If you had the Spirit you have, but were born into a lot of money … you might make a movie like this now ..

I am an East Bay native; and with my college-daughter and friends we marched in Oakland General Strike.   Our growing urge to connect is potent, and points us towards imagining what some solutions could look like.  Moved and more awakened, I searched online — within our collective internet “nooshphere”  and found these below to help me direct my convictions into a positive, non-violent, collaborative and enlightening evolution towards the kind of world I WANT to help create, and divest my energy from looking only at the failing and fallen … Continued
