communities such as aptly named Acorn, nearby.
One Twin Oaker, Pam Dawling, headed up the gardens for many years, and wrote numerous articles and books about growing food. Once I heard her say feeding the community from those gardens was like having a year round CSA for 100+ people. But it was done, mostly by hand and with grace.
Well, a wildfire on the solstice happened. Read Paxus Calta-Star's narrative here. Paxus, I'm holding you all in the Light and will tell our Quaker meeting Richmond Friends Meeting about it in the morning..

Shortly after the equinox ritual called the element of air, wind blew hard enough to send plastic chairs flying around us. When we called water, clouds blocked the sun and it felt for a moment like…

This mother of two went to the Super Bowl rally with several relatives, many of them injured in the gunfire. She died at the hospital.

On November 14, American Indians arrived in Washington, D.C after a march that covered 1,103 Miles in Leonard Peltier’s Walk to Justice. In support of this action, I submit this episode of Lightly on the Ground featuring James Short Bear telling of his life and the history that is his story.

ShireFolk Farm is among Virginia's legendary small family farms who supply so much clean wholesome food to our communities through farmers markets, producer owned cooperatives, natural products stores and even mass retailers.

This is an old fashioned episode of Lightly on the Ground, one such as you might've heard back when Sunny Gardener's mission was to simply cover the food system.

I met Logan Tweardy of Shirefolk Farm selling poultry and eggs at the Birdhouse Farmer's Market. We got to talking, I heard that deep story about our Virginia growers and our economy.
