I read a series of books some years back with a Scifi theme. The characters had to contend with a climate, that changed drastically, from one moment to another. They might be in a desert one day and in a tropical rainforest the next. Well it is not quite that bad here, yet. Still, it was too cool yesterday to have a window open, this Morning it was in the low fifties, now it is 87F and very, very, muggy. The air has been relatively dry until today.
Two weeks ago, our weather person was fearing that we were heading for a drought, since then we have had upwards to ten inches of rain. There is more rain forecast.
Jamie did my dishes yesterday and today. I think she is trying to take over my job. I don't really think that; she was being helpful because I had extra chores to do, e.g. going to the feed store and take in the recycling.
I really like doing the chores I do; especially the dishes. Sure there are always times, I would like to do nothing, but that is not a comment on the chores. I enjoy tackling a kitchen, that is in chaos, and bringing order to it.
I was recently reading an article that counseled, doing things out of duty spreads little love. Doing things, because you love do to do them, blesses everyone. I have been extremely fortunate or guided in my life. I, very rarely, did work that I didn't find joyful.
I grew up in a predominately working class neighborhood. Even before I was a teenager, I perceived many of my friends resigned themselves to working in a factory, at a job they didn't particularly like, so they could make enough money to live. Working was a means to living; period.
I knew I had to go to college. When the Korean draft was breathing down my neck, I joined the Air Force. Subsequently, I was able to go to college and then graduate school. During my six years in college, some of my relatives would point out, how much money they were making and hint that I was wasting my time. I had a master's degree and several years experience before I made as much money as some of my working class relatives. What they didn't understand, it was never about money. None of the choices I have made in my life were about money. I needed to love what I did. And I always have.
I am not saying that one needs, to go to college, to find what they love to do. I have known auto mechanics who loved their work and besides, were highly evolved, spiritual beings. You can love anything you find yourself doing. However, I have known people who worked all their life and could only look forward to retirement. I think this unhappy phenomena is just as prevalent among those who did go to college. I remember talking to a 45ish social worker, who seemed to spend all his time dreaming of when he could retire. I was shocked. I was doing the same job he was; I felt incredibly blessed. I really loved it.
I spent my working career as a social worker, psychotherapist and a manager of social services. I loved every position because it afforded me the opportunity to serve. When acting as a supervisor, I told my people, "You can not turn off and on the therapist button. Everything you do, either has a positive effect or not. The person you relate to will feel better about themselves or not"
I have spent my life learning how to experience love and spread it to others. And I have a ways to go.
I know now, that happiness comes from finding ways to be of loving service. This can be doing dishes, taking care of animals, helping your wife, entertaining your grandchild, whatever you do, do it with love.
I hope you are enjoying a three day weekend.

PEACE
Once we intellectually understand the process, it seems like it should be easy to seek and maintain peace. Why is it difficult then? Why do we struggle? Why do we become overwhelmed by emotions and we are not even sure what we are reacting to? We do want to be peaceful. We do want to experience joy.
We are in a process of awakening. As we awaken our egos feel threatened that they will lose control. The ego controls by keeping us afraid that we are neither worthy or competent. When we can expose the ego's machinations to the light of day, we see that its comments on us are nonsense. Over the years our ego's have buried these little nuggets of criticism deep in our psyche. Now that we yearn to "wake up" we are flooded by emotions as these nuggets act as triggers. Although, it is painful to be swept by negative emotions, seemingly out of nowhere, see it as a sign of progress. It is only your ego acting up because it is afraid you can do without it. And you can; for your ego is the source of the fear and judgement you are attempting to put behind you.
When you are swept with negative emotions, just experience them and let them go. Don't try to understand them. The ego will want you to re-experience the self-criticism; don't, that just plays into the scheme. Allow yourself to feel the emotion, then let it go and affirm that you are indeed an unconditional loving being.
As we awaken we need to let go of all the attitudes, prejudices, ideas, judgements etc. that are inconsistent with unconditional love. Sometimes letting go of these things is a rocky process, many times, we don't even know what we are letting go of. Don't judge yourself for momentary doubts, depression, anger or whatever. It doesn't mean you are slipping backward. You are going forward and you cannot fail.
We are dealing collectively with the same issues as we do individually. As a group we are giving up the craziness that has held us back. You can see much of the upheaval, in the world, as a result of the collective ego's attempt to maintain control. The ego know that its time is over; but, it doesn't give up easy. Everything in our attitudes and beliefs that separate us must be relinquished. All mankind is one. All are worthy. All are deserving of unconditional love.

SUMMER
It is only 10:06AM and it is already 82F! It was over ninety for a brief time yesterday. It didn't feel that hot; the air was dry. It reminded me of the times I spent in Western Montana. If it was muggy it would be awful.
Yesterday morning I completed tasks that I originally scheduled for last Autumn. We had a lot of blow down towards the end of the Summer. One of my older Apple trees [Whitney Crab] had a major branch break off, which comprised about a third of the tree. I harvested the wood to be used for smoking meat or other such uses. Burning apple wood gives off a wonderful aroma.
I, also, needed to work in my small orchard of young trees; four apples and two pears. We have had to protect trees, when young, from deer. This is just a recent development. I had fence post supporting netting around the trees; because I couldn't keep the weeds and grass down around the trees, it was a mess. The trees were growing through the netting; it wasn't a pretty sight. Pulling up eighteen metal fence post and cleaning up around the trees was quite a job for this old codger and very rewarding.
Speaking of protecting things from wild life; the coyotes were really putting on a party about 9:30 last night. They sounded so close to the house I thought they must be in the yard or adjacent pasture. I never heard them sound so eerie. They sounded more like hyenas than coyotes. They were laughing up a storm. It didn't last more than a few minutes but was really amazing. I love hearing them and I wish them well, but I was happy to see my lambs were okay this Morning.
Do you feel things getting better? I know many people are struggling. It is easy to get seduced by fear; especially, the fear that other people don't get it. I know, although, I do have faith in humanity, I am familiar with this fear. Last night Bill Moyers had Tom Morello on. I knew nothing of the group RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. I don't know if I would like the music, but the lyrics are great and you can hear them! I was impressed by Tom's intelligence, his knowledge, and, especially by his commitment to create a better world. I don't agree that anger is helpful, but I didn't detect anger in him. And, some people need to go through an angry stage in the waking up process; after all the system, as it now exist, is horrible. It was reassuring that there are people, like Tom, out there doing their best to bring in a new world.
I see the raising up of consciousness every where. That is, when my mind isn't in the gutter; it happens. Fortunately, I am making progress towards seeing a more and more beautiful world. I know that the greatest thing we can do is to see ourselves as great purveyors of love. Imagine yourself brimming with love, that you spill over on people, where ever you go. Watch people light up when you talk to them. That is how we will create a better world; always give love away in our immediate surroundings.

I'm Back
Ahh........... my dishes are soaking, I am finished with the morning chores; hopefully, I can bring you up to date on the Laughing Water Farm happenings.
Sorry for the long absence. We finished the chicken, rabbit, deer proof fence several days ago, but many other outside chores needed attention.
On Sunday our hysterical perpetual teenage ewe had her lambs. {I don't mean to be insulting to teenagers} Last year, she had two lambs, one black, one white; she acted like she didn't know what was going on. We corralled her and we got her to accept one of the lambs and we bottle fed the other. We were concerned that her lack of maternal instinct might be genetic, so we were relieved that the lamb, she did nurse, had a lamb, herself, two weeks ago and she turned out to be an excellent Mother.
This year, Mother's Day, she was running around in a large circle baaing while her poorly licked newborns were lay where they were born mewing softly. She is usually very easy to catch; in fact, she generally nuzzles me when I enter the pasture. Not this time. We picked the lambs up and took them to the barn, hoping she would follow. No such luck; she continued to race around the area where she gave birth. After using all my wiles to catch her, I gave up and captured her with the shepherd's crook. Then we had to drag her. When we got her corralled with her lambs, I held her while Jamie put the lambs up to the nipples. We got them to suck without any help from Mom.
I drove up to the farm store and bought some lamb milk replacer, figuring we would need to bottle feed one or both of them. Jamie and I went out three times on Sunday to put the lambs on Mom [without any noted cooperation].
On Monday Morning the lambs were alert and moving about. It appeared that Mom must be letting them nurse. We checked them through out the day, by evening they were almost frisky. I wasn't absolutely sure they were cared for sufficiently until yesterday Morning.
This Morning, Mom really wanted to get out of her restrictive quarters and rejoin the flock. I thought I would take a chance, as the lambs were strong enough to follow her; I let her out. A mistake, she went tearing around the pasture baaing and didn't rejoin her lambs. I waited one/half hour or so and then we recaptured her and put her back with the lambs. I won't try that again for a week or so.
My lawn has been growing all this time while we have been fencing etc. On Sunday I got my mower out and prepared it for the big job. It needed oil and the tires were low. It started and ran good; but when I turned the switch [pto] to get the blade going nothing happened. I did all the usual magic I preform when it won't run; still nothing. It was fine when I put it away for the Winter. I checked out the electric system and looked for interference with blade revolution; found nothing. My mower is seventeen years old.
Jamie says, "buy a new mower". Huh! What! How can we do that? It is late Sunday afternoon, but we go to Mora, anyway, to see what we can see. We saw a mower we liked, the mowers were on display, but the place wasn't open. Monday, after the chores were done, we went to Mora and bought a 21 horse power Cub Cadet with a 46 inch deck; much more mower that I had planned. I was thinking of 15 horse power and a 38 inch deck. I have mowed about an acre, I think I will like it.
I think that is more than enough farm news. Time seems to speeding up again. The weeks go by so fast. I don't like Spring to go fast. I wish there was a way to slow things down. I love this time of year. These are hectic times for many people and, in a way, it is nice to evolve into the slower days of Summer.
Were heading into a time when it is important to focus on the positive. Forget the petty differences you have with neighbors and family. Pay attention to the love that is always there. We have come a long way, our consciousness, as a group, has been raising consistently. We are able to see through the manipulations of those who would control, more and more easily. This fact, has the consequences, of making things seem worse. The folks, who have been accustomed to controlling us with fear, feel their control slipping away. They are trying everything they can to get us into more armed conflict. They are especially adept at setting one group against another. We need to pay then no heed. We need to use our energy, to increase the awareness of our people. We do this by finding a way to love everybody and everything. Simply, focus, only on what is loving. And do your best not to react to what is not loving. These emotional storms will soon be over. The new world is dawning.

GLOBAL WARNING
We have the most difficult part of our garden fence completed. We should be able to get most of it done tomorrow. Today is a rainy day, so I have time to blog.
When did the acceptance of global warming become a litmus test to decide if one was truly "green" or not? How did the belief take on the characteristics of a religion? Polarization is a deadly thing to the thinking process.
I have been interested in ecology since the early fifties, and even then, I was tuned in to climate change. The competing scenarios then, were between those who thought we were at the end of an interglacial period, and those who thought the climate was heating up from ocean currents, fueled by underwater volcanoes. I chose to accept the latter. I live in Minnesota, after all, I couldn't stand it getting colder.
When the greenhouse effect became the popular belief, I accepted it as most of us did. Something was causing those glaciers to melt. When Al Gore's film came out, that appeared to finalize any argument.
All of us "Greens" wanted to end polluting our environment, now it it was imperative. The solution was simple; force industry to clean up its act.
The proposals for doing so were absurd. Cap and Trade? Carbon credits? An extremely cumbersome system that allows industry to very slowly clean up its act [if at all] and allows them to trade pollution rights, back and forth, all at taxpayers expense. Taxpayers end up paying for the industry clean-up without any guarantee that it will work.
People seemed to stop thinking about solutions. Polarization became so extreme that if you questioned the proposed solutions, you were a "denier". All of a sudden discussion ground to a halt and you were forced to be on one side or another. One could no longer make the statement, "I think global warming is probably a fact but our proposed solutions are nonsense." At least I never get a chance to make that statement.
I know, personally, only one individual who has the credentials of a climate scientist. Like most of the rest of you, I have to rely on people I trust and tune my B.S. detector as finely as I can. This one person, a close relative, believes that the data, as presented, indicates that global warming is real but we are way to late to stop the effects.
How did this polarization happen? Were groups pitted against each other, purposely, in a way, to assure that nothing would get done? Is that possible? I know that when the tea party folks came out against global warming; then I was sure global warming must be a fact.
What do we know? While the debate continues, pollution gets worse. Does it matter if we drown or just can't breathe? We need to rise up and demand that pollution end. We don't need to believe in global warming to do this, and we must do this, if we are to survive {or at least thrive} as a species.
We don't need a corporate/friendly solution. I don't think that is possible. We need to enact laws against pollution and be willing to shut down non-compliant industries.
Of course, readers of this blog know, that I believe, the consciousness of man is rapidly expanding to the degree, that pollution, as we now experience it, will not be a possibility in the new world.
I will be able to point to evidence of this soon.

THE RAINS CAME
The threat of drought has greatly attenuated with the inch and one-half of rain we received these last couple days. We have the possibility of rain, forecast everyday this week. We are behind several inches and the swamps and potholes need replenishing.
I was planning on working outside today. We need to finish the garden fence and there is much, other, outside work to be done. My blogging will probably be more intermittent than usual these next two weeks. It is a little too wet to get much done today, but when we can work outside, I will need to.
I have been learning more about our need to love ourselves. We emphasize our need to love each other; we don't talk enough about loving ourselves. We can't genuinely love others if we can't love ourselves. A few days last week, I experienced a moderate degree of crabbiness [my loving wife might say it was more than moderate]. At some level, I was not liking myself. The ego whispers negativity into your mind's ear. If one listens, without refutation, one is likely to have a downer. You don't have to be aware of the exact content of the whispering; but as soon as one feels the effect they can release themselves of the experience by reinforcing the love for themselves. If you love yourself, you won't treat yourself shabbily.
How do you love yourself? Know that you are innocent! To know you are innocent, you must extend the perception of innocence to everyone. Relinquish all judgement. Practice seeing everybody as innocent. In this separate world, you cannot get into the body of another and see what they see. If you could, you would not judge. If you could, you would see what loving remedy would be successful in helping them give up their hurtful behavior. The more we can see innocence in others, the more we will experience our own. We will experience the beginning of Oneness.
The Sun is out now and my outside chores are beckoning.
