The Past – the Future
January 28, 2009
Another year has passed; the Connection celebrates another birthday. When the Connection began – the first issue was put out in December 1982 – Ronald Reagan was president, Bruce Babbitt was Arizona’s governor, McCartney and Wonder were singing “Ebony and Ivory. ” It seems a lifetime ago, (and for those born in the 80s or later – it is). It’s been an interesting time with high points, tragedy, laughter, loss, kindness and villainy – evolution, revolution, devolution, – it all kept life interesting.

Scorpio
November 1, 2008
Isn’t it perfect that Halloween is celebrated now, under the sign of the Scorpion (Oct 22 – Nov 22)? The veil between the worlds is at its thinnest and ghosts and skeletons and vampires are at home now, wandering the streets. This is appropriate under the eighth sign, Scorpio, the sign of death, sex, transformations and all mysteries. Contact with the other side can happen easier now for seekers.

Our daily routine on the farm involves a walk through the fields to check on the progress of each crop. Stewart and I head out in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the evening with a cold beer. Usually, we have a specific crop in mind – perhaps we are checking to see if okra is ready for harvest or if radishes have germinated. This is the time that decisions are made–what the next days’ harvest or cultivating tasks will be. We tend to get sidetracked. We set our beverages down to pull a weed or two or to squish hornworms on tomato plants and before we know it our forgotten drinks are filled with ants or gnats, we are muddy and sweaty and our t-shirts bulging with cucumbers or some other vegetable that we couldn’t leave behind. (Yesterday, Stewart’s shirt was bulging low with two cantaloupes – a funny site, as I’m sure you can imagine.) Sometimes the decisions made on these walks are tough ones having larger consequences.
