Kristen showed us around The Angel Valley Organic Farm. The farm has a stand in Austin

Ana showed us around Alma de Mujer Conference Retreat Center. Alma is a project of the Indigenous Women’s Network.

After spending the day falling in love with the beauty and wonder of vegetables/and great friends…I met my Dear Ones/Wesley & he Mama Florinda for coco and the big tree lighting events in front of the capital this Saturday….Life is good/sho nuff indeed.

PA For Obama

IMG_0020.JPG
Old school activism at it’s finest! PA has put forward a letter writing campaign and he is driving around metro Atlanta displaying his sign/and his passion for Democracy.
The sign says:

The young and the old will save the boomers! Obama 08. Yes they can. Yes they will.
I am 83 set me free!
Nov. 4th

PA for Obama 2.jpg
PA sent my daughter and I copies of some of the letters he mailed. Here are a few excerpts:

“…my race is Homosapien (Human), my ethnicity is Afro-American Indian and my nationality is American! I was born October 1, 1925 in Taft, Muskogee, Oklahoma on a Creek Indian Feedman Tract (160 Acres) along the Arkansas River. By the way I am a World War 11 Veteran, a College Graduate, who fought for something I am still Longing for!!”

“…It has taken me 83+ years to discover that Democracy in American does not work!! In principle it is the most beautiful set of precepts known to us!! But, sad to say they are not practised, and the whole world knows it!! What also is not generally known is that many of said precepts were borrowed from the Native Americans already living here!! As my years are waning and our Democratic Presidential candidate needs all the help he can get, I must try to do what I can and have my say!…”

Thats my PA. Ellwyn Keith Perryman. Father/grandfather/family elder/leader/thinker/always ahead of his times…..Always proud/always
showing us the way….telling it like it I T is!
Right on PA
ROCK YOUR VOTE
loudly!
