The defining moment in my life that shifted the way I was thinking...and brought me to ubuntu.
Great question. Tough to answer.
In the sense of living and breathing and working and playing.
"If you ain't a gardener, you ain't a gangsta! Get gantsta with your shovel, and let that be your weapon of choice."
This started as video I watched and wanted to simply share on facebook. But as I got listening to Ron's amazing vision to change inner city neighbourhoods everywhere, it brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart.
Ron's quotes?
"South Central Los Angeles [is the] home of the drive-thru and the drive-by. Funny thing is, the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys.”
“Gardening is the most therapeutic and defiant act you can do, especially in the inner city. Plus, you get strawberries.”
"If kids grow kale, kids eat kale. If they grow tomatoes, they eat tomatoes. But when none of this is presented to them, if they're not shown how food affects the mind and the body, they blindly eat whatever you put in front of them.”
and THE BEST on doing something:
"If you want to meet with me, come to the garden, with your shovel, so we can plant some shit!"
Revolutionary leader in this man. Watch it and be changed!
On a side note, isn't it amazing that we are taking inner city's now and talking about turning them back into small scale farming neighbourhoods? What a crazy century it's been. Yet this time, we're bringing a ton of technology to marry with traditional ways and with all of this knowledge and passion, we have to get something right for feeding the world this time.
