"Seeker"

                           "I have been and still am a seeker...
                            but i have ceased to question the stars and books...
                            i have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me...
                            my story is not a pleasant one...
                            it is neither sweet or harmonious...
                            as invented stories are...
                            it has the taste of nonsense and chaos...
                            of madness and dreams...
                           like the lives of men...who stop deceiving themselves...

"The Last Mountain"

i was born...and grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains...and the change thats taken place in my life time is hard to believe...i've been all across this country and lived many other places but in all my travels nothing can compare to these mountains and hills of Appalachia...so when i came across this video...this movie trailer for "The Last Mountain"...it brought such sadness to my heart and tears to my eyes...as i think back to when these mountains were a way of life and not just a way of making money...i could go on and on but i'll just let this video speak...how long will we stand by and watch soooooo many suffer for the greed of the wealthy...please watch this and share it with a friend..."The Last Mountain"...

                                               

                                                             

scale down

life...you either live it...are you let it pass you by...it seems with me...as of late...i've let it pass me by...soooooo busy trying to pay the bills...put GAS in the truck...feed lisa...lucy...zen and myself...trying to make stuff and sell stuff so i can do all these things...spending far more money than i need to...trying to live in this manner that i'm TOLD i should be living...the "american dream"...which i see turning into a nightmare right before my eyes...
AH AH AH...sooooo...whats a fellow to do...as for me i'm changing...in the past my blogging has been more about the stuff we make and the process of making it...thats going to change also...and my blog is somehow going to talk of some of the simple changes we can all make just to try and make the world we live a little better...not sure which direction this is all going...but i welcome any feed-back are comments are ideas anyone has...and for me it's time to "Scale Down"...

i'll leave you with this video by Rising Appalachia...whom i LOVE...which happens to be called..."Scale Down"
