Our Soul Sheds Tears

OUR SOUL SHEDS TEARS
In my meditation this morning I began to concentrate on my soul; sort of looking for where it is in my body. I know though that my total body is my soul. It is not a place: It is all of who I am. As I sat and quietly and I watched my breathe, the term “soul force” came to…

OCEAN’S CHOISE
Really! Flager Beach Ocean, what were you up to that day?
How do you choose?
It all seemed pleasant.
Enjoying our selves.
As we sat on warm sand; watching people play.
In waves not too rough for a brave few.
Then down the beach a bit, voices of alarm.
Oh, come now, it’s a beautiful, sunny, fall, day.
A few begin to run.
Why…

One of my thrills being back in Gainesville after three years is my return to the McRorie Community Garden on SW 4th Ave. I planted it early this fall with the help of a friend who maintained it while I was away. I’m so impressed about how productive it quickly became with very large broccoli heads, prolific and large collard leaves, salad greens galore and other veggies.
Something came to mind about gardening that I hadn’t quite felt before: How gardening is a…

BREATHING IN MT. RAINER
Harry was sitting on a bench near Puget Sound with a fixated stare 50-miles away at mammoth Mt. Rainer. He was feeling a connection, inwardly laughing, musing to himself: “we’re both part of the earth; she just happened to grow a bit larger than me.” He wondered if there was a way to make a tangible,… Continue
Back in Gainesville after three years in Seattle
Posted on July 31, 2011 at 12:59pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
After living in Seattle for the past three years, I moved back to Gainesville a month ago. My first impression, a feeling really, was that Gainesville felt as close to me as my skin. Lying in bed on one of those first nights I easily thought of all the things I love about this city. The first week I walked out on Bolens Bluff to the lookout platform on Paynes Prairie. I find that place as sacred and peaceful as any place I’ve meditated. A few days later I was on the wooded paths of…

Could you please post your reading list? I've enjoyed the books and magazines you gave me so much. Sojourners, The Sun, etc... It's a new world to me, these deep, moving, thoughtful publications oriented toward spirituality, helping others and creative writing. Activism, too - and social work. I love it, and I've finally worked my way through the magazines and books. I think everyone here at Zoobird would like to read a Reading List from Sh'mal - maybe here on your home page.
In fact, I think I'll include a new profile question for everyone asking what their Reading List is.
Chow for now, Mike
Have you seen The Soloist, or read it? I saw the movie yesterday, and had to get the book. I think we both can relate to Steve and his friend, Nathanial. Julliard and music hold strongly in my heart, but even stronger the needs of the mentally ill and neglected.
Sh'mal, I've enjoyed reading about your experiences as a Social Worker.
I relate......Lois Hudson
Thank you for writing, and I am glad that you have enjoyed the posts from Thailand and India. I will post more images when I get to another location. I hope that this email finds you well, and enjoying the beautiful Northwest. Seattle is lucky to have you!
Best to you,
Ron
I went to the Fall Harvest Fest at Indigo, led by Abundant Edible Landscapes, yesterday. It was very informative. I took lots of pictures and plan to write it up in my blog and Elephant Journal later today. Meanwhile, I took lots of pictures and put them in an album called "Fall Harvest Fest".
I want to hear all about your Seattle gardening adventures!
Talk to you soon,
Michael
Nice hearing from you and such nice things about my son. He just recently became interested and excited about community gardening. I've been outside, in humid ,sizzling Houston, watching from a distance the birds and squirrels eating the food I put down for them. They seem grateful. Lois
