I love the way the words “Autumnal Equinox” roll off my tongue. It is all hummy and soft at first, and then becomes crisp at the end. The light of Autumn lengthens and there is a golden glow to the late afternoon air here in Tucson that gives me the first confirmation of seasonal change […]
Why are Acts of Domestic Terrorism Ignored by National News?
As a person who is associated with progressive political groups and an information junkie intrigued with how we as a people create systems of meaning and belief, I sometimes notice patterns to which other people give little attention. As a progressive who lives in Arizona, I see patterns of extremism all around me, and have […]
Tucson to Pecos to….
Sunday, July 15, 2012 Volcanic blips in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere west of Las Cruces. I just realized that we will be spending the next day going through Texas. I haven’t take this route for years and years and years. It has probably been since I was coming back from D.C in 2004 or […]

Synchronicity and Hope for America Found in Arizona, Of All Places

Al Franken Stumping for Rich Carmona in Tucson
I’m very hopeful right now. I attended a political event tonight for Rich Carmona who is running for U.S. Senator from Arizona. Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken, was stumping AZ with and for Carmona today.
It was fun to meet Al, and to hear what he said about Rich, but the whole gathering made me have hope for Arizona, and the U.S.; Al was psyched about Carmona, the place was packed, much bigger turn out than expected, and people seem truly energized and inspired by this amazing guy.
