Every Step Is Important - Christmas 2008

Every step is important. You know that.. every boring day, every hour where we are tired and lost and struggling, still every step is important. Even when we don't know where we are going, or if we think we do .. how to get there if we wanted. We have to maintain a sense of connection to Life with Faith, a sense of cockeyed optimism, even if we don't have a clue. 

 I think we are building a new economy really it might sound like I am completely nuts or high on something and yes it has been a very relaxing day with family and I did round it out with some music at the Sleeping Lady Cafe, me getting to make a bit of that music myself, still a good ways to go before primetime is ready for me.

  Through all the falling pieces of a civilization lost from its moorings, we will be working our way through. Its all about keeping honest work alive on a community basis, real service, real services, products created with pride and patience.. built to last. That's what we are doing it won't happen overnight. Make somewhere your home. Don't discount how important family is, don't feel you need to move far away. 

  Listen to me. Giving advice like I know.

  I can't help it. 

  We need to know that our strength this country's rise to solvency and financial health will be a very basic affair, people taking care of their business, who understand Respect for Nature and in fact that every small business on this Planet and maybe big business too if they get with the people enough to survive we a have to make it Our Business.

  Our business. I am envisioning a great movement that can grow like a wild weed, if it was Our business to build economic prosperity through the growth of independent businesses. Not because it is some cool political rebellion of sorts but because we have to survive. WE have to find ways of sharing energy, putting each other to work. The intelligence resides in the people, not in our Corporate dominated world. The bigger they get the absolutely dumber they are, plus there only motive is the growth of their Corporation. That's why we are in the fix we are today. They are not motivated by the benefit of People nor the Health of our Environment.

   Dinosaurs will be falling, and it is not our job to keep them alive.

    I know you might say Guy, how come with all your dreaming optimism talk. You can't make any kind of successful business for your self.  Aren't you kind of being hypocritical too some extent. .. and I Sigh, and say..  I talk to encourage myself, too. I have to remember that every step is important, I'll find a way.
