Northwood is... . Northwood is dynamic: Saying the things of fast-moving wheels. Saying explosive possibilities. Total expansion of horizons that have not lived more than once. Rocketing to unexplored worlds; coursing in challenging climes. Pulsing the credo of the cosmos: exploding expanding; exploding expanding. No end in sight, ever. The astronomical drama of endless development, pertaining to manifestation of more purposeful galaxies. Initiating a continuous crescendo, rising to the stars; inciting a more productive astronomy. Emancipating formulative impulses which become source material for what we have searched far afield for. Exemplifying a concentration of courageous exploration combined with practical operational maneuvers. Northwood innovates and re-innovates: Saying the shining words of new ideas. Saying new beginnings that do not originate in the dogma of dependent philosophy. The catapulted power of new thought forms, replacing exhausted phenomena. Accomplishing new destinations. Filling a need for new portions of old routes. Thundering old mountains into new profiles. Saying a revival of healthy passion for independence. Saying a creative gospel advocating self-administrated solutions for one’s problems; employing the ancient cogwheels of hard work. Endorsing the footwork of private initiative; the reorientations of the individual along historical guidelines; a return to the original version. Redefining the characteristics of who-owes-who what. Believing we cannot become rich by distributing edible gold from government granaries. Thinking all the time: it is better to reaffirm the accent of your shoulders and direct the exodus of your fate. Northwood is now: Saying fruitful revolution seeded in the matrix of today. Saying the excitement of what is currently existent. Reveling on the immediacy of now. Stamped with the trademark of now. Winger with worldfeel; surpassing antiquated boundaries. Channeled in codes of what is new. Repeating the wording of is; not repeating the wording of was. Not wedged in the narrow crevices of the ever-present past. Knowing that new worlds are hewn by passionate dedication to what is occurring. Living inside the heart-beat of the hour; diagnosing the pulse of the present. Envisioning a tomorrow animated by an explosion of ideas that are fresh-formed and upwinging. Northwood is: The pushpulse of dynamics. The fresh-flow of innovation. The eye-click of now. Northwood IS. farm Mh oe
