Slow Green

So, what I am liking about all this painting the town green madness, is that so much of the product appears to be coming from nontraditional outlets. Outlets, no less, and doubtful that these companies aren't watching their bottomlines, but hey, they aren't multinational. yet.

am happy about that. but also overwhelmed. is consumerism going to be so diverse from now on? i love it. but have been in a hurry when shopping. when doing everything. so, this all ties in with slow food then. against fast life. eat slow die old and all that. great slogans, but could this be the life for me? a revolution that goes backwards. i'm in. cuz, really, i have always been a little slow~

Pretty/Amazing

Went to the grassrootsgreen thing last night. Drove home feeling hopeful.

Just before turning through an intersection, watching petrol powered cars trekking through icey streets late on a dark cold Thursday evening, perhaps shopping for holiday fare, it occured to me that while hopeful, I feel a tinge of sorrow. Are we seeing the end of an era? Yeah, I'm cool with that- real cool with that. But wow, looking around, I just feel a bit sad. Life as I know it and all that.

I love the possibilities, don't mistake me. And am so hopeful that we can make some real, meaningful changes to our world and how we live on it. Just, hmm, how to say it, I feel mournful. A bit.

Ready to rock in the future soon enough. But for right now, wow, the past and present is quick dying around us. So many changes. Huh?

oh and the pic. photovoltaics from Sarah Hall Studio. Solar power, no kidding. Definately things to look forward too. Thanks for sharing this Jon Frincke.

Oh Great

Apparently divorce hurts everyone. I can speak to that, but little did I know that it hurts our home as well. (though I can say that we would both agree-holy cow, did i say agree?- that our one slim financial resources are now in shreds- i don't believe we (he) considered the earth in all this mess).
found on yahoo, so perhaps you saw:

what is wrong with him?

he must have had a labotomy. i mean really. it was a tough year. the toughest yet, but why give up? i hope i never come to understand what it is like to give up on someone i love.

Thanks for coming over Jennie. Sometimes I just can't document their sweetness enough. Now how will I ever choose an image for the holiday card?
