lehua, and plumeria trees in Hawai'i and moss-bewhiskered magnolias in
Florida. I have hiked in the Sierras, in the Rockies, in Sedona, Arizona, in
the Great Smokey Mountains. When my mother passed away, my yoga
teacher and I backpacked her body's pastel-colored ashes in a cardboard
box 14,000 feet to Upper Lamarck Lake, reverently burying them on an
island in the middle of a river surrounded by virgin forest.
My loving soul, and my deep relationship with God, on this earth plane, are
directly related to my gratitude for green growing things, especially pine,
spruce, and fir trees. As an adolescent, I used to climb out my bedroom
window to sit and read poetry in the branches of a Norway pine that grew
politely beside the house. I often teetered along the top of the fence to visit a
magnificent weeping willow in a neighbor's adjoining yard. I have hugged a
number of trees out of reverent delight in their patience, virtue and mastery
of beauty. I have searched out the secret silent places in the giant bamboo
forests of Hawai'i. I have always, always, as far back as I can remember,
loved trees.
Please save them from devastation from global warming, harvesting without
replanting, and insect hordes."

"...I had one foot in the physical world and one foot in the heavens. I
became familiar with the "inner planes". I continued to remember previous
lives, remembered the plane I lived on before this incarnation, and why I
chose to incarnate. I was
contacted by my trusty and helpful guides, by the Master Jesus
and Lady Mary, by the Master Djwal Khul, by Lady Quan Yin, by the
Lady Isis and Horus, by Apollo, Aphrodite, Zeus, Hermes, and Pluto, by
angels and archangels, and by departed spirits (which was fascinating,
although sometimes scary). I had a multi-dimensional near-death
experience that taught me what is waiting for me when I finally do pass
on, so I no longer worry about what might happen. I found myself going
over my astrological studies and narrative research, making notes and
many revisions that would later become the foundation for a book about how
astrology works.

3. As progressed Mercury became stationary and prepared to go direct,
subtle shifts in perception began to happen. I found myself working on the
astrology book and realizing it is coming together nicely and is informative
and interesting. I was approached by a pretty good publisher (and am still
taking offers). I heard from an old friend who lived in Nepal, Tibet and
India and worked near the Dalai Lama with whom I had been out of
touch. I started this web page/blog. I suddenly and surprisingly became
interested in studying the astrology of politics, which I had previously
avoided like the plague (partially connected with Moon p conjunct
Midheaven r in Aquarius). I began writing to my Representatives, to
Senators and Congresspersons, and to the Governor, about world peace
initiatives, the U.S. Department of Peace Bill, and the plight of the
homeless. My correspondence increased."

My wish that my health will improve has had some results - although it is
still touch and go sometimes. Mercury is opening up new doors for me,
including nutrition and detoxification. And, I will continue to keep you
informed of the changes through the mailings. (If you would like to join the

Love, Light, Peace, Joy, Abundance and a Cool, Green Earth!

"I grew up in the city, among man-made things not always conducive to
well-being, where the most important thing in my subjective life, next to books
and language, was green growing things. I went to Golden Gate Park
regularly, communing with nature as often as possible. My mother was wise
enough to know I had that kind of temperament and took me on road trips to
explore nature's beauty up and down the coast from SoCal to Washington,
across the continent to New York, across Canada to Montreal and back (in
the midst of the heaviest blizzard that tree-blessed Canada had seen in 14
years). I later discovered the tropics, drinking in long-fingered pines,
