Rabbi David Wolfe-Blank Photo Drew me This Shavuot

http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19980902&slug=2769589



Just came home from two back to back events that were life transforming. The Second was a peak mountain experience of community building. Last night was a lovely gathering of one of our local Jewish Renewal Communities, but I did not want to interrupt the flow of coming down from the mountain to attend.

It felt like Moses stopping receiving The Ten Commandments because there was another engagement he needed to attend.

I will catch up with our local Jewish Renewal community this Saturday at another lovely event at Rabbi Wayne and Ellen Kaufman Dosick's home.

This morning another Jewish Renewal Rabbi made a facebook comment on one of my posts--Rabbi Grafstein. It was nice in the middle of what I am doing, to have a lovely Jewish Renewal touch in.

So here is something back for my Jewish Renewal Friends.

This photo has been waiting to be scanned.

It is of Rabbi David Wolfe-Blank, a remarkable man. He was kind to me and appreciated my work with plants. This was taken at an Aleph Kallah in Colorado in the 1990's. Rabbi David was a friend to many.

Leslie returns to the Mountain Kuchamaa May 13, 2013 following the 3rd Festival of Traditional Medicine of the Americas, May 11-12-13 at Rancho Los Chabacanos in Tecate, Mexico. The eve of May 14 was the beginning of Shavuot, a harvest festival in the Jewish Tradition where people receive The Ten Commandments. In some circles, Shavuot plays out the remarriage to God.and is a time of Revelation from the Mountain. In this Chapter of "Grow A Healthier Pizza," I am taking time to reflect on what I learned from the 3rd Festival of Traditional Medicine. The event was a coming together of the family of healers and students who honor Nature's Original Technology as expressed through the community of plants. The plants are here to serve us as our medicine. In the foreground of this photo is a stand of ancient original wheat called KAMUT® that is ripening in fertile soil near a foot deep at Rancho Tres Estrellas, the food growing garden and farm of Rancho La Puerta.

A POEM

I have watched grain grow naturally.
It grows through kindness, sun, and friendship.
The rain holds back nothing where people
open hearted call it present.
There can be no drought in a world where love
is abundant in deed, where waking dreams
of children are freely fed.

We are one family sitting at the same table for dinner.
It doesn't seem good manners that some of us
eat and other's don't.

World peace is a shared dream to be fulfilled
in the belly of the hungry.

from "Rekindling of Faith"
by Leslie, 1985
