Squirrel Babies
June 22, 2017 There is a new clutch of baby squirrels in the garden, just recently arrived. A tiny tribe of four wild foragers, marauding the bird feeder and surrounding greenery with gleeful abandon. These same four, I’m quite sure, were raised in a nest on the roof above my bed, or more precisely, over my bedroom, in a space unable to be found from within the house, or from above, on the rooftop. An almost mythical space which seems to reside somewhere between the bedroom ceiling and the high ceiling’d livingroom rooftop. The sound of their night-time antics as they grew from helpless sightless newborns to adventurous young squirrel…

The Ides of July: A Family Remembrance
Over the years I never put the pieces together consciously, or actually noticed that it was July that often felt so sorrowful. Perhaps it was just the heat. I never did like hot weather. A sort of malaise seemed to hang in the air… Then, in 2008, all the pieces fell into place at once. It was a grey and overcast day in early March and I was on the Cape again after many years absence. I was standing in the cemetery where my grandparents are buried. My brothers and I were there to bury our mother. 54 years ago, when I was 3 years old, my grandmother was killed…

Tragedy and Hope – Taking Another Look…
This video, created by a young Australian, depicts the message that is there for all of us to awaken to. Will we awaken? I do not know. Do I hope we do? Most certainly. The message in this video is well over half a century old – ti took a young man barely 2 decades old to hear it and translate it into this powerful message for all of us. What will you do with it? What will any one of us, or all of us, do with it? It is our choice. Time to choose. Should we choose to wake up or stay asleep? This is the question each…

Alan Watts – Time to Revisit a Powerful Perspective
Looking backwards in time to get to the now moment is an interesting experience. When Alan Watts is involved it seems to work quite well, however. This one may be even more powerful than the first. If you can imagine your dreams…

Vandana Shiva in London October 12, 2013 Required Viewing
If you are unclear, or need some education on the reality of food and seed freedom, then you need to watch this video. GMO’s have failed. Over 284 thousand of farmers have committed suicide in India. Watch this video. Watch this video. It’s time for us to Round Up Monsanto. Because we do better with our seeds, our soils, and our knowledge. It is time for a knowledge of liberation of our minds and our bodies and our food. The vast majority of food produced in the world today is coming from our free, private and unrestrained gardens and farms. We must reclaim our government and gardens. We will NOT…

Insect Eating Birds are Starving in UnPrecedented Numbers Across the US – You Can Help Save Them with Suet
We have lost tens of thousands of swallows in Oregon in the last WEEK. The neonicotinoids are killing off the insect populations across the board in all inland waterways near agricultural areas. They are also directly toxic to our birds. Here is the documented evidence: http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/toxins/neonic_final.pdf Here is the local news headline regarding Oregon swallows: ‘Windy and Stormy Weather Killing Swallows This type of mortality event is unprecedented’ I sent a copy of this local news article to Dr. Henk Tennekes in the Netherlands. Tennekes has documented a mass die off of inland waterway birds, farmland birds, song birds, swallows and all other wild birds in the Netherlands over…

If You’re 84 and the Foreclosure Goons are at your Door – What it looks like in America
For the last three years I’ve been friends with a lovely ‘little old lady’ from southern California. I won’t go into all the sordid details of how this came about. Suffice to say, she found me, and at the time I was involved in work I thought might be helpful to her. She didn’t have a penny to her name, and we’ve never exchanged more than words and phone calls and endless reams of paper which supposedly ‘defined’ her position, but none the less, we have become friends. She thinks I’m very smart, and in some ways I am, but I am not smart enough to overcome the massive corruption…

The Beautiful Truth – Let Food Be Your Medicine
This incredible and in-depth video is a very clear and direct statement to the people of the world who would care to know the truth about food and health. An absolute must watch movie for anyone with children and anyone who cares about their health. There is no excuse for anyone to be ignorant any longer of the dangers of processed foods and chemicals in our food, healthcare and dental industries. It is fascinating and revealing to consider, for instance, that the five companies behind genetically engineered and modified foods are not agricultural companies. Monsanto, DuPont, Bayer,Syngenta and Dow. They are all chemical companies. Finally, consider this sobering review of…

Do You Remember 17?
A Parable to remind us all Some years ago, I was confronted with a situation in which I had taken on the care and feeding of a young man who was not my own child, but the friend of one of my children. He was 17 and in the midst of a parental separation battle. He had been ‘left’ to live with his father in order to finish school where he had been with close friends and teachers for some time… But the father thing was not working out and he had been thrown to the streets by this man, who claimed to be his father. His mother, meantime, had…
