The challenges and rewards are greatest where two systems meet.

Wendell Berry said something like
            We have assumed what is good for us is good for the world.
     He said We need to switch a few words to say
              What is good for the World is good
                 for us.

Honor the beauty even on this "Edge" of time

  Honor the beauty, the adaptability, and the interconnection of living on this edge"y" period of time.

 I am celebrating and honoring the Indigenous People of our land this holiday weekend. May we learn from all The Nations and share their reverence for the earth.

Beauty
    
 
                                                                 
 Adaptability     

Interconnection

    

Be Aware, Be Strong, and Be Honorable!

Mother Earth on the Edge

We are just back from a Re-Energizing trip to the "Edge" of Costa Rica and Panama. The beauty of Manzanillo is spectacular.




This trip hammered home the importance of Sustainability. This area was once a major Cacao producer (total mono-culture) and a fungus wiped out the crop. Now the battle concerns the balance between small Eco-tourism / small land owners and large plantations of Bananas/ and Large Hotels.  

We saw the endangered Great Green Macaw thanks to the efforts of the ARA Project -- a small staff and volunteers bring these birds back to the wild.


We also were fortunate to observe a 180 year-old female Leather Back turtle, the size of a VW beetle , lay her mass of eggs at the Gandoca Preserve. It was a life changing experience. These organisms swam with dinosaurs and our inaction (and destructive habits) could wipe them from existence.

On this Earth Day #48 it is more important than ever before to Change the Way we live. We need to reflect daily on our actions. "How can I curb CLIMATE CHANGE?"  Every small act we make is so important!

All of these beautiful organisms deserve to survive.
