Some thoughts I want to express
on a handout or flyer at the Enchanted Garden
Altar at the upcoming Pacific Symposium, November 2-5.
THINGS to DO to Declare Peace Today
You are choosing to be a Caregiver.
Give to yourself first. From the overflow of Chi,
give to to others.
Strive to grow your own Medicine. Start with one
easy-to-grow Medicinal herb. Medicine you have grown for yourself from seed
has great power. In your own way, pray on the seeds
you grow. Evoke Plant Spirit Medicine; It will help you.
Aspire to be a gardener, to have a place
where you can take your shoes off close to home,
a place where those who come to see you
can sit in a garden where you practice your Medicine.
Realize you are a Healer of the Earth through
how you eat, and what you eat. Support your local farmer.
Strive to get to know by name the people growing the food
that feeds you. Aim to eat locally grown, organic, fresh foods daily.
Not knowing who is growing your food, is like being
intimate with a stranger.
Strive to live where you can eat something
that grows from land where you live.
Realize that gardeners make better lovers.
Seek to increase understanding between one man
and one woman. Start with the person closest to you
that is you. Extend this ourward.
This is Organic Celebration!
Declare Peace on Earth through making
Peace with Earth Today.
Be a Soilmate.
Realize that the Earth and the Soul
are Soilmates.
Create yourself a World Peace Breakout
Starter Kit! Make more Holy Ground;
Let earth worms show you how!
Take what some call dirt, add earth worms.
Add what some call garbage. Enjoy the magic!
Your worms will delight in fresh, organic veggie remains,
You can grow worms in a container near your kitchen.
Earthworms can be the salvation of humankind.
Our human Kin are fighting for Holy Land.
For you, Promised Land can begin in your own
backyard, in your own Enchanted Garden.
One day, together, we will surround hurt with green.
Cousins will look out and say, "Can you remind
me why we are fighting?"
Other Soilmate Quotes:
"Who do I ask? Nature spirits.
Ask Pan, also when you do not know who to call in.
You can count on Pan to be reliable and universal."
--Cindy McGonagle, "Garden Notes"
"We ohly operate in the present...We are concerned
with what applies now. Keep relaxed in the Light,
and in the moment we will be present--The Devas.
"Sometimes, one person represents the whole planet.
Today I give compost to the Earth. I am giving nurturing
to the Earth all over. I am digging in the soil.
I am digging in the Earth. The Earth feels it all over."
Peter Dukich, Master Biodynamic compost builder.
"If I wante to get initiated into the garden, I would watch
a radish grow. Get in! Start Creating and building. Do you really
want to get your health back? Go out and learn to make compost.
--from "Survive This Day" by Dr. Bernard Jensen w/ Leslie Goldman
"World transformation is something that anyone can be involved in,
anywhere...Am I simply being a satelite in orbit around fixed ideas,
or a new sun giving forth my own light of revelation? What am I
doing to transform myself and my world?"...be the revelation of the
answers and the creators of a world made new." --David Spankler.
"If there is ever to be anything remotely resembling a New Age,
it will come about because we will...transform our lives in place,
in daily action, in our jobs and in our neighborhoods. Such a
transformation weill not come about by abandoning our homes and search
for it "out there." --Paul G Hawken
"As we race toward the twenty-first century, we again find ourselves
in the same position as our ancestors, dependent on the earth for survival."
--Bernyce Barlow, "Sacred Sites of the West"
"You can do no great things...only small things with great love."
--Mother Teresa
"With Loveand Blessings on your Garden." --Peter Caddy
(inscribed in a book in the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community
Library, from Peter, an old friend.
"I am the Crack.
Elevate me to righteous status.
Make Holy Ground where I am.
Be something beautiful that will grow in the Crack.
Plant something beautiful that will grow in the Crack.
Make a Holy sound in the crack.
Dance in the Crack.
Dance the Crack and I dissapear.
May the Crack crack wide open.
May the Crack disappear.
May the last Crack on Earth disappear.
May I be the last Crack on Earth."
--from Song for the Homeless"
in "The Rebirth of Mother Earth"
Leslie Goldman, 1989
"Knowledge of the mysterious underground energies
and the ability to dowse their precise location
is as integral to the Chinese Feng Shui tradition
as it is to other geomantric traditions of the world."
--Richard Craightmore, Earth Acupunturist.
