It’s a special place in nature that I go to meditate and sometimes observe nature. Well I have two but my favorite was on my way to work. It was an oasis in an urban environment where I found my balance each day.

Well, it’s gone.  The area is now full of construction equipment and the trees were ripped from their foundation. Then they were piled one on top of each other like corpses with roots exposed to the sun. They looked like bodies about to be dumped in a mass grave, but there was no grave. The trees were mulched and made to disappear.

The hawk, turtle, opossum and countless other animals that lived there are now homeless.

I no longer have a sacred area to pray.

I feel the loss much more than I thought I would. I had befriended many of the trees. I cringe at the naked ground unprotected like the strip mines in Appalachia.  My heart aches at the loss of life.

We have been promised a manicured pond and a few trees, but the wilderness will never be there again.

My friends and I are beginning to healing the area and ourselves one day at a time.

We are changing and we are growing.  All of our shows are under the umbrella of Speak Freely radio. About three years ago I started a radio program about the political events going on in our country. Then it morphed into a show about meditation and healing. So I have created categories to help separate the shows and make it easier for you to find your favorite segments. 

Here are the categories: 

  1. A Moment in the Woods
  2. For Kids
  3. The Saturday Healing Show
