And that, I think, was the handle – that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark – that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Welcome back, me.
I have been visiting many farms, creating new walls with cob, slightly tending to the garden, escaping to ukiah, discovering back roads, talking, laughing and dancing with new people, reminding myself to slowing down for every moment. The wonderful farms I have had the privilege to enjoy are; Nelson Family Vineyard where they are experimenting with their Grain Project, Mendocino Organics using grants to fund a biodynamic CSA, and the Be Love Farm in Vacaville providing the food to local Cafe Gratitude. Ive been involved with the Magruder Ranch, which is a 5th generation family Ranch that is offering sustainable meats and retreats!
Im most excited that i recently had a picture published with a story in the Ukiah Daily Journal.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a whimper, but with a bang!
news of theoretical work bolstering the proposition that the universe may be a hologram. The story begins at the German experiment GEO600, a laser inteferometer looking for gravity waves. For years, researchers there have been locating and eliminating sources of interference and noise from the experiment (they have not yet seen a gravity wave). For months they have been puzzling over a source of noise they could not explain. Then Craig Hogan, a Fermilab physicist, approached them with a possible answer: that GEO600 may have stumbled upon a fundamental limit where space-time stops behaving like a smooth continuum and instead dissolves into “grains.” The “holographic principle” suggests that the universe at small scales would be “blurry,” its smallest features far larger than Planck scale, and possibly accessible to current technology such as the GEO600. The holographic principle, if borne out, could help distinguish among competing theories of quantum gravity, but “We think it’s at least a year too early to get excited,” the lead GEO600 scientist said.
