On the outskirts of Ojai there's a food store in Minor Oaks called "The Farmer and the Cook." Steve is the farmer and Olivia is cook. "The Store" is famous in these parts or infamous for hearts that that don't like funky and spunky. Anyhoo Steve is also a writer and he posted a food for thought sample yesterday at the oPost which was so delightful that I read it twice. Good writers and good farmers are a rarity but to get two for one is a minor oak miracle.
I'm not a farmer or a cook but I do know how to cook rice, beans and kale. I play at gardening myself and have fair success with zucchini, kale, tomatoes and that's about it. Steve is obviously a connoisseur as appears from his writing and his customers. I'm not but I enjoy his food for thoughtness mindfulness. It shows there is life on planetojai after all; if you can be that into food you also ought to be able to be into thought too.
So Steve and Olivia (don't you love that name? sort of rhymes with Olive Oil) are a kind of divine couple a couple of miles from Major Oaks Ojai and their store is worth the trip from anywhere on earth. Actually I passed Steve in his field out at Help Ojai a couple of days ago on my bicycle and it reminded me of the good old days a couple of milleniums ago. Millenium Twain hisself lives further on down the road towards Mama Sita Lake. Steve and Millenium are two awesome writers and farmers so much that I wonder how they managed to get male bodies written into their jeans.
I'm reading Jacques Derrida's "The Postcard" so I've got postcards on my mind (assuming I have a mind). I think of the Ojai Post Office tower at the corner of Signal and Ojai adjacent to Liberty Park where the locally famous Ojai Womam Fountain flows about a stone's throw from the tower setting up a nice vulva-phallus connection. At least I conjecture that the Love Government and the Red Brown and Blue Party were conceived due to the conjunction of fountain and tower in the first house of the second sun about forty moons ago.
La Ojai Valley Epost (LOVE) Blogstream is one of three blogstreams that flow into Loverearth Aeonity, the other two being LEG and RBB (Lover Earth Government and Red Brown and Blue). Since folks here say I have a tendency to be ungrounded the Post hitches me down to ground zero. Did you know that all letters and postcards are love letters and love cards? Each tap of the finger and thus each letter are originally some configuration of the Lover's body developed from primitive and originary signs in the love culture. Now that's real food for thought and delicious lovscious dessert.
