Sitting inside Gaslight Coffee, as people I know from various pictures in my life stir around me, reflecting on just completed thank you letters and happy birthdays, cards received and read, and this song comes along with the snowstorm, outside throwing wet confetti at faces, sidewalks and windshields. When this song turns on, I feel alive, relief and warmth. Thank you, wind gods, for blowing this song toward me.

"Goodbye Horses," Q Lazzarus

You told me, I see the ride But it always falls I see them come, I see them go You say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong, I must disagree, Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong, Won't you listen to me"

You told me, I've seen it all before I been there, I've seen my hopes & dreams Lying on the ground I've seen the sky just begin to fall And you say, "All things pass into the night" And I say, "Oh no, sir, I must say you're wrong, I must disagree, Oh no sir, I must say you're wrong, Won't you listen to me"

Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you Good-bye horses, I'm flying over you I'm flying, flying, flying over you

Seed Kites - dispersing wildflowers through the air

Seed mobile, featuring aerodynamic properties of seeds (helicopters, gliders & spinners, oh my) Semilla-O-Rama with La Huerta Roots & Rays Community Garden in Pilsen, Chicago, and Pueblo Semilla/Pilsen Seed Library on March 23, 2014

"The concrete highway was edged with a mat of tangled, broken, dry grass, and the grass heads were heavy with oat beards to catch on a dog’s coat, and foxtails to tangle in a horse’s fetlocks, and clover burrs to fasten in sheep’s wool; sleeping life waiting to be spread and dispersed, every seed armed with an appliance of dispersal, twisting darts and parachutes for the wind, little spears and balls of tiny thorns, and all waiting for animals and for the wind, for a man’s trouser cuff or the hem of a woman’s skirt, all passive but armed with appliances of activity, still, but each possessed of the anlage of movement." Grapes of Wrath

Ja Rule’s Prison Cookbook Was a Joke, But Prison Food Is Not

In a place where appealing (or even just tolerable) options are few and far between, it is unsurprising that food can be used as leverage. A particularly ugly example of this was revealed last month, when correctional officers at York County Prison in York, Pennsylvania were caught challenging prisoners to fight each other and passively succumb to physical blows from the officers in exchange for lounge food and coffee. “Lounge food” is food from the prison staff’s cafeteria. David Wright, the prisoner who provided a written statement about the experience, fought another prisoner and then allowed an officer to spray “pepper-foam” in his face—all for a little bit of higher-quality food.

The Salt March, also mainly known as the Salt Satyagraha, began with the Dandi March on 12 March 1930, and was an important part of the Indian independence movement. It was a direct action campaign of tax resistance and nonviolent protest against the British salt monopoly in colonial India, and triggered the wider Civil Disobedience Movement. This was the most significant organised challenge to British authority since the Non-co-operation movement of 1920–22, and directly followed the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence by the Indian National Congress on 26 January 1930.

A pear is picked to pair and play with wine, ice cream, and spicesLook closely though, for leathery skin conceals a bad pear's vicesPears picked and placed atop the sill may quickly be forgottenso flies and mice will have their fill, of meely flesh gone rottenSo scrutinize and fondle pears as ripening persistsand when, to touch, the pear is there awaits you pear-fect bliss

Slum Busters: Remembering Chicago's Community Garden Roots

``I am somebody . . . prove it. Help clean up your neighborhood."

They call themselves Slum Busters, and they`re doing what they can to change the blighted appearance of their North Lawndale neighborhood.

Every Saturday and at least one other day, when the weather is good, members of the group can be seen in vacant lots, swinging sickles to cut the tall underbrush and gathering up bottles, cans, and paper.

Junked cars have been towed away from lots through their action, and discarded tires have been recycled into planters to be used next year for flowers. Members of the group plant grass and flowers in vacant lots and in front of homes.
