[Dialogue] CLIMATE MARCH

[David Zahrt]

Dear Colleagues,

How many miles do you plan to walk next year? Have you heard of, or seen
any information about, *The Great Climate March*? Here is the web address
for the information http://climatemarch.org.

How many colleagues would consider Marching from Santa Monica, CA to WDC?
Get the Route from the Web Page: choose the first selection *March*
andscroll down to the first selection
*Route.*

What’s the chance of connecting with each other, periodically, during the
March? Imagine how much Walking Meditation we could do! Or how much
Journaling you could do while crossing the Nation!

The website tells

·      the significance of such Marches,

·      when this March will start [*Mar 1, 2014*],

·      when it will end [*Nov 2014*], and

·      lists the itinerary,

·      *+* much more.

It will be coming across the nation from Santa Monica, CA, to WDC. It may
be near you, your relatives, colleagues or friends. It would be interesting
to check it out.

I’m making plans to do the March. It’s an enormous commitment and its clear
to me that this is an action that needs to be taken for the future of
Planet Earth. It’s a step toward changing the way our
Consume-and-Throw-Away-Lifestyle is altering the climate. We’re Marching to
shift the mindset on climate so our grandchildren will have a future!



I’ve created a mantra that I’m using to help me maintain a commitment to
the March.

*“If any will take the Great Climate March to save Mother Earth they will
have to abandon life as it is. Whoever will lose his or her life, to change
the Consume-and-Throw-Away Life-Style to save Planet Earth, shall find it.”*



I think those on the March will need to sing as we march. In the 1990’s I
returned to the Family Farm, along the Loess Hills in Iowa. I wrote a song,
about my return, to the tune of ‘Blue Ridge Mountain Blues’—my words
attached ‘ROLLIN’ LOESS HILLS BLUES; tune on Utube. <

I haven’t been able to write a song since so I think I’ll be contacting the
Raging Grannies < http://raginggrannies.net> and see if they can help
generate some songs for the March. I'll bet there are some on this
List-Serve that could generate a significant song.

If you have interest in:

·      Signing up for the March go to the Web Page and scroll down *Get
Involved* to *Apply to March*

·      Supporting the March you can go to *Donate*

·      Supporting David go to

If you contributed a dollar a day your contribution would be $250! I’d be
honored to have your support, whatever it may be.

If you want to participate in the March vicariously please be sure I have
your contact information.
