Rumors, Speculations, and Innuendo
People are bickering in on-line forums, rumors are swirling about the infosphere like flies on shit. The energy seems so negative that you are probably wondering why you are even involved with this crazy trip.
"The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination."
~ John Schaar
If you understand John Schaar's words, then you'll understand how your journey to the gathering may unfold.
However, while you're waiting, you can be preparing. To prepare for getting into the gathering without a pesky mandatory court appearance ticket, click here.
If you're vehicle is in top notch shape, then how about gathering supplies to bring to the gathering? For info on how the food movie works and to help out, click here.

Or plan a workshop that you'll give at the gathering, collect art supplies for an art camp, start collecting food grade 5 gallon buckets, or make hand painted signs or banners with the raps on them (click here for some of the raps).
Rather than succumb to behavior you wouldn't tolerate in your third grader, be one of the folks creating the path to the future. The rewards are so much greater.

Please keep your comments to the point. Any comments advocating violence, sexism or racism will not be published. You don't have to agree with me, but you can't cuss me or anyone else out either. As of 6/11/15 I'm not sure how I will be publishing comments. Too many people just submitting the same comment over and over again and I'm overwhelmed by trying to sort this out. So feel free to comment, but understand I may not be approving all comments.
Awww, wise Karin, your words are golden. See you home, wherever it is!
ReplyDeleteNow is not the time to panic - or spread rumors. Everything is as it should be and always will be. Keep the faith!!
ReplyDeleteI myself have a LOT of personal freedom due to lack of responsibility. However, this is not the case for many. in my opinion, we could be narrowing it down a little quicker, giving more of a chance to ALL of our brothers and sisters who want to come to be able to plan things out and make it work. However, I'm tapping away on an iPad while others scout the forests, so I remain appreciative. I just understand the frustration, even though it is now my own.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Frustration is not an excuse for immaturity.
Right on, Mike! Frustration is not an excuse for immaturity!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWould someone be kind enough to get me in touch with or point me in the direction of those forming seed camp? I've come Home a few times and would like to be more involved now that I've gotten a feel for it. I got kitchen/knife skillz, basic first aid, knowledge of the plant people (although one can never learn enough about those amazing folks!), and a whole lot of love, determination and resourcefulness to share! Also, if there is anyone in Florida (I'm near Tampa area) or along the way going for seed camp I'd love to travel with family, I'm otherwise on foot.
ReplyDeleteNamaste with peace and <3 love <3
