Just Pick it Up
Marni Curtis is a ZLMC Sangha member and also a member of our Earth Steward Circle. She describes in this video her practice of picking up plastic. The Earth Steward circle also sponsors a plastic collection program that turns plastic into park benches which they donate to non-profit organizations in our community.
Humanity’s Wake Up Call
The chrysalis stage is when consuming stops. This is a time when things change dramatically. The caterpillar dies and slowly changes into a soupy goo. Imaginal cells that were originally in the caterpillar continue to live and feed off of this goo.
Stop!
You have not been listening.
It is hard to listen when you are so busy all the time, hustling to uphold the comforts and conveniences that scaffold your lives.
But the foundation is giving way,
buckling under the weight of your needs and desires.
We will help you.
We will bring the firestorms to your body
We will bring the fever to your body
We will bring the burning, searing, and flooding to your lungs
that you might hear:
We are not well.
