Desert

Greetings to the Natural World

The Sun

We now send greetings and thanks to our eldest

Brother, the Sun.  Each day without fail he travels

the sky from east to west, bringing the light of a 

new day.  He is the source of all the fires of life.  

With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to our Brother, 

the Sun.

now our minds are one.

Most of us need the eggs....

It has been one month since arriving back in this little high desert town. Many moments have happened, many dreams have been understood, many laughs, and tears and sighs.  A focus for my intention is rooting.  The grass roots spirit of my longing is taking hold to life and all that it has to offer.  The beauty keeps reminding me of the need to always climb.  Higher and higher.  Into the deep essence of what I am and what I have.  

I have been riding on the bicycle around this hilly town. A core is finally found.  There has also been much observing of these random surroundings.  While riding I take it all in.  I see the truth, I see the facades, I see love.  Opportunity.  

The gardens tempt me.  Like lovers waiting to be loved.  I envision the chance to take up shovels, prepare for the water and grow.  So many chances to learn more this season and give a little more back to the earth.  I have been paying attention to the rhythms around me.  In the clouds.  In the wind.  In the bright blue sky.  The smiling faces which always pass by.  Backyard connections are what I look forward to.  Helping.  Growing.  Giving.  Recieving.  Sharing.  It's all happening.  

One Worth

We made it a rule that the youngsters should

not be asked to do what the teachers did

not do, and therefore when they were asked

to do any work there was always a teacher

co-operating and actually working with them.

Hence, whatever the youngsters learned they

learned cheerfully.
