I was invited to attend a music making last night by a person I met on
MySpace,
Alek, who goes by the handle of, "
Adults are Obsolete Children", who has a number of friends who are into music making, calling themselves
Plane Site, and she also participates, invited us to an event at
Mr. Spots Chai House last night.
I mentioned this on
my main blog, and there is a video there if you want to take a look, but primarily what I wanted to talk about here was the energy. I'm not talking about energy as in physical burn coal and make electricity and smoggy radioactive air energy, I'm talking about life energy, that which flows through everything and gives it life.
One of their pieces is called "Resonance" (if you click on
Adults are Obsolete Children you can listen to a studio version of this piece). Being there struck a resonance with me.
I've related these dreams that I have, first of calamities, and then afterwards of a very much changed Earth, at least in the region I see which is the Pacific Northwest.
I've described physically what it is like, I've described the lifestyle, people no longer making junk and marketing junk, but instead doing what they need to live and spending their free time relating with friends and family. The energy in those dreams is very positive, and up until now unlike that which I have experienced in this reality.
But not last night, last night that energy was there. It was incredible. These people I think are beginning what will be, now.
Alek, the woman who invited us, her ambition now is to start an intentional community; these are designed communities of like-minded people usually with a focus of sustainability, ecology, and often other ideals like love and acceptance of your fellow man and other life forms. She is one intelligent lady, and her friends are pretty incredible as well.
All I can say at this point is that it gave me some sense of hope for the future that I haven't had in decades.
