In Violation!
Over the past few thousand years, humankind has regarded Nature as property. 
This concept is rooted in biblical text and has spawned generations who have regarded themselves as having dominion over the Earth. 
The feudal system was based on dominion and continues today as a land-grab mentality, based on the principles of ownership and extraction. 
Where we are at this point in time is the evolution of that concept, that biblical teaching, where we are now forced to try to manage degradation of the environment rather than prevent it. 
We blow the tops off mountains to extract minerals. 
Hundreds of chemicals are injected into the Earth to extract gas. 
The filth of Tar Sands is hailed as our energy saviour! 
Seed is wrenched from us to be “owned” by corporations like Monsanto. 
Presidents enact laws to protect these creatures of destruction from the very courts that are there to protect you! Nine days ago I started a petition.

Nine days ago I drew my line in the sand, deciding to refuse to comply with laws that violate Mother Earth and the abundance she so generously bestows upon us. 
My own line in the sand has been confirmed this morning as the decision to refuse to comply with all laws that violate Mother Earth has been made. 
The days of fence sitting are over. The gloves are off

I feel inspired to make a big pot of vege soup too. The wind was howling here last night and although the sun is out this morning, it is still pretty cold.
Sam is such a sweetie =^.^= hugs for all the furry friends at Bealtaine

These images of a snow scene reflected in the window panes and framed in shades of aquamarine, alongside your description of a howling wind carrying snow inland from the Atlantic, are lyrical and lovely. I particularly liked the idea of Spring being ‘Called’.
Snowcat Sam with his perfectly folded-up paws, delicate pink ears, and extremely photogenic ‘purrsona’ ….completes an enchanting picture of a West of Ireland morning!

I am reading this at just before 9pm and the wind is howling and shrieking around in the darkness outside. The storm has returned!
I shall have an early night and keep the cats on the bed…their collective purring should distract from the storm!
Blessings from all

This winter we have had little snow, while your rain and now storm has come so the snow has come for us. The last several weeks have brought and seems to keep coming with more snow this evening. I now am wondering about my March start in the garden since I now have several feet of snow on the ground. Mother nature is teaching me to dance and I am excited to learn her ways.
*****************************
Time to start off seeds in the warmth of indoors and be prepared to pot them on, so as when they do go into the ground they will be strong and ready to grow fast. We adapt to the weather and keep in tune with Nature as she struggles.
Bealtaine Cottage Blessings to you and all in your home

The simple life is the most pleasing! Nine years of living frugally at Bealtaine Cottage has taught me that!
