"Happy Birthday Occupy Wall Street ... thoughts on Year One"
Fifteen years ago, I ran across a book, "100 Most Influential People in History," during one of my dalliances to my local Marin County bookstore. "Influential People" was one man's assessment on exactly that. But how he determined his rankings was the interesting part. They weren't always the reasons you would think.

Ah, so you might not be the only Mushin to cross my path. The community I was speaking of is called A New Gaia; and it is located HERE on the Ning platform. A New Gaia is the third online location of a community started by a man named Brian Johnson, under the name Zaadz. Since he is an entrepreneur first and foremost, it was not all that long before he decided to sell our community to the Gaiam Corporation, which was not a positive development for our community. Before long (within 2 years), they decided to totally shut down the community and close its doors. They gave us only 2 weeks to remove years worth of content. A New Gaia is the "lifeboat" that our community director of the time, who's name is Siona, created to give us a place to land. It is an "activist" community of environmentally and spiritually aware people. Hence, Occupy was quickly embraced there.
I so appreciate our new friendship and look forward to explorings ways to collaborate on projects in the future. Blessings alwasy....c:-)
Mushin,
Thank you. I am honored to be your friend. I am looking forward to sharing stories with you, and to seeing "The Last Samurai". Is that by Kirusawa? I loved his movie "Dreams" and also "The Double", and "Dodeskadin". Have you seen any of those?
Wishing you rest and sending appreciation for your caring and learning and sharing,
Helen
