Good food and growing things

A red delicious apple, peanut butter sandwich, alfalfa sprouts, raw almonds, peppered hamburger and romaine lettuce will be waiting for me at 12:20 tomorrow afternoon.

Sometimes I think my favorite part of the evening is preparing the next day’s feast. I get to look forward to cinnamon raison bread from Positively Third Street Bakery, and its thin layer of freshly ground peanut butter from the Whole Foods Co-op.

Nothing can beat feta cheese and romaine. It is the remedy for any foul mood.

I grow my own sprouts in a jar by my bed. I love waking up in the morning to find the tiny seeds have sprung tails.

Maybe I just like to grow things. In my garden, I grow love and water it with all the hope I can carry from the fountain to the dirt. In my activism, I save what I can and compost the rest.

Maybe if I can change these little alfalfa seeds into something so deliciously meaningful, I can change the rest of the world, too.

News
As usual, I've been up to no good. I write for the UMD Statesman and stay true to my muse with poetry.

Bedtime stories
I'm re-reading my favorite book, The Fifth Sacred Thing by Starhawk, which is about earth-based religion, ecofemnism and nonviolent warfare, all personified in a clan of the future. I'll gladly lend it out, so just ask!

Looking for
the Holes
"When we patch things up, they say, 'a job well done,' but when we ask the question 'why? Where did the rips come from?' they say we are subversive and extreme. Of course, we are just trying to track a problem to its source."
