Make no mistake. Vast GMO monocultures and Roundup herbicide are the main reason for the Monarch butterfly decline. Monsanto and the agrichemical industry are fully aware of this. Boycott GMOs. Boycott Roundup. Save the Monarch.

"Follow your bliss." - Joseph Campbell on The Rapture of Being Alive

Joseph Campbell
1904-1987

My general formula for my students is "Follow your bliss." Find where it is, and don't be afraid to follow it. 


BILL MOYERS: Do you ever have the sense of... being helped by hidden hands?
