In spite of the unfortunate setback the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association has faced with the dismissal of their case against Monsanto, the movement to expose and regulate genetically modified organisms continues to grow. OSGATA will appeal, and GMO labeling is likely to get on the ballot in California. The issues of transgenic technology are global in scope, as clearly described by OSGATA President Jim Gerritsen in his recent interview on MedicineCrow with David Crow. The interview is now available to the public to download from MedicineCrow for free.
Listen to the audio after the break.

David Crow is known for his visionary ecological approach to business, a cosmological view that keeps the focus on the plants in the center of the mandala. This view was never better expressed than at the In the Garden of the Medicine Buddha retreat in 2009. Just before the retreat, David expressed the entire worldview in a concise, profound, and inspiring talk: The Dharma of Essential Oils and the Flowering of Spiritual Culture.

The Poetic Truth
of Our Biological Existence

Creativity is a fascinating process. At times I have found it to be like an ephemeral breeze, floating here and there without any apparent cause as I walk through the forest searching for its inspiration or sit in silent contemplation hoping it will alight nearby and bless me with an outpouring of thoughts, words and insights. Sometimes it is like moving between waking and dreaming, or descending into the embryonic cavernous space that births mythology, hoping to bring something back that doesn’t evaporate into forgetfulness in the light of day, or worse, reveal the triviality of my mind. Sometimes, it seems more like a river that moves with its own rhythm and direction, appearing and disappearing as it will through the course of days or seasons, sometimes with some rhyme or synchronistic reason but most often without.
