AND LIFE GOES ON



The Spring that has refused to spring; has sprung! Yesterday, it got up to 78 F; quite a dramatic change. We were able to sit on the screen porch and it didn't get cool until late. I don't think I closed the doors before 11:30 PM.

Today, is sunny and beautiful. It is already 61.7 F.

The good news is: one of our ewes has completely recovered. The bad news is: the ram has gotten wary of frequent visits to his pasture and has decided to upgrade his challenge. It is very difficult, tending to the needs of the down ewe, and keep an eye on the ram, at the same time. I would like to, get her up on her feet, every couple hours. I don't want to deal with the ram that much. With some help I should be able to get her out of the pasture and on to the lawn, where I can help her without interference. My son, Matt is coming to help me measure and plan for hooking up our pastures. Between him and son, Noah, they should be able to get her out of the pasture. I will keep an eye on the ram.

I am still not ready to continue my discourse on the need for healing/learning centers. I don't know where the beginning focus needs to be: physical health; psychological health; spiritual growth; education; how we have been lied to; where are we going; where have we been; who are we; is there an end to this list?

I suggested in a previous blog, that we begin with our reconnecting with the Earth and Nature. That would be an overriding theme; but, what would actually draw people to the centers looking for help? Would it be the confusion of the collapsing world? Would it be illness? Would it be the awareness that we need to learn to live a different way on planet Earth? Would it be all of these and a whole bunch of other things?

We know we don't want to live in a world of disinformation anymore. We know we don't want to support rapacious capitalism anymore. We know that everybody deserves to be loved and feel cherished. We can no longer tolerate inequality; especially if it means hunger, homelessness, poor nutrition and inadequate education. We can no longer support violence against our fellow Earth dwellers; we know, there isn't now, and never has been, an excuse for war.

We are waking up. We are realizing we can live as one. We know love, joy and peace are within reach and our right as human beings.

We are to see more evidence of the collapse of the old way of doing things very, very soon. How can healing/ learning centers help us in this transition?

I need to quit writing I have dishes to wash and Matt will be coming up the driveway any minute. Do I hear clinking in the kitchen? Is some guardian anger doing my dishes?

Love and Peace, Gregg
