EarthDay Birthday April 22, 2020 Dear Keepers of Earth and Lovers of Gaia, Wow, what a ride! 50 years ago in 1970, Harvard grad student Denis Hayes organized the modern environmental movement that focused attention on protecting our Earth. Climate change was not even in the national discussion at that time. Today, as Earth Day gatherings and activities have moved indoors, Denis Hayes urges us to reimagine Election Day as yet another Earth Day, and encourages us to "vote for the Earth". Today is also the first day of the new moon, in Taurus, a great time to align with the positive aspect of the "stubborness of a bull" energy, to take action and persist in the ways we choose to, to make necessary changes in the very roots of our foundational being. On this first day of a waxing moon, I welcome the descent of Śakti energy, in the form of Devi Śailaputri, stepping down the mountain as we call on Gaia to help us, to forgive us, to receive our gratitude, and to renew herself as she renews us. It is said that she takes 1,000 steps toward us if we take just a single step towards her. She is connected to the root çakra, the Earth or muladhāra çakra ... what a perfect alignment for this time! Step, even one step, on Earth! What values do we want to hold onto with the persistence of a bull? What values / opinions / beliefs can be discarded as no longer holding true or relevant to today's world? I write to you hoping that you are well and safe as possible. If you are one of the many who have lost a loved one or are concerned about loved ones, I hope that you find peace along the way. I pray that we know how to shoulder our world's hardships and suffering collectively, and truly become a united community for the good of all our relations. May we never go "back to normal!"

As you most likely know, drumming and singing are good for our health! On every level ... emotional, physical, spiritual, mental!
