C+C music factory

Every Thursday we have something we like to call c and c. It is short for cleansing and creation. We all come together at 9:30, hold hands, make announcements, remember why we are here, and then get a 2 hour job of cleaning some part of the land. Basically, its our time to clean the bathrooms. Lately there is more cleansing and less creating. Theoretically we would have options for creative work like painting a mural in the bathroom, not just cleaning it.

We didn't have any options like that today, but we did have some new off the wall excitement. We started out by circling outside behind the lodge. It is a nice sunny day, but why behind the lodge I wondered. I soon found out that S was giving a short recycling demonstration. That seems normal and very useful....then the absurdity set in...in my mind. R was videotaping with his little camera...I am eating my egg in a basket breakfast... D and J are facing the other direction...A has crazy hair... alot of us are dazed and would prefer to still be sleeping...
S shows us that things are not being placed in the proper cans for trash and recycling. When this happens he has to dig through the trash. For full effect, he dumps out the can marked for paper only. To our dismay we find a paper bag filled with non paper items. Then the investigation starts. The bag was from DQ! Oh the horror! Who would eat at DQ then put all the trash in the bag and put it in with recycles! *someone who ate at DQ apparently*
All in good humor, we started pointing fingers. We come up with a pack it in pack it out sort of rule. We thank S for showing us that we need to be a little better about living what we teach.
Part 2. We move into a sunny spot to choose our jobs for the morning. We make announcements such as.... FDA lady is coming to confiscate the rest of our recalled peanuts....coconut bliss party tonight... lets step it up a notch and get the place clean for our season of visitors...
and we choose our jobs.....bathrooms....lodge....dorms....office area....driveway pothole filling...kitchen....kitchen....anyone?
two people finally slowly raise their hands
'which one of you really wants to clean the kitchen?'
naturally we needed to rock paper scissor decide this one
I say naturally, but that doesn't mean this is how we always make these decisions...but in this moment, it just seemed to be the obvious thing to do.
M and M went into the circle for this serious situation. We all eagerly watched to see who the winner of the kitchen cleaning would be.
Too bad R wasn't videotaping anymore, cause the reaction of the winner was pretty funny.
We all dispersed to our chosen jobs.
Now I am here writing about it, and the day has just begun.
I still need to write about last nights PC.
