Comment on Remembering Kaitlin Lindsay (Hetzner) Johnston by Mattie

I send my sincerest sympathies for those who knew and loved Kaitlin and I offer deep bows for her life of 49 years. I have lived in community and I know how deeply such a sudden passing affects all–including the animals, and all the trees and plants. I also know there is great rejoicing in Heaven now holding this passing.

Comment on Prevent Birds from Striking Windows by Pedant

“I used to worry about cats killing birds, but window strikes are a significantly bigger problem“
Window strikes are still a top 3 issue, but with over twice as many attributable deaths, outdoor cats are literally the significantly larger problem. Why needlessly downplay the top cause of avian deaths? Just seems weird.

Hi, I tried the yellow highlighter and it appears to be working! No birds in 3 weeks and it was a daily occurrence. THANKS.

As an urbanite living city central, early mornings in the community garden by the lake; taking off my shoes to squeeze the lush green grass between my toes, I close my eyes and hear; birds catching breakfast on the lake, large Florida cranesflapping their wings taking off like a 747 jet, mamma ducks quacking with her babies and I say to myself, “Now, I am grounded.”

There is a place in Cave Creek Canyon, Portal, AZ called The Bathtub off the South Forks trail that is very sacred and peaceful to me.The water is delightfully cold, and great for whole body cooling during the summer months.The flow is usually just enough to create that magical gurgle of water flowing into a crystal clear basin surrounded by very large boulders, and rock formations with crags allowing some plants to eek out an existence.A few sycamore trees nearby create a canopy overhead letting in just enough sun to prevent hypothermia after immersion.All the while, little fish nibble on your toes as if they are secretly hoping some part of you is a potential source of food while the blue jays cry out in the trees above; I have also created a small oasis under a mesquite tree in the valley between the Peloncillos and Chiracahua mountain ranges which is regularly visited by javelinas, chipmunks, rabbits, lizards, coyotes, so many different varieties of birds, and a new family of quail.
I hope to visit Earthaven soon, and eventually see your peaceful places…

I love this invitation! One of Bud and my favorite peaceful places is a pond at the top of Mt. Vision here in our beloved Ca. Point Reyes National Seashore. We climb to the top of the mountain that looks out over the lush estuaries draining into the shimmering ocean. Sweat drenched, we tear off our clothes and jump in to the springfed pond. Ahhh!

My sacred place is in the woods near my home. My husband and I were married under “ the rainbow tree”, which had a big arching branch over the path. There’s a bog, meadow, and 100 foot tall oak trees with a gentle path winding through. It’s a place of peace and joy for me

Living in Manhattan, I seek peaceful places in both person-made spaces, and natural outdoor spaces. A tea room, a four table space on the second floor of a residential building, was created by a lovely Siberian woman who gave up her finance career to serve Chinese tea ceremony. As the door swings open, her intention and energy spill into the hallway and passers-by fall into whispers. As I take off my shoes to enter this sacred space, peace begins soaking into me without thought. Healing and deep reflection begin.

I just read, The Bear is My Father, by Bear Heart. It is an easy read. with nuggets of wisdom of Indian culture and life throughout. Moving to a more complex read After One Hundred Winters: In search of Reconciliation on American’s Stolen Lands, by historian Margaret Jacobs.
I am very attracted to Indian culture and how to reconcile our history, heal our present and co-create from the heart our future.. I don’t even have the words, as yet, to define what I mean by reconcile or heal or what future may look like.

I am reading “The God Code” by Gregg Braden. This is a fascinatingly, brilliant, piece of literature that combines science and religion and makes sense.
I am alone in this world, many have died, many contacts have been lost with time and age.
I am looking for a place where I belong. I shelter myself from the world and all of the ways, I do not understand. At the same time, I live in, what is turning into a city, on the north shore of the east coast of Massachusetts. A place, where everyone lives within inches of one another’s front door and no one speaks to each other.
I am a woman of God and I live in a setting where there is no love. Could I find it there?
