Open letter to the youth
Some time ago, I wrote an "Open Letter to the Youth." I did this in response to the choice of these budding men and woman to voice their Desire for adults to Respect Nature and take action to protect our children's future. I forwarded this letter to many youth organizations with the hopes […]
Little confirmation
A few weeks back I was given a copy of an old magazine called "Gleanings in Bee Culture." This particular issue was dated July 1977. That is a 42 year old copy! Nevertheless, as I was reading it with great interest, I came across an article by Charles Mraz from Middlebury, VT which I found […]
Growth and malnourishment
In my parenting book I indicated that humanity's "pressure" for early reproduction is related to its unhealthy state and I likened this to stressed plants in a garden. Every gardener knows that stressed and sickly plants will go to flower and seed well in advance of healthy specimens.Here […]
The official movie...
Well... not quite but a little movie nevertheless. I went to the garden today and noticed one of the white bees on a flower. I watched and observed it dedicate minutes upon minutes on one single flower. Eventually I realized that perhaps I would have time to go back, get my camera, and do a little […]
Little white bees...
It has been quite interesting to be surrounded by so many bees. Several weeks ago I came across a bee type I had never seen before. Not that I know much about bees, but at least I can tell the difference between honey bees, sweat bees, bumble bees, and wasps...Anyway, when I saw it I was totally […]
Honey, sweet honey...
Well, after many many years of a bee-keeping break, the community in which I reside resumed bee keeping. While we have all kinds of wild bees hovering all around, this year we were gifted a hive by the area bee-keeper. Not so long ago was my first harvest of honey. Delicious! Here are a few photos […]
More Gardening Updates
Below is a picture showing the last harvest from the green house. We had lots of red chard left and some tiny carrots. But that's not really the reason I chose to show this picture. The real reason is the summer squash! Why? Because in a way it just popped out of nowhere. You see, I planted a few […]
Points of interest - Part 1
Welcome back. If you read through my squatting entries and you still came back, good for you. The next step in the progression of understanding the Beauty of who We Are and of Creation is through a series of seemingly unrelated points. We'll see what comes out of it. Science teaches us about […]
Garden Season Update
Well, spring is well underway down here in the Arizona desert and the garden is responding to the increased temperatures. Here are a few more pictures of some of our harvests. Here is some lettuce from the green house. I had to pick a bunch because its bolting, which means it's wanting to go to […]
The squatting conundrum - the end
How is it that we humans feel ok carrying poop inside of us all day long but then develop this poop-phobia once it is outside of us, I still don't understand. What I do know however, is that this experience in the woods was actually a live changer and nowhere close to the psychological scarring […]
The squatting conundrum - 5
Mustering enough strength, I faced the “unfaceable” and did the unthinkable. I turned around and actually looked at my poop straight on for the first time this lifetime (and perhaps many lifetimes) and to my surprise the sense of humiliation that preceded the event quickly evaporated into thin air. […]
The squatting conundrum - 4
Being as 'informed' as I was and close to a flowing stream, I knew I couldn't just leave my deposit just sitting there waiting to contaminate the water. I didn't want to be held accountable during my lifetime review for starting an e.coli outbreak. “You almost made it to Heaven… but remember that […]
The squatting conundrum - 3
With the call of Nature answered, I was left with another dilemma, namely what to do with the results of answering a number two call. I could have simply walked away never looking back but in this instance I unfortunately knew better. My conscience was reminding me of a book I read during one of my […]
The squatting conundrum - 2
I had no access to the park restrooms and civilization was too far away... this meant that I had no choice but to face the humiliation of my physicality and find a little bush or tree to hide behind... How brutal can Nature be to a 'potty trained' city boy who wanted to be 'spiritual' and raise […]
The squatting conundrum
What is it about poop that many cultures find so appalling and denigrating? I really don't know. What I do know however is that I used to suffer from the same strange behavior. Let me share a story with you.One time during my travels with Linda, we were Guided to camp somewhere close to Albuquerque, […]
The obvious
Once you know where Father's Cathedral is then the obvious becomes obvious: To Know Him you need to be in Nature. Whether it be a little patch of weeds, the backyard, a park, a farm, or the middle of nowhere you will always find Father in His Cathedral waiting for you to notice the Beauty of what He […]
Thy will be done
A few days back I had the opportunity to hear the bible story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. According to the story, this is the garden Jesus visited before being betrayed and crucified. While I was already aware of the falsity of this story, to my surprise, there was still a greater insight […]
Ever realized?
Have you ever realized everything that goes into growing the vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, herbs you eat? The Sun, the Moon, the stars, the rain, the winds, the soil, the Earth, animals, insects, microbes, minerals, gemstones, rivers, wells, planets, galaxies, little people all participating in […]
Dirt of Creation
How can anyone get 'dirty' Playing with Creation? Dirt is an aspect of Creation. Mud is the aspect of dirt mixed with the aspect of water.How can anyone get 'dirty' Playing with Creation?Perhaps one day we 'civilized' cultures will realize how cruel it is to deny children and adults alike the Joy […]
Warnings
In utmost gratitude for a visible HelioStella rise, Showay and Breye-yendeze greeted the day and welcomed Aurora’s visit. "As you welcome, embrace, expand, and express the creative - receptive within you," Aurora said while injoying the morning sun-bath with her friends, "heed these […]
Artless Creativity
As the days continued to pass, Showay began feeling more and more complete with his initial attempt to define what he saw at the farms. He was sure greater understanding would unfold as his capacity to welcome his receptivity in a masculine way expanded. To facilitate this process, he would remind […]
