Turning Point At the MEC

  A turning point is occuring at the MEC.  After 2+ years of recreating structures at the Mendocino Environmental Center, with little focus on group projects, the MEC has been shifting to its old, and creating a new, role in the community.  Many diverse members of the area have been using the Center for activist work again, organizing, strategizing, creating publications, networking, etc. that are really creating the community we all desire to live in.

  I wrote a poem tonight listening to KMEC programmer Sujen’s poetry program called “Listen to the Earth” (Friday evenings) about the beautifully flowering Mendocino Environmental Center, in this time known as the Blossoming in the Mayan Calendar.

People come and go

from the MEC

on a given Friday evening,

many working, researching,writing, emailing, blogging, organizing, strategizing,

their efforts,

blending together

for the common purposes of

 peace,

environmental stewardship,

protecting the wild,

education,

and

social justice.

 

For our own communities,

and abroad,

we work together

side-by-side,

in the same

office,

study,

studio space

that creates the new lifestyles

of co-existences

of loving kindness.

 

I Am Greatful

to see this change that we wish to see

being created

right here

in Downtown Ukiah.

 

It Is Happening,

The Quickening,

The Great Turning,

 and Every Intention

We Make

Is APart

of the Beautiful

Changings.
