Trepidation over the dire implications. My service is to be Precinct Committee woman (commonly called 'Precinct Captain' for district 523 in Sarasota County) -- for the past 10 years; my activities include educating local Democrats and Independents on the qualifications of those running for office, Doing 'lit drops' -- dropping off literature about upcoming elections and candidates, Signing them up to VBM (Vote By Mail) and asking them to volunteer. I also promote growing butterfly gardens and sustainable local fauna in my neighborhood -- instead of replacing greenery with stones!!!!! I also provide financial support to various not for profits re: climate change, saving wildlife, and promoting justice. My will priortizes the latter in all my giving after my final demise. My meditation practices include hiking in local trails in our nearby tropical forests, playing the piano (jazz) daily, attending musical concerts and participating in two musical groups, one of them whose mission is to promote peace and social justice. Final comment -- Every phase of my life has been a joy -- I'm still so happy being on Planet Earth -- in spite of the enormous challenges we have to save it and our democracy.

The difference it makes for me is awareness of a kind of synchronicity to my days. Not necessarily easier, but things just seem to fall in place in often unexpected ways.

I appreciate that Linda reminds us often on Facebook of the number of days left to radically reduce carbon in the atmosphere in this critical decade. We can each make a positive difference in the lives of those around us and in our own life. And as Margaret Wheatley says, we each need an "island of sanity" to live on and with while we do what we can and enjoy this precious life.

We here in Redlands are working with the Denver ANCA model, thanks to my lovely wife, Linda. Your mention of Doughnut Economics brought up the summer film series we are doing here. The first two got good reception and brought out some new volunteers: Facing Adversity, Choosong Earth, Choosing Life, the Duane Elgin film, and Breaking Boundaries, narrated by David Attenborough. The August preview will be The Sequel, based on David Fleming’s work, features briefly Raworth an Doughnut Econimics.

Our OE/ICA teachings invite us, as you well know, to live in the present in mystery, consciousness, care, and tranquility, and to help create a better future through our every thought, word, and deed. I know that some of my colleagues are doing or supporting wonderful initiatives to awaken people to climate change adaptation and mitigation, such as in the Denver region, help the homeless, such as Kaze Gadway in Albuquerque, defend women's rights and representational democracy, and much more. I would love to know what you are doing, are planning to do, or hoping to do, so that we can learn from and support one another. One small example, in the past few months I have been part of a group of local citizens here in the mountains of western North Carolina discussing and taking action in the Swannanoa watershed to create a safe, just, social and economic foundation and space for all the people while not overshooting the ecological ceiling. We are using the model of Doughnut Economics developed by Kate Raworth of the UK. I understand that Karen Troxel and Jan Sanders discussed this model in a recent ICA calendar event. Sometimes I use ToP methods with the group. You might be interested in using the Doughnut in your local area. The model is attached to this email. Please let me know if you would like further info. Of course, whatever we are doing or not doing, we need to take good care of our body-mind to stay present, grateful, happy, and healthy. For example, I practice mindful breathing throughout each day to care for myself so that I might be available to help others. What are some of your practices of self care?
