Automatic Earth in Athens Winter 2022

Today’s selection – John Singer Sargent Corfu-Lights and Shadows 1908 is a watercolor. The perfect medium for this message.

Om Shanti.

I have homeless people living on my property. They don’t have anywhere else to go. I also have a huge garden (plant potatoes, remember?) that they use to eat from. I have had up to 18 homeless at once on my 5 acres. Some have been problematic. Most not. Currently down to 9.

I also feed a 93 year old woman who lives alone, four times a week and spend at least 2 evenings with her, dinner and a movie. She also gets “Meals on Wheels” for everyday eating. The stuff is absolutely awful, no one could live on it and most of it ends up in my compost. The company that supplies the “food” is paid by government and I’m sure make a killing. It is such a waste to produce such garbage. It is so easy to make delicious, healthy food. Especially if you have the garden that I have. Tonight I am making her spaghetti marinara at her request. She says “If you didn’t cook for me I would not eat well.”

Thank you Raul for everything you do, and for everything you are.

Usually I do my helping and giving in person here in my ‘hood. But this image:

made me laugh in a most excellent way and squeezed some money Raul’s way.
