"In a field of concerns,  this is probably my greatest one:  that we will not take this thing to heart deeply enough to become the generation to proceed otherwise."

Stephen Jenkinson  Interview with Mattias Olsson,  Corona Crisis Campfire Stories.

go to Orphan Wisdom.com

If you possibly can,    Face It.    ….go.   Listen.   Stay through it.   Let it enter into you.    What is the result of all this that has befallen us….?    What is it that we want most?   To resume shopping?   Today i wanted Tahini.     Almost all of us here were there during the 60's and 70's .   We had dreams.   And then we forgot and just shopped for Tahini.  How much does this EARTH matter?   How much do the 7 generations matter?   How much do insect populations matter?   How much,  how much.   or

do we need to go to the grocery store,  as always,   in our lifetimes.   Get our tahini.     Our favorite wine.

i like the metaphor.   Rough Gods.   i think it is not metaphor,  but words that give us a sense of what is at stake.   

and scroll  down…the Tramore Invocation…  or just type it in.   Orphan Wisdom.  Tramore Invocation.

    I think- going forward- I will want less. I will want seeds and a garden. live a simpler life. I have tahini in the cupboard. I would share. I will say thank you much more often. I look forward to hugging my friends.

    your post sent me on a wonderful journey to that podcast, and Stephen Jenkinson’s webpage, then to youtube. In the past I didn’t resonate with Jenkinson, something about his manner was off-putting…
    but today it all clicked…what a feast
    my youtube sidebar offered this:
