The dream is that the United States will save 30% at least of it's lands and waters. That marine sanctuaries and all the waters not protected will be stewarded by wiser people.  The dream is to preserve, protect and steward this beautiful planet. Look for more about this from me. Look for creative blessings and ways to connect. Look for mishegas and wild blues, because i am expressing my wild blues about the plight that all life, wild life, human life, sea life and wetlands, birds and bees, and you name it, are in serious jeopardy because people have divided their allegiances and owned what was really only theirs to share. Listen, we can make a difference. But as you know, there's so many of us. So we have to connect and create a lively, loving net of knowledge and action to preserve and protect our lands and waters. Join a group. Take a stand. Make a difference. I know you can. Look, if i can, you can.  Trust that what we do matters and is important. 

 

I may keep making announcements here to connect you to freda's wild blues.  I would love to connect. I might need your support on how to be better at that too.

eco means extended family

 I'm starting a new chapter and working up the thoughts that will carry the story through. At least, that is what i'm telling myself and now, you as well. the book i'm writing and hope to share within a reasonable amount of time, is about our connection to the land and water. And the air too.  If you know my writing, you know it takes the winding path. I hope that you will check out my books. Here's the link to my last one, riding the waves: a tale about being home in the world.     All my writing is about the environment but you might have to move away the leaves to see that. There's probably many of us out in the world that would love to be called a nature writer. But our imaginations and creativity, and our passions, bring in other elements that aren't necessarily what everyone expects of a nature book. That's because nature includes everything, even shadows and imaginary beings. Or at least beings we can't all see yet. The environment is a word i struggle with because I don't think it brings to mind what I want it to. Nature might be closer to what I need. All my writing is about nature. Okay. That's better for me. It better expresses my desires about stewarding the planet and taking good care of the wildlife. Yes, the people too.  Many people aren't familiar with ecosystems. But that's a word that is closer to what I care about. I'm still learning. Eco comes from the meaning of extended family.  My book riding is about that. It's about finding wholeness through and past grief by connecting with and knowing that you are a part of nature. That I am a part of nature and that all I love and lost from this world are a part of the world I love. Yop, that's me. 

I just tweeted this as a for instance of what you can gather is ecos -

30 by 30 - preserving our lands and waters

Happy Birthday to us. On March 14, 1903 – 118 years ago today – President Theodore Roosevelt founded the National Wildlife Refuge System. Let’s celebrate!

: Peter Pearsall/

@USFWS

Some countries, and your too, the United States of America, is looking to save our lands and waters. This is needed, it's a blessing if ever there was one and it's a relief. We have to do this. I hope for more, like 40 by 40 or 50 by 50. I hope that we can protect and preserve and hope that we all understand what is at stake here. It means some are recognizing the need to do this and many countries throughout the world are.
I'd like to be faithful here to documenting who is doing this and where. Once i figure out this blog thing better. In the meantime, here's a some information for those in New Jersey

for information on preserving New Jersey’s land and natural resources, visit the New Jersey Conservation Foundation website at www.njconservation.org or

contact me at info@njconservation.org.

And in the meantime, share your love for the USFWS Refuge system and our National Parks. Honor the land and the indigenous folks that were here before your relatives. But honor too your place on the land and water. Respect the earth. She's our home. We might have travelled far to get where we are. Maybe our relatives were brought here against their will or maybe we were unwelcomed down the line. But today, we've got to recognize all of our rights, our belonging to the earth, and share our respect for all of wildlife and each other. Wishing all peace and thanks for the opportunity to wildly share both creative work and conservation concerns.

when am i not dying

 For Ruth, and for all our mothers, when am I not dying:

When our cat shakes with purr and pops her head out of her curl and her pads look like a hyacinth breaking ground.

 When we fall in love with another heirloom bean.

 Whenever we use the intimacy of a nickname.

 When skeins of rivulets join the larger stream.

 When we smell the ocean in the river and our mind is tickled by the notion of how the salmon makes its journey.

 When we listen.

 When we light up when you walk into the room.

 When the day begins to feel like a journey and you exhale into a deeper world.

 When we are listened to.

 When we are seen.

 When we move under the hush of the tree’s canopy.

 When a squirrel eats the bones of the bread turning it like a wheel.

 When you shake the snow off the forsythia and it bounces up yellow with spring.

 When answers feel right.

 When we see a wren try to sing with a worm in its mouth.

 When we feel the silver we’re wearing.

 When we have the release of the out loud.

 When we let the sun melt into our skin.

 When we stop, because there is something about the light.

 When we know like Ryokan, that we must go there today – tomorrow the plum blossoms will scatter.

the ocean remains, the horizon remains, we remain

 I'm not seeking the eternal just the abundance of days that will come like the waves and bring the peace of a welcome repetition. Sometimes there are storms. Many mornings are quiet. Some suffer so much during these difficult times and I wish them the peace of the returning waves, the certainty of the horizon, the love they need and the food and shelter and then some laughter.  I realize how fortunate I am and how my book about finding hope in nature, riding the waves, rides with me every day. Riding is about moving from grief to the acceptance of personal loss through the cure of the seasons, the balm of the full moon still out on this cold morning, the welcome words of friends who care and recognize that we are all in this together. And what is this? It is the world where some have power over others and some seek to help and some find their own way and some wonder what they can do to make things better. 

I am writing a new book about nature and hoping you will find me. I will try to find you I'm grateful for all the good you do in the world. 

wishing everyone peace, safety, security, community
