Here is an announcement about it. <BR/><BR/>Dear Caring People,<BR/><BR/>We will be holding an interfaith ceremony this Sunday, July 13th at 2pm, at the Memorial Oak Grove. As you may know, a broad community has formed to save this grove from destruction and to convince the University of California not to proceed with a foolish plan for a gym at this site. We have been holding on with lawsuits, love and prayer, and protest, most notably a group of young tree sitters, in the hopes of awakening to the importance of consciousness toward the environment and community values.<BR/><BR/>We ask you to join us this Sunday in a circle to share prayer, inspirational words, and song to inspire our community in this difficult time of struggle. We also will offer prayer for the Oak Grove and the living Earth.<BR/><BR/>We will meet at 2pm for a circle on the lawn, just north of the grove. We encourage people of faith to share briefly with the circle. After we plan to have a short procession.<BR/><BR/>Traditionally we have been sending food and nourishment to the tree sitters at this time and some will attempt to do so following the ceremony and procession. You are invited to witness or participate as you feel. The tree sitters are requesting sacred texts, holy books as part of their nourishment if you would like to give that.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for being involved at this very crucial time,<BR/>Terri Compost<BR/><BR/>Please forward this or invite any others you feel would be like to participate and call if you have questions, 510 658-9178 or 510-938-2109.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237884433218530926.post-61811658187284430482008-07-06T15:24:00.000-07:002008-07-06T15:24:00.000-07:00Nobody cares. Don't you get it? the ones who made ...Nobody cares. Don't you get it? the ones who made their bones off Julia Butterfly Hill had something to gain from it. They don't stand to gain any money or power making a big deal out of your issue - you've been left in the dust. They do not care.<BR/><BR/>Your high ideals, if that's where you are coming from, mean nothing to the power brokers - and I ain't talkin' Republicans.<BR/><BR/>This is just sad, man.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023852057418281003noreply@blogger.com
