Re: Trees —- and trees made of trees —- that heal and stabilize ecologies. Gifts of the Aspen Trees from (the trees! and) our friend Steven Morgan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBmXWWvvWlk

' This is the story of how I became whole. Some days, it feels like both fire and water live within me. They dance and swirl around one another. In the morning when I wake up, each bows to the other, honoring themselves as equals, as beautiful. When I go to sleep at night they wish each other good dreams. They teach me how it could have been when Columbus first stepped upon Taino shores: a meeting of two long lost brothers, embracing each other and celebrating their unique cultures. They teach me how things can be for our children in the future.

Because that’s what matters most, doesn’t it? Not how the story goes… but how it ends. We each hold a pen. Let us co-author a story of how humanity fell in love with itself and its Mother Earth once again. '

What does it mean to bridge emergent strength?

' Dear readers, it is with deeply mixed emotions that I write to say that this will be the last monthly issue of The MOON for the foreseeable future.

The MOON’s success at attracting great writers has created a huge pile of submissions to read each month (and in truth, I don’t get to all of them).

In addition, the production aspect of reading widely to identify prospective interview subjects, scheduling and interviewing said thought-leaders, transcribing and editing the interviews, reviewing films, finding quotes for MOON Shine, selecting and editing all of the essays, memoirs, poetry, and short stories and uploading them, along with author bios, on a monthly basis has become too much.

I’d hoped to raise enough funds to hire assistance, but that hasn’t happened (though I am forever grateful to you wonderful readers and writers who have contributed). 

Therefore, I’m signing off for now and taking a break.

I’m including the donation links for old times’ sake.

Maybe donations will suffice to pay me to write a grant or two that could underwrite The MOON for another few years.

But if not, no worries.

I am proud of the work The MOON has shared since December 2012.

I couldn’t have done it without all you writers and readers.

Thank you and boundless blessings to each and every one of you.

So here’s last call: if you value The MOON, please consider a contribution to keep her shining. There are two ways to contribute: via our secure PayPal link, or our Patreon page, where you can become a continuing supporter of The MOON for as little as $1/month.

And to you beautiful souls who already support The MOON, thank you!

You will forever inhabit a special place in my heart. '

' The subtext of Indigenous education is love. Language, kinship roles, hunting skills, song sequences, etc. are often merely a medium through which we convey the deeper lesson of love. '

What exists is poverty, famine, endemics smell of death and sadness everywhere .
Briefly , there is no life in Yemen.
I am wondering what the world needs else to put an end to this horrible ongoing war .
Please stop reporting and act .
We fed up with only talking
