Re: Shadow

[The Korrows]

Dear Markess,

Are you in Minnesota? I just returned from a Sierra Club conference at
Kentucky State University Farm. Mark Ritchie (president of the Institute for
Agriculture and Trade Policy www.iatp.org) was the key note speaker the
night of the plane crash. Of course he was a close personnel friend of the
entire Wellstone family, and it made for an extremely touching lecture by
Mark on the concepts of Sustainability and Survival as they relate to
agriculture, environment and the future of this planet. I am sorry about
this tragedy.

Wendel Berry also spoke about the need for continuous dialog and
redefinition, to keep the concepts such as organic and sustainability alive.
In a personal converation, he told me, in response to concerns I have
regarding our own KY Dept. of Ag Organic Certification Program falling apart
as a result of the USDA impostion, that 'its got to be about Trust'.

And in his talk (Wendel Berry) , gave a new definition for sustainable.

1)Nothing is wasted
2)Perenniality (of both landscape and the people on the land)
3)Diversity

 The Gemini MOON Conjuncts unaspected SATURN at 4:01 AM CDT -5GMT, and goes
 Void of Course for
 2 hours and 9 minutes. Everything is tremendously quiet. This latest
 experience of the collective Shadow
 is something to take stock of. I don't know about anyone else, but my own
 dreams have been insisting
 on the presence and acceptance of a very personal Shadow during these
latest
 collective tragedies.
 Shadow never disappears...we can only do our best to accept the darkest
 aspects of our personal
 Psyche as essential to the process of attaining full awareness of Being.

 My level of paranoia is nearly palpable with the loss of Well*stone.
 The shock is measurable though.
 I guess in comparison to the DC area folks at least in this case there is
a
 feeling of culpability not just the unknown.

 There is a rhythm and a field however hard to divine.

 In Love  Light
 Markess

 Christy--

Markess is in Wisconsin, I believe, but that's just like being here in
Minnesota--where it's also cold and cloudy.  Sen. Wellstone was my beloved
senator.  He represented me--as I often said:  Wellstone's MY man.   Now
I'll be borrowing Markess' wonderful Sen. Feingold.

My first awareness of Paul Wellstone was when I used to work for a
bankruptcy attorney during the farm crisis in the early '80's.  The trustee
was needed to handle all the farm bankruptcies.  Paul Wellstone worked with
a group called Groundswell.  They protested at bank foreclosures and forced
farm auctions.  They made a difference and his popularity with farmers is
legendary.  The real farmers are REALLY sad.  A lot of people are REALLY
sad.
