Solstice Magic

Nature is speaking to us. Some are listening.

Thomas Friedman says the Earth is Full.  He bases his NY Times article on the work of Paul Gilding.

As we approach the Summer Solstice, we are charged with doing magic to protect the earth.

But magic must always be *informed* . We must watch...we must listen... before we can know how to act.

Personally... I'm thinking cool, wet thoughts.   We have been in serious drought for at least 2 months.
The weather has been, dry and warm. In the afternoons and early moring the humidity is so, unnaturally, low that it feels like Colorado instead of Louisiana.  I know there has been too much snow & rain in the Mississippi Watershed.  We watched the river gauge hoover at flood stage, while we waited for the Corps to send the water into the floodplains where it would flow naturally if not leveed for our protection.  And we had to water our gardens to stop them from drying up at the same time.

The earth is speaking to us... we need to listen before it's too late.
