CSA target audience? Invitation for a guest poster

My friend wrote about her experiences with an intro meeting to the concept... I'd like to invite Amethyst to post her piece on my blog... May I post it here? It's right on target. I'd also like to hear about anyone else's experiences with Community Supported Agriculture.

Jonathan Harris, TED Talk: Our individual and collective stories

I've been taking some time for rest and personal exploration: reading Jung, watching movies on Netflix, watching and enjoying TED Talks, and sleeping in the middle of the day.

Please take some time to go to TED to investigate the amazing thinking that is presented.

I am moved to share one particular TED talk, which is a bit arbitrary because of all the other worthy ones I've seen lately. I suppose it's the nature of his work that makes me want to share it on the Blog.

This talk by Jonathan Harris, about our individual and collective stories, will serve as a fantastic introduction if you aren't familiar with TED. http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_harris_tells_the_web_s_secret_stories.html

Here are some links to some of the projects he mentions:

We Feel Fine: http://www.wefeelfine.org/mission.html

Universe: http://universe.daylife.com/

Jonathan Harris's website: http://www.number27.org/, which is where I'll leave off because all of his projects are linked there.

Enjoy.
