The baby chickens we bought for sustenance, they are called broilers, are now five weeks old. They are almost big enough to roam free. We raise them until they are eight to ten pounds. They are a wonderful thing to bring out of the freezer on a cold Winter day and roast in the oven. We, also, have lamb. We only have one extra ram lamb and we will probably keep him until Spring, as he was born late.
Our garden is doing great. Jamie put up several packages of peas and we will have an excess of beans, onions and potatoes. Our laying hens keep us in fresh eggs and we have a few to give away. These old biddies are getting old, some at least ten years old, it is a wonder they lay at all. I hope to replenish the flock this Fall.
The weather has been unusually hot, but bearable; the mosquitoes are barely tolerable. As I mentioned before, the Summer is flying by.
Despite the supposed tranquility of Summer days. I sense an urgency in people. We can feel the changes that are coming upon us. Every day the economy seems more and more on the verge of collapse. Or has it collapsed already? The big banks are teetering; the extent of their criminality is beginning to be exposed.
Folks, also, feel an urgency to get their own acts together. We know that a new age is about to emerge; an age in which the individual acknowledges their oneness. We will see that everybody is us. Our assumed separateness is just a lark. Separateness can be fun, if you know it is not true. It is just an experiment in this particular illusion.
We will see the need to treat everybody as we want ourselves to be treated. Are you ready? No more judging your neighbor. No more judging yourself. The universal acceptance that all are loved unconditionally. The recognition that we are all here to serve each other.
The ego will fight you tooth and nail and attempt to sabotage any gain you make. Its only life is in separateness. But you cannot fail; it is universally ordained, you will succeed. Evolution is evolution. I wrote before about how the ego tries to hold you back and I will touch on it again.
It would seem to me that it is time for people to come together for the creation of healing communities. As the old world collapses and the new world emerges, there will be many lost souls that will need help adjusting. Many people will struggle physically and emotionally; they won't be sure what to believe or who to turn to. I, actually, don't think there will be many survival issues. Greed in not a value among ordinary folk and most of us are willing to give, every thing we can, to help our neighbors.
Sitting in my little piece of paradise, I don't know to what extent communities are forming. The people in our area are aware, that we need to be available to help each other, in case grocery store shelves become barren. In a farming community that is an issue fairly easy to solve. One of our neighbors has talked about supplying milk for the neighborhood. We could supply eggs and Jamie plans on going into cheese production on a larger scale. The emotional, intellectual, medical etc. needs of a world in transition is a different story.
Think about it.
Well my dishes are waiting for me.
Peace and Love, Gregg
