I have brought a large group of powerful women together to begin changing our world, starting with our city.  We are in a great facility, with a lot of nice amenities, and are starting to work.  Each is presenting from her own expertise, and we are building a real knowledge base of what is happening and what must be done.  Suddenly I notice that a lot of our men friends are wandering in, casually, to join the talk.  I don’t know how they even heard about the event.  We were careful to keep it among ourselves.

(Perhaps a follow-up to a blog I wrote a couple of months ago – saying that women should stand up and say STOP! to men’s wars.)

A dream where I am working to get Pace / Renovate America programs working to update / climate change proof our condo.  During that process, I’m at a big outdoor neighborhood festival, spread across hillsides, where I meet  couple who think they know what’s going on, but are not making things better.  We’re inside their home office, and her black cat is riding upside down on her right shoulder.  I have ended up with their bag of (junk) at teh neighborhood exchange. And / but have gotten a lot of good info on how to get the State of Ohio to make the changes I need.

Sunday, August 1, 2021, 7:22 a m.  In the old Celtic calendar, this is Teltane, Lughnassa, the first day of Autumn.

Right outside my window, people have been building a wonderful project for quite a while.  It’s going to be part of a larger community development, and will be moved when it is completed.  It looks like a Swiss chalet, colorful and with beautiful wood.  Now it is finished and needs to be moved to its permanent spot.  It has snowed, the team of 20-somethings is going ahead cheerfully and with gusto.  About a hundred folks just pick it up and walk it toward its new home.  I walk over later, crunching through the melting snow.  A beautiful day!

June 18, Friday, 6ish a m, Brian’s campaign, cicadas going, covid going, too (which hasn’t happened)

I am working on a project – and realize I have had several projects like this lately – I have books of instructions in 2 different languages and have to make them mesh.  So I go chapter by chapter, re-writing – so the folks using one language can understand the thinking and values of the other.  Doing Chapter 1 of the first culture, then Chapter 1 of the second culture.  Each of the cultures is both good and quirky, by their own estimations.  I know both well.  There are stinkers – bad folks – in each.  Both think they are the best, but want to make the world work, so they want to figure this out.
