  • It Would Have Blown My Mind. . . .

      Everything Teaches. . . .  A friend and I discussed how difficult it was for humans not to think we are the most intelligent of beings.  Of course he said, no matter what color they are, people think other beings cannot be intelligent. In Doris Lessing’s Shikasta series, Klorathy said the most intelligent were…

  • Hunger For What Is Remembered. . . .

    I write only of worlds I know.  Of little, gentle fishes called Nords and Kerns and of Teachers.  Did I create them or discover them in place?  They shimmer for me.  They are not just one world.  There are also places of poverty that touch the living heart and strum it with songs of despair…

  • When GIVEN Thoughts Require Attention. . . .

    The children will know the highest and best framework you have chosen is one by which your own heart was healed. *****  We say take love and use it and it will heal the rift which threatens to become a chasm man will never be able to cross by himself.  Would you be able to…

  • Each One Teach One. . . .

    Today I post with a practical idea that helps me enormously.  Two of my favorite bloggers, Jon Katz on Bedlam Farm and Maria Wulf on Fullmoonfiberart.com inspired the following idea.  Jon posted that Maria put up shelves to enable him to glance and see clean clothes on hand. My head rang bells and I asked…

  • Help Balance Our World. . . .

    Where is this place called home?  The elders often sit with a distant look and one hears them say I need to go home.  Most lives have given no exact place to these words, but all of us have heard them said since we were children. I brought this place with me when I arrived…

  • Not Better, Not Lesser, but Diverse. . . .

    It was 2 ½ years ago that I posted what a stumbling block I had and did not know  I carried.  When something was so obvious to me, all evidence pointed, words written, pictures and all, yet sitting across the table was one shaking his head no.  I was reading into the subject.  It did…

  • You Have To Reach High . . . .

    Mar 10, ’87. . . I scribed. . . Where discipline is not thought to be self imposed. . . To know when one demeans one’s own system, is to debase the spirit within.  It is all a value system.  A value system.  And a value system worth its salt will not be maligned in…

  • Among the earth’s persons. . racing toward his truth. . .

      We were sitting at dinner on the Farm visiting with my beloved burly brothers.  I had been the first sister amid 5 brothers born and never doubted their love.  They were my introduction to the world of men and they could do everything. And when I first talked with words of meaning, I announced…

  • It Is A Fact. . . Know It. . .

      Believe because it is true. . . . . As we approach Valentine’s Day, to all who are bereft and do not or have not known love, what is missed is something you have known somewhere at some time else you would not know you miss it. One day it will be yours again.   It will…

  • My God Watches Me. . .

    I had a journal entry I looked at that had hostility levied on differences in us and I thought it time to look at what unites as human beings.  It is a simple character attribute. When we were children our parents expected we would be truth tellers.  We were asked the simple question. .  brushed…
