As Climate Change moves forward at an accelerating rate, we find ourselves needing to adapt as well as resist.
Where I once grew almost all of my food on a small area of land, I have had to relinquish this practise and buy my food from people farming the lower lands where water is more abundant. I have taken a stance in the hills, above the Santa Clara lake. I collect rainwater, in tanks and a large Cisterna, for sharing with the trees, plants, cats, birds, and wild animals when the droughts persist and no water is to be found without heading down hill to the lake far below. I grow trees, nurturing them from seedlings to full growth. Otherwise, the plants which I am now assisting to grow are drought resistant varieties which, although still requiring water from me, manage to resist the higher temperatures which we are already experiencing.
The desire to assist all beings to live and thrive is deep within me, as is the drive to enable humanity to recognise the inherent responsibilities of being born and to use our Heads, Heart and Hands to rebalance the terrible crimes that have been orchestrated on our planet, by blind greed and ignorance, on the one hand, and by deliberate negative actions, on the other.
I entered the Light of Samadhi at the age of 18, and quite seriously did not expect to age, as I know myself to be eternal. Of course, it is our Souls which are eternal, our bodies only borrowed, temporarily from our Mother Earth, so ageing is inevitable as the atoms seek to return to their mother!
However, at the age of 70 I am fit, well, and enjoying continued creativity in the service of All-That-Is. Daily yoga, meditation, swimming and consultations with guidance, between playing music, writing songs, poems and books and playing with paints, clay and woodwork. I still find the necessary time to spend loving moments with my animal friends and water the growing number of plant friends, almost daily throughout the summer months.
