They say the universe is expanding, and as it does, we seem to be accelerating the velocity of our species. Ordinary matter turned into extraordinary conscious beings—trying to keep up with the cosmos.
Astrophysics aside, we are in the midst of great change, and in order to keep up, we need to cultivate health and happiness. In fact, cultivating our joy leads directly to our physical well-being.
With lust, uncontested trust, magnificent love, and an appetite for comfort, we fall into love. A longing to be with the “other”—animal moans and primal groans only last so long.
At first, we fit together like clams’ shells, and other times we push and pull and only meld with a little lubrication.
Making the connection stronger—it’s often worth the trouble if you give it your best shot!
Times running out to avoid climate disaster Photo by Tran on Pexels.com
Many of us hope to create a sustainable future somehow…. but the answers aren’t found in the future, they must be discovered here today. Because climate change is causing more frequent and more severe storms, floods, droughts, wildfires, and extreme weather events every day,
Climate change is a REAL threat to human well-being and the health of the planet, it requires urgent and far-reaching actions and fundamental changes in all aspects of human life to increase people’s and nature’s ability to cope with, and respond to, climate change.
Indeed, our entire biosphere is breaking down as we stand by and knew it all along.
We knew burning fossils for fuel was going to create climate havoc. Exxon scientists predicted the pace and scale of climate change more than 40 years ago, the oil firm knew about and downplayed the risks posed by continued fossil fuel use.
Had the world adapted to climate change in the 1970s the current climate crises could have been avoided. Now, the world faces the uphill task of preserving a livable planet for our species.
Someone I know in Iowa was just bemoaning the rising price of a dozen eggs. Imagine $5.99 a dozen!! I asked them what it takes to lay an egg out of the body of a birdlike reptile.
If an egg came out of you, dear one, how much would it cost?
Our yearning for the cheapest egg misses the big picture. Driving the price down in the shortest amount of producing time hurts the farmer, their community, and the birds.
We positively love eggs. Not only are eggs a great source of vitamins and minerals, but they can also be used as part of a self-sufficient food plan; they can be raised right in your own backyard!
I discovered the wonder of homegrown eggs in the early 1980s. Some of you may remember the obsession. I learned quite a bit about raising chickens and eating fresh organic eggs.
What is breakfast? It means literally, “breaking your nightly fast.” Unless in the wees hours, you’ve eaten too much gelato overcome with ERUPTIONS OF maple syrup.
If I eat a good breakfast, I’m stronger and can face life’s challenges that are gushing at me like a firehouse.
There are many challenges out there, and I am changing along with the world.

This blog is transforming into a full spectrum rumination of organic living through times of change.
