ON BLACK AWARENESS DAY IN BRAZIL
São Paulo
Brazil
Black Awareness Day
20 November 2007
Hi Folks,
OK -- I'm still crazy after all these years -- and loving it. I'm well and thriving with the help of many wonderful friends. Brazil has to be the most cordial place in the world. It seems that this is the time and place for me to come out of retirement.
Here's a current pic:
Here is what I used to look like:
I used to tell a story called
Lessons From the Ancient Forest: Earth Wisdom and Political Action (click to view).
Now, I've got the best story ever to tell. Terra preta de indio (Indian Black Earth) can save the world.
The story needs to go viral, spreading through the Internet. To do this we need storytellers and and song writers and networkers and a lot more conversation.
Maybe you can put it out to your email list(s).
Maybe get the kids (young and old) who are in the internet social networks to talk it up.
We can all do it just by spreading the news - by being a storyteller spreading a healing conversation around the globe.
We need to spread not just an awareness of a terra preta techinique but, even more importantly, we need to inspire folks with the knowledge that a lost Amazonian wisdom showed that large numbers of people could live in balance without destroying the earth.
PLEASE do what you can do.
hugs, lou
