Story & Experience

Friedman

We just arrived last night, and it was the first opportunity I had to download our Global Earth Exchange photo this morning. Here it is. Again, unfortunately, we wound up doing it with people who preferred not to have their photos posted to the internet, so all I have to offer is this photo of our bird. We wound up doing the Exchange for water, again, instead of the highway, because we found ourselves at a dam and it felt like the right place to receive our loving energy. The kids were very invested in it, and there were two more kids who participated, one 3 and one 14 years old. We were more spontaneous than we had been in other years, but the kids made sure we had a pot to collect reservoir water in, and we all charged it together. It was the first time for the other family. The kids noticed how people are drawn to water… this was a pretty busy beach, actually, and they talked about giving back to the water the beauty we seek in it. The area around the dam had been recently flooded, but sending the charged water into the reservoir seemed to energize the land around it as well.
