Community

Sustainable Living, Earth Trusteeship, and Grassroots Communities

The brief hiatus was due to a road trip I took through Oregon to Northern California (and back, of course). Momentum is building to create communities in a number of different places in which the emphasis will be on harmonious relationships with Nature, education through experience rather than textbooks, and natural methods of healing. The overall structure will depend on volunteers and interns understudying with experts and learning the “tricks of the trade” through observation and practice rather than academic curriculum with competitive exams. This will be international in scope with a central headquarters, place yet to be determined.

Nine months ago, a pdf download link was posted on Substack. The concept for environmental trusteeship was quite clearly portrayed in this beautifully designed e-book. It has a companion e-book that was posted as a flipbook on Invisible Epidemics.

While years have gone into the planning, we feel the launch is close now, meaning this year, hopefully weeks, not months.

I spent a lot of time behind the wheel, but this is also an opportunity to process ideas. It was very interesting to be out of communication for nine days. I did not watch any videos on the Internet, did not watch television, did not have cell phone distractions (actually, I don’t have a cell phone), and only listened to a little classical music on the radio when the signals were clear, like the first act of the Met broadcast of the Masked Ball when leaving Ashland for I-5. I lost the signal in the mountain passes but heard a divine prayer in the last act.

On the return, there was a gorgeous performance of the Boieldieu Harp Concerto as I was leaving Portland for the last leg of the drive home. It was beautifully performed.

Without any news, the Earth is perfectly lovely in many places. Mt. Shasta is, of course, majestic beyond belief, but whatever is said about geoengineering and so on and so forth, Oregon is really heavily forested and the trees look magnificent.

I’m still playing catch up but will write more in a few days.

Blessings!
