Story & Experience

I was in Ridgeway this weekend for a spiritual workshop. As I was journaling on Sunday morning, watching the heavy smoke from the fires further south drift in and cover the mountains, I thought of the Earth Exchange and made a RadJoy bird with sticks and stones near me. It was to honor all of the places that have been devastated by the fires. Whether the earth’s damage is due to man’s uncaring treatment of the earth or natural causes, the devastation has the same effect. I didn’t get any photos but did participate, albeit a day later than everybody else. And, I got my organic T-shirt in the mail. Thank you very much!
