The Sky Is Falling: a speck in time. |

When scientists declare the sky is falling, some people scurry for safety, some go about their business like ants serving the queen, while others scratch their heads and wonder who they should follow, if any. Even better, take a look outside and see what's up with the sky. So far, not much has happened, other than this miracle called life, although some call it a mistake. It seems it all depends upon which side of the bed one has arisen from.
No matter the mood, these days, scientists, theorists, theologists, and the well read internet surfers might well lead one to believe that the earth, primarily the galaxy, including the sun, is going through some major changes that would seriously effect planet earth and its inhabitants. There exists many studies, books and documentaries on the subject that appear to be quite convincing- almost to the point that one might believe that in order to survive, you'd have to build some kind of underground fortress. Before reaching for the shovel, you may want to hear some counterpoints that just might be the remedy for calming the nerves.

Raw Goat Milk Kefir
While other countries will arrest you and put you in jail for selling raw milk of any kind, here in Costa Rica we are still free to buy, sell, trade and consume natural milk products and enjoy all the incredible healthly benefits. Raw goat milk kefir is Available from ecojoya and at times at the San Isidro Feria. Call 8888-7500 for orders.
What is Kefir? Kefir’s tart and refreshing flavor is similar to a drinking-style yogurt, but it contains beneficial yeast as well as friendly ‘probiotic’ bacteria found in yogurt. The naturally occurring bacteria and yeast in kefir combine symbiotically to give superior health benefits when consumed regularly. It is loaded with valuable vitamins and minerals and contains easily digestible complete proteins.

The internet to some means freedom. To others it represents the evil of our modern age serving as the greatest deceiver and distractor, of all time, from our true selves. But, somewhere in the middle, when kept in perspective, the internet can be a very useful tool for working towards an objective. Which brings us to the center of this discussion- the new website called Costa Rica South. it was designed and built with no other reason than to serve our growing community here in the Southern Pacific Region of Costa Rica and those that may want to visit or move here.

There are many in this world that, when faced with bad news, either are too distracted by daily distractions to notice or sit and blog around complaining that someone should do something about it. There is yet another less popular bunch of bananas that exist who realize that there is not much of anything sensible one can do about these diabolically huge occurrences. So they seek higher ground and head for the hills of Perez Zeledon, an expansive district in diverse southern Costa Rica.

There are those that are concerned about what would happen to Costa Rica and it's communities if the rest of the world started to crumble. What if imports stopped, fuel shortages or other natural disasters took place? How could we rebuild our local communities independently of the outside world? A group called Open Source Ecology is starting to provide the answers. As an extended community, we should lead up our own efforts to secure our independence and autonomy to preserve and maintain the quality of our lives.

So many people from my past who find me on the internet ask why I moved to Costa Rica. Well, I tell them, maybe you should sit down because the answer is a bit long if you really want to know. When we lived in the US and attended monthly potlucks, one of the topics of conversation was whether Nirvana actually existed and if it did, where was it?

Jetsons In The Jungle: WiFi in the Rainforest with a Solar-Powered Internet Tower! |

When I first arrived and bought the property of what’s now the Buenaventura Retreat Center in this hidden and serene valley in Costa Rica, there was no electricity, no land lines or cell phone service, no TVs, no washing machines, no refrigeration, no ice, and definitely no internet!
And lets not forget to mention the road conditions back then, a 20 mile 4×4 only drive to town took nearly 3 hours over cloud forest covered mountain ridges and through lush and dense valleys of primary rainforest on a bumpy, rocky and often very muddy back-country dirt road. That was 2001… Buenaventura in the Flintstones era.
