Type of Wounded Place
Story & Experience
Here’s a photo of a RadJoy bird in my garden made of stuff found while digging new flowers and veggie beds. The intention was set for the whole of Talgarth which has an old and derelict mental hospital which is supposed to be redeveloped but asbestos is causing problems. Also a bypass has been made cutting deep into the hillside one side of the town. On the up side the old water mill has been rescued and is now grinding flour for the local bakery so there’s plenty to be thankful for. Saturday turned out to be quite an earth friendly day, by chance?!!! or perhaps not! The local Greenpeace group put on a fantastic gig, local musicians and talk, which drew in a lot of people, many with an awareness of spiritual connection to the earth. (NOTE: Annie Fraser was one of the spinners who donated the golden wool for this year’s Global Earth Exchange.)
