Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Hym]

Been away for a while, working with friends again, taking a small part in healing a union that sorely needs the look inside, needing to speak up, to stand up and count itself amongst the living...

When I come back here to Bill and Friends I ask myself what thread I should go into and I see this one about Foxie Loxie...It then is no question to where my attention should go.

Rare is the Gem called Avalon.
Far beyond the machinations of the manipulative darkness, is the light carried by the Heartfelt Souls who contribute to the Life of this Project......

The Projection of An Earthly Avalon, the Most Worthy Tulpa created by those here...Truly having an effect upon the little world we temporarily live in, one bound only by those limitations we allow ourselves to accept.

It's Shining Value is embodied in all we have been privileged to share With Her, From Her, By Her, For Her and Us...

I sent her a message...

"Love is your expression
A reflection of the warmth within You
Covering us all
In the protective layers of consciousness....

The honesty of your intention
I admire and hold dear in my days here
I Thank You, Dearest of Souls....

It is so natural and easy to say

In Love I have found You
In me."

[Hym]

While traveling into town with my son, yesterday, and listening to him passionately tell me about seeking equitable financial justice for the many months of collaborative music he is making, with no support from his fellow musicians.....I talked to him about Foxie and how much I appreciate her insights and openness, as well as the support she receives here on Avalon. It seemed a distraction to him until I told him about her and what I have learned from her sharing here.

She was obviously on my mind and even though he knows little beyond my appreciation for the humanity I find so vibrant and alive here in Avalon, especially with so much respectful challenging and prodding we do for each other, he knew that there existed for me a soulfull experience from this woman. I shared with my son how quickly Foxie seemed to grow into her awarenesses, though it all is the confirmation of the humanity and heart she always had in her.

It was easy to see and feel thru her sharing with us, just as others do here, the necessary balance between the passions we have and the need for conscious examination of the important choices we make.... A constant reminder to check into the infinite resources available to each of us when we Listen to our Hearts.


A reminder that there is no distance or time when a Heart is open, unfettered by all of the distractions that melt at the sight of a smile like hers, for the Heart that makes those smiles cannot be described, just enjoyed.

Yes, beautiful! I downloaded it and several others from iTunes.
It's been a relaxing afternoon with the Bersarin Quartett.

Making evolution more inclusive??? I did not know that we control evolution, at least until the last decade.

Ok, worms are hermaphrodites, well not even, they can be self regenerating. Do we have to go back to being worms? Before the heteronormative?

Here and now: had a discussion about this with Mini Flash this week, her telling me I had an open heart but a close mind for LGBT+++, me telling her this was either an hormonal imbalance throughout our societies playing fool and having the kids ever increasingly numerous in bi-tri- whatever sexual identification different than hetero. Or it was a social brainwashing, but that the problem had to be adressed without constant bashing from the non "heteronormative" groups. Our specie survival depends on it.

My darling daughter is practicing her song which she will present at her college.

She cannot even guess how much I like hearing her nice voice and her composition. How soothing and good it feels to me.

Also, she is now wanting to write something on discrimination towards the handicap people, how little we listen to them, and how it feels to be obliterated kind of. I do not know if she will write this book (language usage is her main handicap) but I know now she will go far in self accomplishment and most probably in helping others in a larger scale than most.

Gosh I will miss her when she leaves my home probably next September.

Evolution?
On this planet, there is one particular species refusing to evolve.
The culture/ reign of mind is over.
Most don't get it.

Adult Male California Condor (#374) Spreads Wings In the Sun (45 seconds)

Sure they have huge wings, but did you know that a California Condor's size makes it difficult to lift off? These gargantuan scavengers make up for it by using high perches to facilitate easier take-offs.

Sure they have huge wings, but did you know that a California Condor's size makes it difficult to lift off? These gargantuan scavengers make up for it by using high perches to facilitate easier take-offs.

The California Condor cam is a collaboration between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Santa Barbara Zoo, the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

This view of the Hutton's Bowl California Condor Nest is a new view set up from across the canyon, giving a view of the nesting area as well as the surrounding cliff faces that the chick #923 has been traversing. If the chick's not visible on this cam, be sure to check on the nest cam itself at http://allaboutbirds.org/condors

Loving this - anyone visiting here is fascinated by the busy feeder and variety. At the moment, neighbour’s daft cat hasn’t attempted another snatch and grab, but it’s only a matter of time... Gave him breakfast today to take his ‘hungry edge’ off 🙀

About 3 hours ago, a fire broke out at a camp ground some 10 miles (give or take) from Sierra's home in California. It's dry as a bone there, and the winds are blowing toward Sierra's home. The road out is blocked with stopped cars and so she is trying to figure a way out.

[Valerie Villars]

Why the heck are the cars stopped? Can't she head opposite the fire as fast as she can? Most distressing. Does she have a bike or a horse? I'm assuming she called 911?

Fire both sides. Mountain roads through forests on fire with everyone trying to get out. Nasty.

[Valerie Villars]

Can she just hike out of there via the road? As fast as possible?
