People have this impression that I came to my understanding of love by sitting up in Luna in the lotus position, chanting OM, with birds chirping all around me. I can talk about love with conviction not because of some foo-foo New Age thing but because going through one of the hardest experiences of my life is what taught me about honoring the sacred.
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....
Great, Julia!
Lots of love from Normandy, France!????
and love to you 🙂
Yes..you were a Marine Corps soldier of Nature….Nature’s warrior
The love of my life served in the Marines for 22 years… our connection that we both were/are committed to service. He was taken by cancer which is why there is some past tense in my reply.
Love and Thank you,
julia
Hello Julia – for several months I’ve been wundering when I would get the inspiration/energy to write to you again. Very happily it’s turned out to be today. Late last nite it was one of the most heartening experiences for me ever, to see your email message about your new website(or whatever it is) – the new manifestation of you simply doing more of the beautiful things that you do – then awoke this am much faster than usual, figuring out what I needed to say here. It was this snapshot of the hideous cut done to Luna, with those awesomely well designed steel contraptions, lovingly added to support her, that made me realize something. There was you doing all the things you did for so long to keep that tree and all the others like her alive, while there was one other individual with …..with such a common tool and such an ugly, opposite intent in his/her mind that most people could hardly believe it unless actually seeing the result of it. And the bothe of you have one thing perfectly in common with each other, which is the same thing that all seven(+) billion of us have perfectly in common with all seven(+) billion of the others of us; that mysterious thing that we commonly call human nature. Isn’t it about time for us to try getting rid of all the mysteries about it? Isn’t it about time that we should work at learning why we are able to use our whole lives to try making this world a heaven for our selves and every one else as well as to make this world a hell for our selves and for everyone else? …..maybe you will have remembered about me by this point? (I’m hoping so) (and only hoping you will smile here too) 🙂 and this is where I have to say the thing that all normal people seem to have all sorts of negative feelings about – I think I have come to possess a fairly accurate understanding of the human nature thing, after studying it for about 65 years, and I would like to help every one understand it at least as well as I do, if only they would like to try it. But I don’t know how. Even worse, even more than that I have no idea of how to help anyone become interested in this crazy idea of working to understand why so many of us act in so many harmfull and destructive ways. …..unless ofcourse, posting this silly reply will start having the desired affect on someone/anyone. One other thing that I’ve come to realize in this process (along with numerous other processes actually) is that on a continuum of how well people can accomplish things which they serious want to accomplish most, I would rate, not just near but extremely near, the lower end of the spectrum. So… i’ve now started realizing here that what I’m doing is reaching out to the universe for help in this strange endeavor to absolutely anyone who might share my interest in it. And thankyou Julia for giving this place and this inspiration for doing this, no matter how little or how much it may be worth, Rus
