Hey--Teachers leave them kids alone. Awesome!!! Thanks Waylon

Perhaps I can shed some light as to why I choose to be one of the "early suckers." My first inclination is to take a moment to share how it is I view sustainability. largely I see it as the ability-to-sustain and so elephantjournal is an online publication which I read and appreciate therefore I have no problem helping in the ways which I can, for instance in this case it is in the form of donation. Like listener supported radio which also happens to be some of my favorite (SomaFM/NPR) I donate/support there as well cuz quite frankly I see it as a fair exchange, my donation is commensurate with the value I receive. Also I like the community feel/aspect the act of participating...again it's personal right? I see myself as a verb so that feels right and natural for me. And lastly I resonate with the DIY/self reliant aspect of it, meaning I am not expecting some one else i.e. an "advertiser" to support it for me. Anyhoo long live listener supported/reader supported mediums such as these...Viva la ele!

class act!

there are NO secrets in the universe only where you pay attention.

while reflecting upon Pattabhi Jois's passing, it is the sense of lightness & humor that all those who received direct transmission from him possess, that I seem to remember most...
