Welcome Earth Lodgers!

The image of the Earth as seen from space has had an important, if subtle impact on human consciousness. For the first time in our history we can see how small is our island, how tiny our technology and how empty outer space...

Naturally such insights lead to reflections about how we can continue to survive and thrive on our tiny floating island in the vasty-void of the universe...and this is where Earth Lodge comes in. Human connection, human creativity, human collaboration, human community... these are the new/old tools for survival and abundance.

This blog is OURS - for all of us to read and write. I've set up this blog so we can all keep in touch over the summer and share stories, images and audio of our travels, scholarship and service. I hope you will all post a little something here so we can keep in touch and inspire one another in our individual adventures. From time to time I'll bring you the Pony Pasture update and brief reports on some of the parks in Richmond.

So right now in the parks, the cottonwood trees are shedding their cotton and the wild irises are blooming...
