should we twitter it immediately? or wait???
i thought of how devoted both are to publicity for a good cause . . . mccartney's work for the environment and diet and animals. . . harrelson's exciting documentary "go further" IMDB. . .
and then jean louis recalls the oxygen bar in west hollywoood . . .
Jean-Louis, renowned from Louis XIV ( say quatorze), has such an array of gorgeous francophone and international friends who continually delight with their lovely manners.
kirby said Jean-Louis has such a graceful way about him---a timeless old world charm---it is infectious---and no wonder he has so many friends!!!!! it seems he was lucky to assist paul in obtaining some potassium rich coconut juice . . .
and really in los angeles, celebrity becomes a daily affair . . . i instantly thought of stella mccartney and her commitment to fur-free, leather-free couture . . . and the fair-trade diamond she wears---certified not-a-blood-diamond.
what is essential too, is remembering that the focus is outward now---we aren't speaking so much of low-carb diets, but of low-carbon diets and how our lifestyle choices impact the planet. How can we eat in a way showing reverence for the earth, and the people on it, beset with the crises of water shortages, desertification, epidemic, trans-mutational hybrid diseases, and all the silent killers, like anxiety and depression.
it was a pleasure yesterday morning to spend a long time with a young fellow discussing nutritional recommendations for optimum well-being. He walked away with magnesium, a comprehensive herbal liver cleanser, a list of nutritional recommendations, and Annie Jubb's lifefood recipe book which you can get here at the store or at north atlantic books.
it's hard to contain the joy and excitement about such luminaries visting the store. But i am chronically thinking of one of my favorite songs "heartland feeling" from the beck album, golden feelings. The refrain, he/she "is only a person, who doesn't know ****, nothing happening, that's about it." beck on people.
which is all so complicated, yes we are only people, even sir paul is only a person. but what is so magical is that time and age and life and history have led us up to these moments, where we might choose to do something beautiful for the planet, and all humans. and choose to be inspired, invigorated. choose to have heroes.
or not.
and so really, i think paul and woody won't mind us flipping out a little, because they have been such passionate activists for the earth, our health, and animals. I think they know full well the magic of their golden touch---to inspire and invigorate our neighborhood, and a commitment to organics and ecological living.
we are honored, obviously.
but what would be even more profound is if we all might find ways to love the earth, fight for the poor, treat our bodies as magical sacred things, and have compassion for others and ourselves.
to be inspired, and to find music as a way to heal the world . . .

it was lovely chatting with a yoga teacher who dropped by. he loved the chili and gave me advice about how to stand . . . and i felt lifted up . . . and we discussed crafting an ecotopia . . .and visions for greening the entire neighborhood . . . affordable yoga . . . feng shui . . .
