Church of the Good Earth 1963 and Beyond

I'm glad we have this place here, where we can at least gather in some form and be together. To know how things and going in our lives and caring, really caring and showing that we care. Being there for each other in force, full metal with our shields of love protecting one another. The ones that keep coming and posting and sucking up the love are fairing better it seems.

Ranger and Rita got a home. Ranger is getting his surgeries. Mouseman recovered from his lung collaps. I have been spared from the tornados. Cheryl was saved from the flood. Chris keeps getting stronger, Zev's mouth tumor was cured. What other wonders has our fountain of love benefited.

We need to get everyone to come in and post more, the stronger we are, the stronger we are

love, love, love

Once upon a time, I knew a gentleman who was a generation older them me and he was living and breathing using only one half of one lung. He was actually my father-in-law. He lived on for a very very long time.
There are always other doctors out there. Who knows?

Beyond that. What? Maybe smoothies made out of lots of fresh parsley. Get Chris to get some of the neighbor kids or teens to bring in fresh kelp when they surf. Ship it to you so she has kelp smoothies. Talk with Chris about what he does. Find out what works for him. Ship your sister to his island house. We'll start a new fund. Why not. There is always heart.

There is always hope.

Seek.

Ask Chris and Ask others. search on-line. Find people support groups on-line and maybe in the real world.

Yes, Death Rebirth. Yes, eternity. Is she ready? How does she feel? Is it her time? Do we know? Or does she have more.

I feel, take all of your feelings and turn them. All from yourself to her. Make them all for her. All of your thoughts and all of your love. Zen your heartbreak all into heart blossom, every time that you start to feel your pain. Think of a good and special times with her. Feel and be that.

See her now as much as you can and hug her as much as you can. Now is really all that any of us have. So. Be here Now.

Cakes, know any Scottish Hippies?
Maybe You?

…that the Longtime Sunshine song was actually written by a Scottish, psychedelic folk group called, “The Incredible String Band.” (They played at the original Woodstock.)

It’s actually “long time sun shine” so play attention to the real hippies, who know stuff like this. Don’t get steered wrong by gurus and experts and fakirs. The road to understanding is long. Taking wrong turns along the way only makes it longer.
Always deal with certified real hippies®.

The 4th track on the 1968 album "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter" by The Incredible String Band. "A Very Cellular Song" is written by Mike Heron.




May the long time sun shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide you all the way on.


Don’t go here.
You need to be in the right frame of mind. And have the time to sit and feel.


Wait


…and when you have the time.

And have the quiet peace of mind.

Feel this medicine.



Feel and understand what the words feel and show to you.

Re: Ranger

He's in ICU. They opened up his carotid artery yesterday and got out the 90% blockage. She's worried that he may be going. I'm going up there now. To kick his butt.

Now, he wants to go off in to the woods and die, again. I am Really Tempted.

Kenny

 

on the phone with Rita.. hit your knees ppl.. it's not good

 

The docs are want to inubate and of course Ranger does not want them to vent him. He is very weak and his O2 Sat is very low. He needs more oxygen in his system. He's hanging littlerly by a thread, as that is as big a vien he has.. 95% blockage <tears>

 

Jesus Q Handbasket....Ranger called me last week wanting to get in touch with Bill Huckaba so Rita could have a place and some people in Tucson. We must've hung on the phone for an hour...I told him I was going to try and come down there on the 13th, but obviously that ain't happening.

So heartening to see everyone chiming in to convince him to live. We all know Ranger's got a stubborn streak as wide as the interstate....he's not known as Thud for nothing. We can only hope and pray that the docs are committed to not giving up on their patient, and their patient is committed to staying on this side of the dirt.

Kenny, please keep us posted. My thoughts with you all. Rita, wishing you strength. Thuddles, please hang in....as Dan Hicks used to sing, it's not your time to go.

 

I'm on my knees.

 

Lovin you Cheryl

TD, glad to see you we need all the good energy we can muster.

worry worry.. pacing the inner floor of my mind, trying not to let my heart know .

The cosmos is a strange thing; I woke up this morning with that song in my mind; "May the long time sun shine upon you...". That tune has been very special to me for many years, and it is one of the few prayers/wishes I hold sacred.
Many years ago when I lived in Ash Valley with the rest of the Commune there, I was coming home from town in "the Red truck" (52 Chevy pick up; no back window), it was Winter and there was a lot of snow on the ground. Some distance up the river and climbing the mountain I came upon fellow hitch hiking up river; he was dressed in the most amazing buckskins from head to toe which had this fabulous eagle decoration made from porqupine quills on the chest of his shirt. I picked him up and ended taking him way out of my way up a logging road as far as it went at which point he said he would have to walk (a couple miles) through the snow to get to his cabin. He asked if I would like to visit and I went along. It was pure magic. When we arrived at a clearing some long distance later there was this idyllic log cabin and his family (2 kids, 1 wife) happily awaiting his return. It was like stepping back in time 150 years. After a mind boggling visit I started my trek back and as I was leaving the clearing they were singing that song to me ; " May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you, guide your way on".
Some long time later I retraced my trip back there; I needed to know the words to that song! They still were there (it wasn't the Twilight zone) and I asked him to tell me the word to that song. I've never forgotten it. Some years later I found it on that "Incredible String Band" album. It became one of my all time favorite albums, and I played it to death.

Ranger, I would very much like to see you on my way back to Oregon; what do you say?
LOVE & GOOD VIBES
Mouseman

 

KENNY!! What news do you carry from Ranger.. plz tell

where'd Kenny go Kenny?

 

Hi everyone, this is Ken's girlfriend Mary Jo... Ken just got back from Prescott and is falling asleep on his feet, so I told him I was going to write a quick note to say that Ranger was doing MUCH better today!

Ranger was awake, talking, and Ken was visiting him most of the day today with Rita. Ken's been gone since yesterday afternoon and he and Rita tried to get online to update everyone and couldn't get internet service.

I hear that Rita is also exhausted and probably won't post right away... The long and short is so far so good! The thing that had the staff so concerned last night was his O2 level, apparently it was REALLY bad and is much better now. Possibly heart surgery on Monday, they'll see how he does. I'm sure they'll update you more when they can! They were telling Ranger how everyone was praying for him and looking for news and he loved hearing that. That's it for now, have a good night folks!

Mary Jo for Kenny
xo

 

Hi Mary Jo,
Thanks for the update.. I have been sitting on pins and needles all day. I am much relieved as is everyone else I'm sure.

Thank Kenny for us too.
