This word miracle, or magic – it only happens where we don’t know it, where we don’t expect it. If a magician does something and we know what they did, that’s not magic! It’s only in the unknown space that the miracle and magic of our lives can really come forth. Even if you haven’t had a traumatic experience, even if you’re not as sensitive as I am and feel the suffering of the world as deeply as I do, if you’re interested in experiencing a whole new level of the miracle and the magic of your life, it can only happen in the uncomfortable, unknown territory. And what greater place to have that cultivated and drawn out than in a group that’s committed to that.

Julia,
I attended your presentation at the University of Wyoming soon after Luna. It was an inspiration though I never considered myself an environmentalist, I still could make a little difference. I hoped at the time that you wouldn’t be pulled too many directions. Maybe you can find some nature and peace to think. I like to just sit in the woods. C.B.
Hi Julia … It’s Nick Checker. You might remember me from when you were still holding vigil in Luna’s branches. I am a writer who admired your heroic stand on behalf of Luna and our environment. We exchanged a number of postcard communications and you sent me a complimentary signed copy of your book. I still have all of these items and will always value them. I have since seen several plays & indie films of mine produced and have had several novels published too. Currently, I am developing a new novel (adaptation of a screenplay I had done years ago), “When the Raven Flies.” It touches on subject matter I believe you will appreciate. So, just trying to reconnect here and hoping we might stay in touch. Your website, your writings, and your past endeavors are inspirational entities as I further develop this story, which I hope will not only engage readers, but also give them cause to think about the value of Nature. Take care … Nick
