Summer doesn´t go away, too warm for comfort, almost no rain, and it´s the end of October. Mother Nature has been acting mightily strange this year. *********************************** Interesting Obvservations. The weather is changing without a doubt and the effects should become evident all over the globe. Thank you for the input. 28 Oct 2004 @ 15:48 by bushman : Hmm Right now here in Sedona AZ USA, it's cold and rainy, some places getting snow, normaly, this time of year its still warm and sunny. We also had a double spring this year, where the apple trees bloomed again, and even the wisteria vine got a second set of blooms. The vegtable garden did some strange stuff as well, like the squash like plants, didnt grow as fast as normal, but the carrots and radishes grew really fast, and the tomatos, set fruit, but are not rippening at thier normal speed. ************************************** Fascinating obsevations about the plant life. It seems we are not the only ones noticing alterations in the climate. 28 Oct 2004 @ 17:17 by astrid : That is so weird, bushman.... what you are describing fits pretty good in to the pattern we've had here in the Mountains of Southern California. Though I am happy for these major rainstorms we had these last two weeks.(I'd rather have two rain storms than absolutely-OUT-OF- CONTROL- WILDFIRES like we had the last two years in a row, where Mt Baldy Village was surrounded -almost 360 degrees of encroaching fires! (with manditory evacuation and "whole nine yards"...) Prior to these fires of 2002 and 2003 up to this oct, the weather was just dry, dry, dry with heat waves in dec-jan-febr putting the season sensitive Plant Kingdom into total confusion ( What you, bushman, said about Blossom and ripening of veggies is what we had occurring too). Today we have snow on even the lower Peaks now, down to ahh, maybe 5000 feet.(The Village is at 4000.)We were really worried here for our Water table; getting below low...This season that might get corrected! The run-off creek next to our House went underground five years ago, but is now above ground again, which means the W.Table has been replenished sufficiently. (The Water here is absolutely DIVINE!.... We are very much aware of it and very grateful to Life for that. ) Once the fires died out last year, I decided I didn't want another year/Summer of same kind of hot dry/rainless/ madness that had been ruling our little world here. So I found that spot in in my Heart where Cosmic(ly Correct) Order -once again- was in charge of the Day, so to speak.I then I visualized the Perfect Summer, with all the Forces of Nature being in Balance. No I didn't know "how" see the IMAGE, I just made this STATEMENT and that was what I held on to ever since last Nov. The whole summer was pleasant in temperature, the fruit tress did much better this summer ( not so completely out of whack as the previous springs/summers). Many days I was quite nervous about it all; doubt and fear sneaking up on me. (Since even if july was coming along nice -as far as temperate temps went- I still ha no guarantee, so to speak, hos aug.sept and sespecially oct would be!....) But in those moments I stopped whatever I was doing, took a deep breath and found that Place Within me again where the Statement made perfect sense and with new vigor I hang on to my Vision of Restored Weather-patterns/Climate. This way to re-connect with Nature and leave it to Gaya to do Her Thing,so to speak, has really worked very well for me. The "Fire-Summers" I did similar fire-protection affirmation; that no home here would get destroyed by fire. NONE did!....while all the Officials were very very worried about exactly our little village ( ..if you saw the daily news reports, you know how much they talked ab. Mt Baldy!.... even in Germany, Holland, Spain, Sweden and Finland they talked ab. Mt Baldy!?!) You think about it; it is this kind - in intent- envisionings/ affirmations the Indigenious Peoples have "always" done! To what extent opening myself up to be the Mediating Channel for Gaya/ Mother Nature, was what in the end had the life saving effects in our Monutains and Village, I can never tell. But both the destructive fires were "taken care" of by Her ( the winds turned away from the Village every time the fire was reeally, reeally close!!) as well as replenishing the Water table! Now I look forward to have the PlantKingdom to get back on -its track again, giving all the fruitrees and veggies a fair chance to do their Thing, in harmony with and according to their Original Programming, so to speak! It's been very interesting lessons of the necessity of Oneness( re-uniting) with Earth, indeed! ***************************************** Yes, It seems that the the plants and animals probably will be able to adapt and evolve with less difficulty than us humans. The power of meditation and positive thinking can surely modify our environment/weather in unseen ways. Reconnect with nature and let Gaya do her thing - that is probably key to our survival as a species.
