As so much life is at risk, Caroline welcomes award-winning science journalist, Judith D Schwartz,
whose latest book The Reindeer Chronicles, & other inspiring stories of working with Nature to Heal the Earth, proffers myriad heartening stories of devastating deserts than can return to blooming, as can our hearts…
Judith Schwartz is an award-winning science journalist and leading voice in regenerative agriculture and ecological restoration. Her latest book, The Reindeer Chronicles, shares the inspiring stories of a passionate group of eco-restorers who are following nature’s lead to help revitalize some of the most degraded places on earth—and succeeding.
With the UN declaring the next 10 years as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, Schwartz’s book will help raise awareness about the importance of regenerating natural systems to fight climate change. “Our natural systems are under great stress,” she says. “However, nature’s inclination is toward healing, and we can work with the logic of ecology to restore landscapes and waterways.”
Yo team,
Swooshing in late after the last night of the Democratic Convention.
Effective magic, masterful artful logistics, supporting story craft…
Really best Democratic Convention in living memory…
Like so much, never going back to the old container…
The debate on Sept. 29th will be realer too, no game show frame (please trickster gods)
Sufficient Dreeing of Weird
(“to play one’s role in Destiny” Let us all proclaim our willingness to Dree Our Weird!)
Henry Mayer, The Awakening, 1915
The soul of the country is animated and stirring, and now a part of the vernacular.
Anything for which we have a name – we have a relationship.
(Barack’s Mars 22+Virgo is the US Neptune, the soul of the country,
and was where the Moon was at the beginning of this show.)
Saturn, Jupiter, & Pluto, exactly are trining the Soul of America…
Neptune opposite
Truly opportune time to ladle structures of ingenious collective support and rapport
Venus (Anadyomene Fresco from Pompeii, Casa di Venus, 1st century)
And Venus at 12 Cancer, where the Sun was on July 4th, 1776 – constellating family kinship…
(and yes, of course, Dem Party nixed the not subsidising fossil fuels part of the platform etc.)
We gotta keep on it. Welcome incentive. We are not out-sourcing our Saturn, yet completely willing to cooperate with the good.
We are electing a story…that magnetizes and invites the best in us all…to participate in wild competent reverent ingenuity arising, to care for all..
From the show: “A desert is a place where when it rains – it floods.”

Literally, and in myriad forms of metaphoric pertinence.
Let the land be receptive to water, slowing water down, via berms. Meandering.
Infiltrating…
(Tis why the Feng Shui folks say, have the path to your house curve, “because evil is so stupid it can only go in straight lines. “ & “can’t cross running water.”)
“All life comes from water” Koran
In Allepo, Syria, oldest souk in the world, may it too rise again from devastation.
2500 years old.
At its center is “the world’s oldest mental health site, where one was healed by listening to the sound of the burbling spring, in the heart of this mercantile Oasis.
All of our metaphors for money are all water: currency, cash flow, liquidity, rising tide…
Slowing it all down, letting it curve…
(and for fun Rev Ike said,
“I never say I spent money, cause spent is exhausted (well is dry). I circulate money…”)
Economia ecologia…
and let s aspire to not contribute heat to the already too hot world, but agents of water..
From space, view of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers coming together (NASA/JPL)
“Magic flows,” as Mary Greer said last week.
And for now her house is safe in Nevada City , with its library of tarot cards…
We send cooling mist to her and all beings…
Agents of cool response in hot reactive world.
“Every Living thing is in a state of worship.” (Koran)
