Jen -- check out Dharma Trading Co. ... they have all the supplies and I'm sure you can find eco-friendly ones. They are located in San Rafael, but have an excellent catalog that I've used for years...

The Secret Joy of Growing Old

The secret joy of growing old:
The new perspectives that unfold.
No longer needed every day;
No expectations come your way.
The years of toil are...

YES! Thank you, Larry ... this expresses so well the vision that has indeed been growing in the cells of me as well. I have been encouraging people to focus on this new reality growing around us...

Some of us come from just right here
And hold our West Coast traumas dear ...

Rather than basic intelligence, perhaps it has more to do with people's direction of sight. Most people are constantly looking at the world as it passes by, watching as it retreats into the past....

I've been down for a week with some nasty virus, and if it had been preventable with a shot, I would have preferred the shot -- and I would have preferred not to spread the virus to my friends and...

Between the worlds, a neutral space
To catch our breath and find our place.

The world to come, an empty slate,
