It was high up in the coconut tree that I found my place in Hawai'i. Sometimes swinging in the breeze, others high and peaceful, seeing the jungle all around. Perhaps the best definition of "abundance", the coconut tree is perhaps the most useful tree in the world.

Strangely enough, the coconut tree is actually a grass. It provides water and food, both of which can sustain one for quite a while. The palms can be woven in to anything from a hat to a wall. The trunk is used to make drums.

Where the cocnut grows is a place that can be free from the system for the strength it takes top harvest and utilize the gifts the coconut tree provides is the same strenght it takes to be indipendent.

Solution: Root #1

commercialized egos must be put in check;sophistication must be exposed:

divisive/ destruction of true community.

This is the product of our culture.

Coorporations thrive off of dysfunctional communities; organized communities need nothing but the abundance of nature.

How to get there from here?

ralley around nature, the time is now.

aloft
thrown up like a hand full of change
coming down like a feather

adrift on a thought in the wind
the sun shines and the wind never stops
I found you once in the breeze
I followed you before I knew your name

I heard a song on the sidewalk
I let it go
now I sing it to the wind:
will I find you again
