We really do need to see the ways in which many of our values are backwards. "Saving the Earth" is an arrogance on our part. As the tsunami demonstates, if Gaia rolls a shoulder, our cities fall. We are not masters of nature, we are one of the experiments of the planetary evolution. That evolution will continue, with or without us....I believe our job is to attune ourselves with the planet, so that instead of becoming extinct (and sadly taking so many other evolving lifeforms with us)....we can become truly attuned and co-evolutionary.Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-57326045524287048252011-03-21T03:16:33.934-07:002011-03-21T03:16:33.934-07:00I loved your post - It really resonated with me. I...I loved your post - It really resonated with me. I have read about the Kali Yuga before, and it's a scary thing for our time to be associated with. What really gets me is how stupid it all is. Here in the UK, just beginning to come out of the depressions, our new government decides we have no money and cuts a huge chunk of public funding all across the country - education, hospitals, bursaries, libraries, public transport etc. And then it decides, let's go to war!! What!? It's awful. Since when is war going to solve anything, especially when your own country is in such a mess? It's incredible that the world keeps repeating the same stupid mistakes,the same stupid greediness and stupidly forgetting about the environment as soon as they realise money can be made out of not caring. <br />If we don't change our ways, I think the earth is just going to keep kicking our asses until we are extinct. <br />FaerieDDemelzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072632838159709900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-63534829128720768882011-03-20T07:14:38.102-07:002011-03-20T07:14:38.102-07:00Kali/Durga has sure been in my consciousness of la...Kali/Durga has sure been in my consciousness of late. I, too, just wrote a post about not being able to find my ground. I didn't go into the specifics - both personal and planetary. So many women I speak to this week are in this state. It is a strange, apathetic time.... where we are going, I do wonder.

I guess this is a bit of an explosion on my part....but increasingly I feel this is what I need to think and write about. <br /><br />What a difficult and generous thing for you to have done, Suki. Cape Cod is a vibrant place, how you must miss it. I hope you can find a way to become "unstuck"......I think it's very important to be in places that our spirits love.Lauren Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157367890138761677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413503017463795.post-30109666747354880392011-03-20T04:57:08.640-07:002011-03-20T04:57:08.640-07:00wow, so much here in this post. the tarot card is...wow, so much here in this post. the tarot card is hard to look at, i guess that is the idea. we must look at hard to look at things to regain a balance and sanity.<br /><br />And when we can do this and can walk through the fire, we find enlightenment.<br /><br />the greed and acquisitiveness of the contemporary world is shocking. I was not a 60's activist in actions, but certainly embraced the 60's philosophy and way of living:burn bra's etc and sustainable living. plus lived in Frisco in 1967.<br /><br />two things: I am reading a biography of JD Salinger who was a soldier in WWII. I had no idea and quite a bit of time is spent on this time of his life. All the while, he was also writing his stories. Amazing really. <br /><br />Second: you are experiencing something similar to what I recently (in the past three years ) experienced. I moved away from my beloved Cape Cod and all my friends and the ocean to come up to cold New Hampshire to care for my 90 year old mom. I just moved in with her, as I owned no home. Put my things in storage. An amazing experience being with her during her last year. But somehow since her death I have become stuck here, living in her house now owned by my brother. how to get unstuck? at any rate, many blessings upon you for taking care of your dear mom.

It's revolting, what's happening. We've got a post going up on it tomorrow. I'm ready for the "feminine" solution to problems. Get rid of the pentagon, for starters. <br /><br />And I love your hanged man card. It fits that archetype to a T.<br /> TrishThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342491014187885798noreply@blogger.com
