Emerald City: Starting a Green Entrepreneurs Program in Bayview Hunters Point
by Starhawk
"I...asked him to tell the group about his experiences growing up in a village where the young people were taken through rites of passage. The elders would take them out of the village, for weeks or months at a time, in their age-groups, and teach them what they needed to know to move from one stage of life to another. We don't do that much in Western society, and so young people find their own rites, often involving drugs, guns and danger, too often ending in prison or death."

We Shall Not Be Moved: Police repression, official mendacity and why OWS has already overcome
by Phil Rockstroh
"One's anger is vital to one's existence; it is a valuable gift; therefore, it should not be squandered...no need to waste it on fools and idiots. When rage arrives, invite him in; his presence will fill the room with alacrity, and his surging vitality will allow you to push farther and deeper into the unexplored regions of your soul."

Although he walked the six blocks, he decided not to take the dog; he felt as if Oscar would not like the gloomy atmosphere."

Nine Paintings by MOO | Monika Mori
"My color choices often come from an inner voice that has guided me throughout my career. When painting I dive into a revealed world and I feel as if someone is offering their help and encouragement. My complex character rebels against other shallow decadence of others. My mission is to wake people, to excite and motivate them! My paintings carry these desires within them—qualities that can't be properly expressed in words alone."

"Eclipse Landing: 60 moons @voodoo rock"
by Cecelia Chapman
"When I got up at 4:30 am a spectacular eclipse was in progress for about half an hour, just as I drop-kicked and destroyed one of 2 cameras. Then the moon fell into fog destroying the rest of the morning's planned filming. It took 5 days in a row playing around fog and clouds with the moon, until of course the last day when it was completely clear...."
