Sea Jade Harvest

These are just a few notes from a trip to Cannon Beach on Sunday, to harvest seaweed and learn what it is about. OCOMers and friends.

What an amazing day. Departure 4:30 am. Aisha’s beautiful red room. Sleepy faces, smiles, hats, vest, asparagus. Other things for each. La Negrita (?) departs. Sunshine coming. Hills, farms. Hills, trees & winding fern gully. Great guides of wood and leaf, soon peaked from under by the sea. Sunshine purrs through. Forshadowing its presence, which we discover reflected in the mono cellular depth of the jade we will seek. The air and water hold it well without grasping a thing, the jade and we take what we can.

The ocean presents herself in light. A guide, too. Day Begins.

Harvest
Sustainability. Pollution limits consumption today; ie. dont harvest in FL.
Clip all leaving an inch or so to grow back. If pull off, shells/coral come too, not sustained. Wash all in salt water except Nori which can be washed in fresh also. Otherwise the cell membranes break down /degrade the plant...?

Bladderwrack
Topical use, bladders filled with muscilagenous substance that will clog your drain if you wash it down, so send it to compost. Can put in blender, make a shake, use as beauty treatment, or cook it to eat. Although Quinn says not as tasty. Grow back very quickly.

Nori
Lovely. Yummy. One cell thick.

KunBu
Survivors of A-Bomb Hiroshima who ate lots of it – poor man food – fared better. Protective
Soup Stock but better to be eaten for full value
Make beans less gassy.
Contain Manitol, sugar that comes out as white powder when dry.

General
5-15g seaweed dry 3x/wk ® ~ kids 1 lb/yr.

A bird with two larynxes can sing two songs at once. Self harmonization. A concious being can step outside (of themselves) to consider two things at one time from different perspectives. There are many concious beings. It is to the level of which seperation from self is possible in any consideration that the struggle is seen. Struggle of man has been fairly consistent. We may beleive critical mass is near. The end is nigh upon us, but it has been thought always. From the first moment the end came and we suffered loss via attachment. Attachment after our inertia lost, we settle in. the yang becomes the yin, energy to form.
