Dear Many Hands

Twice in December, I discovered transformative moments in the most unexpected events in Northampton, once thanks to the Celtic band Dicey Riley and once thanks to a Smith College choir. I suspect such surprise does visit itself on other aging people.

The sense of convergence and solidarity that accompanies more, shall we say, independent assertions of transformative togetherness among younger people can suddenly transpose itself on new venues. Latent connectedness, mediated by time, shakes loose as quietly as snow, and as beautifully.

Do I speak of religion? Not entirely. Faith seems to me to be God's gift to us more than vice versa, but the religious lenses by which people connect to a past in a more fragmented world seem to me to have mourning deeply ingrained.

I speak of spiritual connectedness that is not as continuous as church membership but comes as epiphanies, moments of confirmation, of realization of broad and deep coordination, despite separations and troubles and with faith overarching all of that without any expectations whatsoever.

I have believed that aging would magnify the retrospective in ceremony: family, tradition, old friends, continuity, all of which are vulnerable to change and death. Yet Christmas is about a beginning, and New Year's, and Hanukkah is about miraculous continuity. This season taught me about the unexpected, for sure.

Dear Many Hands

Senate lawmakers got a big surprise this fall when thousands of natural and organic consumers flooded their inboxes with letters, calls, and faxes expressing your support for strong organic food standards. Today, I'm pleased to report that your effort has paid off.

Under pressure from grassroots constituents like you, the Senate backed off its attempt to dilute our organic food standards. Instead of submitting a problematic amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations Bill (H.R. 2744), Senator Leahy called on the Secretary of Agriculture to study the issue of organic standards further.

Tell your Senators and Representatives ''hands off organics'' during conference negotiations. With your help, we will send a powerful message to our elected officials and government agencies that we organic consumers value our food and are willing to fight for it.
