when a friend introduced me to green juicing in the morning while living at the beach, she suggested i have fat in my stomach before drinking the juice. it sounded right, and i really enjoyed the idea of more than just juice. the surprisingly lovely “pulp salad” a small pile of pulp (green star juicer–the best! twin gear—easier on the veggies, more enzymes, less pulp) leftover from kale, celery, parsley, cucumber,ginger and lemon with sliced avocado, hemps seeds (two good fats and excellent omega profile!) and a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt and squeeze of lemon. delicious and full of fiber—and consuming the “whole food”. i feel very satisfied (and vibrant!) after this meal. i continue to drink green juice with more hemp seeds as i enjoy my pulp! yum! let me know…!

thick, old, wise manzanita branches reach out along the ridge paths between the young tan bark oaks and bishop pines holding down the landscape. and waiting in stillness for the first big winter storm…

being with the old today. and slowly integrating the new…
as a four (on the enneagram) i love the old, rustic or primitive…the melancholy of dust, lust, memories. what number are you?:

i love the huckleberry bushes, the bishop pine and manzanita nearly blossoming! iphone nature photography. my friend and colleague deb asked me this question today: what is my experience as i connect to nature through my photography?
love.
as i stand carefully next to the manzanita bush to reach a shot of some lichen,
i am pulled deeply into the moment with these beings.
they are different of course but so joyous.
they ground and celebrate simultaneously.
they are my mentors.
unfortunately i had to crop this image so this web version does not exactly represent her work, however you probably get the idea…fabulous…i especially love (am seriously blown away by) her “bark” series (this photo(originally):Madrone 2007 #29)— see marna clarke’s beautiful work in january at the bolinas museum: http://www.bolinasmuseum.org/special_event10025.html

AMY GOODMAN: What is the effect of climate disruption on cultures?
VANDANA SHIVA: The most important disruption of climate havoc on cultures is fear. Peaceful communities start becoming scared. For example, this year, as the monsoon failed in India, and its failure was much more extreme than normal droughts, farmers have waited to get a crop, and they haven’t got a crop. They become afraid.
Beyond a point, as the water disappears, because your groundwater hasn’t being recharged, your rivers and streams haven’t been recharged, beyond a point, conflicts emerge in local communities, which is why the G-77 constantly refers to Darfur as linked to climate change with the disappearance of water from Lake Chad.
AMY GOODMAN: Explain.
VANDANA SHIVA: As the rainfall has failed in the sub-Saharan Africa, Lake Chad has shrunk. The communities that used to be supported in a very generous way by that lake are having less and less water. Pastoralists and settled agriculturalists have come in conflict. It so happens they belong to different religion. This has been presented as a religious conflict. It’s really a conflict that emerges from climate change and climate change degradation of already degraded environments.
