Coleen Rowley forwarded these remarkable photos taken by "citizen photo-journalist,” Greg Skog. The indoor rally photo inside was taken by Terry Rogers.

The images are powerful, offer no common theme, and are a perfect example of what citizen journalism has to offer.

The writer will not comment, but will offer that they made me weep for a variety of reasons. Please offer your comments. Better yet, how do these photos make you feel?

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
