Summer Salutations!
So much is unfolding on our planet right now and everywhere you turn there is more 'bad news'. The Gulf Oil Spill, the questionable agenda of the riot police at the G20 in Toronto, Marigold Natural Pharmacy being raided and shut down, the future of our sacred salmon...to name a few global and local headlines.
I just did a spontaneous 5 day silent retreat with my friends Asrael and Pete and so created an opportunity to sink into my deepest knowingness, What I found was despair. Is writing one more letter really going to change anything? Is standing on the tallest mountain and screaming out with millions of others that we can't take it anymore....the lies, the oppression, this irreverence for life, for the planet herself... going to have any effect?
In the evening Satsang with Adayshanti he said something that I have heard countless times and felt that I understood. In the face of all of my suffering over what 'they' are doing he said, 'there is no them'. 'The outer is only a reflection...how many times have you killed yourself today?'
I took this reflection seriously and was humbled. May I give peace a chance! (And yes, I will write those letters and scream from mountain tops or whatever else spirit moves me to do!) Liberation is possible!
Deerheart News!
Welcome to Asrael and Pete who will be living here at Deerheart this summer. Asrael will be offering yoga classes and healing work in the yurt and Pete will be sharing his expertise in permaculture design as we move foreward with creating a food forest. I feel so blessed to have you both here...thank you!
