Give it to me Raw

“How can you buy or sell the sky?
The land?
The idea is strange to us.

we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?

Every part of the earth is sacred to my people…
If we sell you our land, remember that the air is precious to us that the air shares its spirit with all the life that it supports. …

Teach your children what we have taught our children–that the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
This we know.
The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth.
This we know.
All things are connected like the blood which unites one family.
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
We did not weave the web of life; we are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves…
(chief seattle 1890's)

Hi Elise, I take it that the high price is gladly refunded if it "doesn't take".

Baby, this answer rocks. I understand it completely. I did quite a lot of pills over a 2 year period in my 20s and got to experience all of what you described in your 1st paragraph. When I keep my raw diet pure and stay away from nuts, I feel the ...

Full disclosure - I work as a therapist. Yes, it helps. But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...

I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.

with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.

Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind. She was tough, tough, tough, tough. Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.

Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG

It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
