I’m not fearless…

I’m not fearless. I’m just willing to love so much that I don’t let fear stop me.

Recognizing the Nature of our human nature

Part of the reason why our world and planet are facing such crisis is because we have become disconnected from the NATURE of our human nature. And in order to find our truest nature for ourselves, there must be a connection to the nature that we're a part of....

The Caterpillar and our addiction to Comfortability

In our culture, we are manifesting an addiction to comfortability. We are birthing an addict society. I went through a time in my life where I was a major drug and alcohol addict. And so I know, on a very real level, what addiction is. As a society, we are being...

    I love that, Sis. My Mother and I made and brought soup and homemade rolls to your encampment I was so touched by what you did climbing up into Luna’s boughs to save her. We both were working as Home Health Nursing Assistants (Private Care!) and going to school at Humboldt State at the time working on our Master’s degrees in Anthropology/Ethnic Studies. My Mom always was an early enviromentalist, who cared deeply for the enviroment and instilled in us children those same qualities to care about our Mother Earth and all her creatures, Great and Small.

    What if one transitions from a place of openness and ability to live with love to a place of fearfulness and introversion? Is there any way to go back to the place of living with love, instead of living with fear?

    • Julia Butterfly Hill

      Of course there is always a way to return to love. We treat fear like it means “stop!” But fear is actually only meant to be a pause where we take deep breaths, become present, and then choose from there. It is a moment by moment choice. 🙂 Thanks for your message and question A.J.

      Love,

    Dear Julia, I saw a film about Lina and you in Germany last Monday. I read the book now and I’m so touched in my heart from all of that. You are absolutely great.
    Peace and love

    I have now read the book about Luna and you and watched the film again. It all touched me very much in the heart and I also felt your pain and I had to cry terribly over and over again. It is terrible what is happening on our planet, it is getting worse and worse and I am more and more sure that we as individuals cannot prevent the catastrophe on earth. It leaves me so helpless and I don’t know what to do.

    • Julia Butterfly Hill

      All i do i wake up every day and ask myself, “What can i do with this life i have been given?” And then i do that! It is all i can do, but all i can do is bringing the best of me to a hurting world and planet. You have it within you too Albert.

      Love,

    25 years ago was the beginning of the journey. Many blessings to you as you continue to discern how to be your wild and authentic soulful self. I wish you courage, fierceness, wisdom and love. Hearing your story helped me step out of my safe career to become a wilderness, eco-awakening, and soul guide.

    • Julia Butterfly Hill

      Thank you for your message Brian, and i am so very glad you are following your authentic calling!!
      Love,

    Butterfly, I introduced you and your journey with Luna to my children, Escher, is 8 and so passionate about the forest and animals (he is of wolf spirit) and he wanted to know everything there was to know and lit up while I read Luna and Me. He made some art I’d love to share, but either way, thank you for being exactly who you are, the kids are rooting for you now and always

    • Julia Butterfly Hill

      Thank you Amethyst and thank Escher for me!

      Love,

    I was just wondering…
    Is Luna threatened by the many wildfires happening? I hope not.
    I wish you the very best, although I am not a positive person like you.
    I´m a pessimist. Love, Fox.

    • Julia Butterfly Hill

      So far Luna is ok Fox.

      Love,

      So far Luna is safe.
