Blue the flute man brought his collection of ceremonial flutes to the courtyard, accompanied on guitar and accompanying the guitar of Todd the former flute maker.
The twin piped peace flute brought transcendence to the gathering, a peaceful spirit and a call to kindness for all.

Today at Commonweal, Megan Matson of Mainstreet Moms, Steve Matson and students of the Regenerative Design Institute had a conversation with Michael Lerner.
The subject was “Mapping Local Resilience in Bolinas: Looking back through the Bolinas Community Plan history and Looking forward to the answers we’ll need for a thriving future.” The event was co-sponsored by The New School and Mainstreet Moms.
The key to our sustainability is community, as community is what brings all aspects together. We can look forward to much good work to improve the commons and support community. This project has been underway for a few years now, and they bring their findings to us “just in time”, to quote Michael Lerner.

Martine had the idea this morning, when we were taking pictures of last night’s notes, that we might have a discussion board.
I installed this one today.
This is a place where anyone can start a topic or take part in a conversation. It’s whatever we make it into.
There are just two topics now. There are plenty of topics for conversation, so maybe this will grow as we figure out what it is.
You can read it without registering, but to add topics or post you will need to complete a simple registration form.
If you have ideas for this and would like to moderate, let me know by sending email to admin at sighbo dot org.

Let’s just say the border patrol has seen better days. Recent violence brought the town together last night to hear from the county investigators and to talk about the issues raised to a crescendo by the attempted murder of Ricky Green last week.
I’d say the cops have most of the facts as to the events of that night, but they’re still trying to get the witness reports to align themselves. No rationale shook their view that this was a vicious attack that’s rightly charged as attempted murder. Events leading up to the beating suggest that the border patrol has perhaps run a muck. Someone suggested we put the signs back up on Highway 1, a radical thought.
The town has a different issue at hand. We’re not in the criminal justice business. We’re in the living sane lives business. What are the factors that led to this? How do we work together as a town to restore the community to health? Here are photos of the notes taken last night. Click here to open a larger view.
There will be another meeting in two weeks. Thanks to all who contributed thoughts and ideas, along with funds for Ricky’s recovery and for the youth program that’s now forming.

Alvin Toffler would have seen this coming. Timothy Leary tried to explain it. George W Bush brought it home. The greenback is over.
We’re seeing a move back to the sand dollar. The smart homie lets the wealth wash up with the tide. This is not apparent to all.

If you’re still in Bobo, you are not on the lam. At least that’s what this reporter is hearing.

On the weekend of the solstice the town gathered on the beach, on the wharf road side this year, to greet the babies and remember those who have taken it to a different level.
Happy Birthday Ron Garrigues.

News comes that the plight of the light brown apple moth and the plight of the atmosphere are again on divergent paths.
The fix is in, as they say. In the deal, the apple moths have agreed to pick up their pheremones at local dispensaries in lieu of receiving aerial sprayings. No spraying anywhere over our water district, a good thing.
A groundswell that went viral in a good way. some say veye rall.

Judy Molyneaux has her art on display (and no doubt for sale) at the Gallery this month.
She’s published a book filled with her work, so if you have run out of walls, get the book, signed by the artist, including the uniquely Molyneaux bar code sku, specially adapted for the work.
