Kindness and Care ~ Yule Traditions

Last updated on: December 19, 2014 at 11:37 am   By Jenya T. Beachy

How to celebrate Yule from the Heart: This time of year, we tend to look at our fellow humans with a changed perspective. I believe that somewhere deep within us we remember how it was to be uncertain of our survival through the winter. In the ancient village, when each person was necessary to the whole, it was important that all were cared for. Read more

Pregnant Goats ~ Life Goes On

Last updated on: December 12, 2014 at 12:21 pm   By Jenya T. Beachy

I just returned from a trip.  While I was gone, I received an email that Lilly the Goat is pregnant.  Hooray! Who’s Lilly, you say?  Wait, let me back up! About 2 weeks ago, I found on Craigslist that someone was selling a small herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats, 3 does, one with 8 week old twins (a doeling and a buckling), and 2 bucks.  That’s the exact breed I was wanting, if not the exact herd configuration, so I... Read more

Every Child ~ A Poem

Last updated on: November 26, 2014 at 3:49 pm   By Jenya T. Beachy

Words are hard. I am right now hopeful and happy to be gathering my Family together for meetings/food/games and also furiously angry at the unholy bullshit in the world. I was trying to write something intelligent and inspiring about both of these things, but then Matthew found this poem by his Baba and I realized that this pretty much sums it up. This was written sometime between 1964 and 1969. EVERY CHILD by Alexander T. Coyle If God once came to earthly men, A... Read more

Thanksgiving and Taking

Last updated on: November 21, 2014 at 7:07 pm   By Jenya T. Beachy

I am fond of the idea of the gift economy. Not the BUYGIFTS! economy, but the give-gifts economy. It's the offering of a thing or a service with no expectation. There's no real record-keeping and sometimes its hard to tell who is on what side of the transaction. @patheospagan @jenyatbeachy @dirtheartwitch Read more

Permaculture and Pumpkins

Last updated on: November 19, 2014 at 2:19 pm   By Jenya T. Beachy

And of course, the concepts of permaculture are applicable, not only to land-use, but to all sorts of systems. What is the natural flow in your community? In your family? Your body? Where is the power stored and how does it move? What are the nutrients and are there enough? Is the system sustainable at this level of output? Read more
