Romans 1:29-32, 6:23, 8:6-9, 13 // Ephesians 2:4-5 “The Lord Christ comes to convinced sinners with His invitation: “Poor creatures! How sad is your condition! What has become of the beauty and glory of the image of God in which you were created? You are now in the deformed image of Satan and even worse, eternal misery lies before you. Yet look up once more; behold Me! I will put Myself in your place. I will bear that burden of guilt and punishment which would sink you to hell for ever. I will be made temporarily a curse for you, that you may have eternal blessedness.” — John Owen The gospel radically CHANGES ALL who receive it into people who FREELY OVERFLOW with GENEROSITY to others, especially FELLOW MEMBERS of God's redeemed FAMILY. 2 Corinthians 8:9, 9:6-8 SOMETIMES, God allows His coming WRATH on UNREPENTANT SINNERS to be poured out SOONER than expected as a fearful REMINDER to others that FAITH really is a matter of LIFE and DEATH. Ref. Leviticus 10:1-7 // Joshua 7:1 // 2 Samuel 6:6-7 The shocking divine execution of Ananias and Saphira is a reminder to us: - To SPEAK the TRUTH with one another. (Eph. 4:24-25) - That salvation is by GRACE through FAITH, NOT by WORKS. (Eph. 2:8-10) - To CONFESS and REPENT of KNOWN SIN.

Over hoe apicentrisch of natuurlijk imkeren in zijn werk gaat en waarom we maar beter zuinig zijn met honing.Over waarom het interessanter is om een biodiverse wilde tuin te hebben ipv een mooi groen gazon met een insectenhotel. Over verrassingen en fails bij het wildplukken en vaste wildpluk gewoontes. En nog veel meer...De documentaire "Warre en de drie wilgen", die werd op genomen in de mooie wilde tuin van Sien, kan je nog bekijken op VRT MAX of in de Ketnet app (Ket & Doc seizoen 4, aflevering 4)  Sien organiseert als helft van het duo De Wilde Kruidenjuffen workshops voor scholen om kinderen (en leerkrachten) terug dichter bij de natuur te brengen en anders te leren kijken naar wat groeit in de omgeving.

Many of us realize there are just as many positive opportunities these days as there are so-called "bad" things happening. It's all how we perceive life, how things affect us. In this episode ZLORD cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how it's always a choice, how we perceive any aspect of life. Specific examples of choosing to be positive are given for challenging situations. All around us, everyday, every moment, we get challenged by others. It's totally up to us whether we let someone else's annoying ways (or dangerous, or depressing, neurotic, "not nice" behavior) affect our birth-right privilege of feeling content, even blissful, with the way things are. Sure, we want to help others, but helping ourself be content is our main responsibility. One thing is for sure: Everything changes! Here the cohosts discuss how to find inspiration in even the worst situations. Example: how we can help climate change by planting trees instead of being fearful of civilization's future. Here's some helpful links to pursue that proactive way of finding goodness in untenable fear, with tree planting.

How do you talk to yourself? Good, bad, ugly? What do you do when you make a mistake? Do you beat yourself up verbally? Or, do you say, “That's okay, I'll get em' next time”? Today is for you if you have ever verbally beat yourself up over a mistake, if you regularly talk down to yourself or if you can give others a break, but don't give yourself that same grace. What comes out of my mouth is a by-product of what I think about myself–my identity. Our identity is key to fulfilling our God-given purpose. But, our negative self-talk will not just keep us from accomplishing what God's called us to do and be. It means that others aren't fed by what we bring to the table. God didn't create different personalities to give us an excuse not to step out of our comfort zone but to help others relate to us and be encouraged that they can do it too! How do we stop the negative self-talk? 1. Practice Self-Compassion No one–I repeat–NO ONE is perfect except Jesus. But, the good news is, we don't have to be perfect. We couldn't do it on our own. That's why God sent Jesus. We are not the sum of our mistakes. So, let's give ourselves some slack! 2. Stop Talking Think, “Would I say what I'm about to say to myself to my best friend?” If you wouldn't, don't say it to yourself. Sometimes, the way we talk about or to ourselves is a habit. It's time to break it! 3. Replace Negative Self-Talk With A “To Speak” List Replace our negative talk with pre-determined positive talk about ourselves–a “To Speak” list. Here are some samples to get you started: I always make this mistake… I am not the sum of my mistakes. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:21) I'll never get this right… I may not always get it right, but I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13). “We can't always make the right decision, but we can make every decision right.” - Andy Andrews This always happens to me… This may have happened to me in the past, but it doesn't have to ruin my life. I choose to focus on what's going well in my life. (Hebrews 12:2) The words we use today are literally creating the world we'll experience tomorrow! Depending on our focus, that could be a serious problem or a fantastic opportunity! You are treasured and loved by our Heavenly Father! You are gifted and created for such a time as this! Talk to yourself like you are and create a beautiful opportunity for tomorrow! To learn more about your identity, check out Mirror moments - a 99-day devotional to inspire and heal a woman's heart.

Risk of losing our forests and how optimistic should we be about climate change   If Jane Goodall is the ambassador for the animal kingdom, and Vandana Shiva is the ambassador for seeds, then Diana Beresford-Kroeger is unquestionably the global ambassador speaking on behalf of the world's trees and forests. I know of no other person who possesses the wisdom of the forest as Diana -- an Irish-Canadian researcher, botanical scientist, medical biochemist and Celtic nature mystic. She has written extensively on the molecular biology of trees, their medicinal properties, trees' social interactions in the forest and with other life forms, forest conservation, and the traditional wisdom trees hold for healing. In the past Diana has held science posts at the Canadian Department of Agriculture and the University of Ottawa School of Medicine.  She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was named a World Visionary by Utne Reader. Her research gardens outside Ottawa, open to the public, include rare plants from Turkey, Iran, China, and a hundred rare types of species from the northern forests and other countries, many that are endangered.  Diana has written several spell binding books including “To Speak to the Trees: My Life's Journey from Ancient Celtic Wisdom to a Healing Vision of the Forest” and there is an awarding winning documentary “The Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees” that highlights Diana's work across many nations exploring the secrets of northern forests.  More about her work can be found at CallOfTheForest.ca

A bold statement, to be sure. Not misspoken, but still curiously watched. It caught your attention, b/c “they”… are not to be questioned. They're “off limits,” should one care to ask the church for permission TO SPEAK. One does not care, how many of you do? How many of you have begun (c'mon, just a little bit, right?) to question the relevance of the anointed leadership of your church. You've perhaps begun to say, “I can read, & even I can see why God might be pissed enough…” Hmm? You were saying? I am she, who will say what you think, and yet you, listener, feel stronger and more determined to get truth from those leaders, each time you *don't* listen to my voice. When your truth, anointed, finds harmony with the truth of our God, then you too must reevaluate your relevance. Understand me, leadership: anointed means He speaks to you; anointed does NOT mean you SPEAK FOR Him. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/christiantruth/message

Diana Beresford-Kroeger learned “a duty of care” for the natural world from her Celtic aunties and uncles, as she writes in To Speak for the Trees. Today we listen to three more Indigenous voices on how their communities build care for land and people into the fabric of life. These three are Dr. Mary Graham on how Aboriginal relationships begin in the land; Claire Hiwahiwa Steele on caring for land and people in traditional Hawaiian society; and Oren Lyons on the Great Law of Peace of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, of North America. Among each people, caring for land and people is how to be a human being—how to live peaceably with others and how to survive in a sometimes challenging natural world. We also look, for contrast, at how caring for land and people, while handed down in Celtic tradition, got lost in European history and did not form the foundation of law in the young United States. So how to bring love and care back into public life? Lots of questions and lots of ideas on where to go from here!

Please visit my website Treesmendus.com for a more complete summary of our wonderful one hour conversation. My first question: Would you please tell us your story and why you wrote To Speak For The Trees? "I was orphaned as a child in Ireland. When orphaned, nobody going to speak for you. Normally orphans are sent to orphanages". Diana Beresford-Kroeger was the last in the ancient lineage of Irish and British aristocracy on both sides. The judge in charge of her case, when she was just 8 years old, said "I have no idea what to do with you, and I am afraid I will lose my job if I put a Beresford in an orphanage."Diana was put into the care of her Uncle Pat, a famous athlete in his time, a bibliophile (the house was teaming with books) and eccentric bachelor. As Diana says "he did not harm me, but just did not know how to care for a child. Looking back wonder how did survive such a thing?"Beresford-Kroeger said she got lucky. The ancient plan of the Celtic system was respected. In the summers she was sent into the Valley of Lisheens as the last child of that family to learn the ancient medicines and laws of the trees.

Foundry's Summer Guest Series starts with a guest sermon from Reverend Kimberly Scott For Such A Time As This-I. It is indeed and privilege and honour that I stand before you today…For Such a time as time…A few months ago, I could imagined I’d preaching for you today Foundry…The Day following my Ordination as an Elder in Full Connection of the Desert Southwest Conference….Had some one told 10 years ago that would be standing in a virtual pulpit/ anyone virtual pulpit today I wouldn’t have believed…Preaching, teaching and being a leader CHURCH in the was never on my bucket list church….But God, has been up to something for such a time as this….A time in which so much of our lives have been put on hold due to COVID 19 PANDEMIC ….A time in which LGBTQIA folks in the UMC are faced with the reality that their promise land has seemingly disappeared over the horizon, and in now out of site…AT a time such as this that our history, our past has seeming become our new or a renewed reality……. I know this your PRIDE SUNDAY, but it would be socially irresponsible to NOT You see I understand that there are some of you, who you assumed you’d lived through worst season of racial tension, discrimination, injustice and inequality in this country…I recognize that some of lived through the Jim Crow era, the Civil Rights, Woman’s Lib and Gay and Lesbian Right Movement…AND there is at least one, generation of persons gathered here today who truly grew up believing they lived in a color blind society…Some of us thought systemic racism and homophobia was dead in this country with the election of Barack Obama, AND then there’s unfortunate reality that some gathered here today have seen the CHURCH at war with itself all your life due issues of colonialism, racism, sexism and homophobia….In other words, some of us have been waiting for TRANSFORMATION to come in in our streets, in the church and our world for way too long… We are sick and tired of being sick of creating new hash tags… So what is our call as faithful followers of a Jesus Christ who died so that all might be set FREE?What is our call as those who claim to serve a Jesus who died to set the oppressed free and so that through his Body humanity might live into the reality of the REALIZED Kin-dom of God?....I don’t have all of the answers but today text situates us in life of Esther to aid us finding our way forward…For Such A Time as thisII. The text: For Such a time as thisAlthough most of us have heard or are familiar with the famous quote for such a time as this, from the book of Esther.. Due to the fact that Esther rarely makes the lectionary many don’t know the full or context that makes that statement so profound. So let us start with who Esther is… She is a young Jewish woman, orphaned due the death of her parents. Fortunately, she is adopted by her cousin Mordecai. Mordecai serves as a courier within the Kings royal court…At this time in Bible History the Jews, God’s chosen people, are in exile. Jerusalem was conquered, its people taken in chains into Babylonian captivity. So the Jews of the diaspora have, settled and made their homes in Susa, and they are living as a recognized religious minority in the heart of the powerful Persian empire….Thus living on the margins… Thus, as an orphan and a Jewish female, Esther is a nobody among nobodies in this minority community. With her true identity kept secret, Esther first appears in the story as one of the young virgins brought into the king's harem, by her cousin Mordecai to be a possible replacements for Vashti, the banished wife of the Persian King.After a year living in the harem being trained, Esther pleases the king and is eventually crowned queen. Remember All this takes place while Esther keeps her Jewish identity thus her relation to Mordecia secret (Esth 2:10, 20). Meanwhile Mordecai he has won favor by serving the king faithfully and even preventing an assassination attempt. Somehow Mordecai’s Jewish heritage becomes known to an enemy by the of Haman. Haman is also a favored member of the King’s royal court. Yet, he is jealous of Mordecai and his standing with the king. Mordecai get into a power struggle with a Haman Mordecai refuses to bow before Haman, and this so infuriates Haman. Haman decides not only to put Mordecai to death, but also to slaughter his entire people. And he secures the king's permission to do this. Our text today in Esther 4 picks up right after Mordecai has learned of Haman's plot and he is distraught. In this distraught state, weeping, and dressed in sackcloth and ashes he shows up at the palace gate wanting to inform Esther of what’s taken place. After going back and forth with a messenger, Eventually Mordecai reveals Haman’s plot to exterminate all the, Jews…And pleads for Esther to beg for the Kings mercy to spare her people’s lives As was read in our text…When Esther first learns of Haman's plot and the threat to her people, her reaction is one of reluctance, helplessness and hopelessness. She tells Mordecai she could not approach the king without being summoned, and she could possibly face death, and besides the king has not summoned for me in thirty days, implying that she has fallen out of favor. Yet, Mordecai's is persistent and send on one last plea: “Esther, ‘Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?’” Esther 4:13-14 (NASB) III. What is this story about…Well right away we learn that the leaders of the Persian empire/ Haman, had an agenda… A racist agenda to exterminate all the Jews. We might now a little bit in this country about racist agenda to exterminate a group of people… We know a little bit AS Methodist about homophobic agenda to exterminate queer people from the church…. So we should be able to place ourselves inside this story… FOUNDRY….I need you to place yourself inside this story….FOUNDRY….I need you to place yourself inside this story…. Foundry…ESTHER…Esther you are facing the genocide of yourself your people…You are being given a difficult task….. 1. To choose action or to choose to be SILENT when your people needed her the most.2.Esther you’ve got to choose rather to confront your husband/spouse, the King, the power be, risking death simply by entering a room without being asked or to do nothing and continue to live a plus life as the Queen Esther. 3. Esther you can choose to plead with your husband/spouse the king, to stop this ethnic cleansing or to do nothing. 4. Esther you can save yourself and your people or you can do nothing. So secondly this is narrative about choice and free will?God always give use Choices right……Since the beginning…. Now..When we reflect on Esther’s life, who she was, where she had come from and then read 13-15 it can easily come across as Mordecai scolded her focus self-preservation In others words we might take it as MORDECAI calling her out for being selfish..…But listen….Let’s read the text again… Do not think that because you are in the King’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. 14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. More than any other thing the word that sticks out to me…Is the phrase…For if you remain SILENT time this….For if you remain silent this time HERE Mordecai catches ESTHER’s attention by clueing her in to the bigger picture…the broader context of who she is.. He essentially say her, although it feels LIKE you have arrived- You have not made it to your promise land because your in the King’s palace living a lavish life DON”T forget …You are still a JEW..….Mordecia is saying…Esther your LIFE is not simply about YOU…But about us……You did not make it to this PALACE: for yourself or by yourself or because of yourself..So, don’t to comfortable yet…WE-a collective WE are not arrived at your promise land..If you remain silent at this time and focus on yourself…Eventually relief will come to our people by you and your family will die…. In speaking these words to Esther…Mordecai draws her away from the needs of self and self-preservation to a sense of connectivism and into to the UNBUTU spirit.. I am BECAUSE you are…You are BECAUSE I amHe reminds her she had been CHOSEN for this TIME to set ASIDE her own interests, goals and desire to let go of her own ambitions, and face their common foe full-on.And how does Esther reply…him.​ With that message Esther is inspired….No she is compelled to take control…To act quickly in this crisis to save her people in the midst of the threat of death… She is obediently, faithful.. she is a team player….Eshter goes on to be the savior of her people….She was indeed call for Such a time as this…. She was called to risk her life and her legacy with no guarantees of a positive outcome. Just on faith and Goodwill… That’s the “for such a time as this” Mordecai challenged Esther to accept.And that’s the “for such a time as this” God also sets before you and me… So what do we learn from Esther?So what is Esther teaching here?First, this is call to not be SILENT when a CRISIS arise amongst our people..When we see harm being done..When injustice in present…In our world…In our churches… Over the last week, we’ve all heard the stories about people all over the world reacting with protest, riots and marches due to the George Floyd case….AND to BE quite I honest I really wrestled with my own response the first few days because quite frankly I was scared… I was scared about being hurt, arrested, being in the wrong place at the wrong time….Pause…And then across the screen flashed on a protestors sign….Silence = Violence…. Silence = Compliance… …Riots are the voice of the unheard….. And then the kicker…In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of FRIEND…I instantly felt convicted like I should be doing something…I took it as my call to stop sitting on the sidelines and to become a part of the solution….So wrapped up in Esther’s is a call, is Esther teaching us to use our voice to…To give encourage us …To give us courage AND The power to speak FREEDOM for the captive…For the oppressed…-Freedom is the call to a protect LIFE of via the ACT of love, TO SPEAK words of FREEDOM is to BRING ALL TO A PLACE OF wholeness and abundance… ---The call to speak of freedom and speak freedom into EXISTENCE for others , challenges evil, destructiveness, oppression, violence, decay, and defeats death….. AND this INDEED Good news! So-How do we speak of freedom in a world suffering? - We must be A voices for the voiceless…To speak NEW truth to power..Because next in our text, There ESTHER’s story models for us how to live OUT OUR CALL AND to put the community and God’s Kin-Dom building work ahead of our self-seeking ambition..Imagine that…God has given each of us a job/careers, resources, education and influence…. God has opened doors and given each of us opportunities for God’s Kin-Dom purposes. God didn’t create us to just sit back and live a lavish life not focused on the world around us. The more resources and privilege we have the more WE have that belongS to God… As Luke 12:48 teaches to whom much is given much is required…BECAUSE God placed us where we ARE today to literally be apart of building UP a NEW WORLD… PAUSEI had the privilege of attending the Iliff School of Theology at time when the late Dr. Vincent Harding was there…Dr. Harding assisted in the writing of many of Martin Luther King Jr. speeches….IN his experience walking beside and working with KING he was inspired to write a song sung to the tune of we are climbing Jacobs ladder, titled…We Are Building Up A New World….That is the song I lead in with today before the prayer…VINCENT HARDING charged us at Iliff to take seriously our responsibility at Building Up A New World…To take seriously our Kind-Dom building responsibility…THUS…Today we are in the midst of KinDom battle…The enemy would love to have it’s way by distracting us and having us be continue to be inwardly focused on the all things that matter to us…But God didn’t build us that way…GOD BUILT us to BE IN COMMUNITY….Esther could have easily continued to live the lavish LIFE in the King’s palace and let whatever happen to her people just happen…But she would have most certainly have missed her Kin-Dom Calling and an entire nation would have been lost…Instead an entire nation was grateful for how Esther responded to Mordecai’s REQUEST. Their lives were spared. How many lives matter to you? Who’s lives truly manner to you… How have you shown it…. I answered my call to ministry at a time I was mad at God the church for all the harm I had a experienced and openly queer lay person who faithfully served the church….But God said kin stop whining and crying about how horrible the church has been to you and God and be a part of changes the church, because are not the only one who has been harmed or being harmed by the church…..And that’s how convinced me of my first for such a time as this moment…. To leave behind, my church, my family and my career…You see as school counselor for 10 in las Vegas, NV I had witness LGBTQIA youth being harmed by due to the LDS, BAPTIST, CHURCH OF GOD upbringing to name a few.I saw countless numbers of students in and out of treatment center, some end up runaways and others victims of suicide….I know It is no mistake that the first Sermon God laid on my heart, An Untimely Commissioning to Speak, Just Might Save the Life of Nation or A People…With that sermon based on Moses calls story ..God was calling me new life of work….To save I believe a generation of LGBTQIA young people of Faith…….FOUNDRY it’s not just by chance that less than a year AGO today I met your PASTOR and we would do some really HARD, UGLY, GRIMEY work together in our fight LGBTIA liberation in the UMC…..It is not just by chance that the day after my ordination God has placed me an An openly QUEER/MARRIED, African American in before and placed it in my spirit to preach to proclaim For Such A Time as this because to the TIME IS Now….The time is NOW…My life, my ministry has been filled with taking risk… Foundry you are being called to LIVE as IF your loved ones lives are AT RISK..You are being CALLED to live as if you loved lives are at risk… As if those nearest and dearest to you are the ones facing extermination …Extermination from the church because they are LGBTQIA…. As if those who are nearest and dearest to you are the one being fed the crumbs from the table of a crumbling church… You are being CALLED to live as if you loved lives are at risk… As if those nearest and dearest to you are facing or EXECUTION in the street because of the color of their skin.. So many black and brown lives could spared in the world today if today if we’d ALL choose to step up to service, to speak out against racism and police brutality And to fight for legislative and policy changes even if it involves sacrifice, of our money time, gift and talents…So many QUEER and TRANSPERSONS lives and MINISTRY could be speared more of us would choose to step up the mic and SPEAK out, Us their resources and political influence to find a way FORWARD to CREATE the church that JESUS died to build…Finally…. Esther is teaching us here that our call to act is on God’s watch…God’s time not ours…Esther got the call for Mordecai and responded urgently.. Was the call timely? NO…In fact, it didn’t make human sense to Esther I’m sure.She was sure she had finally arrived.. She was sure she had finally become SOMEBODY..Of high stature esteem and respect………Yet Esther was obedient to the call… She used her privilege ..She sacrifice herself for the sake of others…For the sake of her people…How many times have received a call to be apart of something that would have caused you to make a sacrifice and you said…Oh no, not this at moment, this is terrible timing?….Or perhaps this is not my time… OR I’ve done all that I can do…I’ll leave it to the next generation to figure out……We are just prolonging our collective suffering….We are prolonging the the Kin-Dom reality the God so desperately wants us to experience…We are prolonging bringing an end to SUFFERING, INJUSTICE and OPPRESSION..… We have been called to be the ones to free the oppressed recover sight to the blind..… AND to bring about love, peace, and justice today for the transformation of the WORLD today in the hear now… Who are WE waiting ON to do our work for us?

If Jane Goodall is the ambassador for the animal kingdom, and Vandana Shiva is the ambassador for seeds, then Diana Beresford-Kroeger is unquestionably the global ambassador speaking on behalf of the world’s trees and forests. Perhaps no one possesses the wisdom of the forest as Diana -- an Irish-Canadian researcher, botanical scientist, medical biochemist and Celtic nature mystic. She has written extensively on the molecular biology of trees, their medicinal properties, trees’ social interactions in the forest and with other life forms, forest conservation, and the traditional wisdom trees hold for healing. In the past Diana has held science posts at the Canadian Department of Agriculture and the University of Ottawa School of Medicine.  She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was named a World Visionary by Utne Reader. Her research gardens outside Ottawa, open to the public, include rare plants from Turkey, Iran, China, and a hundred rare types of species from the northern forests and other countries, many that are endangered.  Her most recent  spell binding book is “To Speak to the Trees: My Life's Journey from Ancient Celtic Wisdom to a Healing Vision of the Forest” and the documentary “The Call of the Forest: The Forgotten Wisdom of Trees” highlights Diana’s work across many nations exploring the secrets of northern forests.  More about her work can be found at CallOfTheForest.ca

“Climate change is happening. What can we do about it? It will start with a shovel and an acorn, but we might just change the world.” Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a world-recognized botanist, medical biochemist and author (and now filmmaker). She is known for her extraordinary ability to bring an understanding and appreciation of the scientific complexities of nature to the general public. "Diana Beresford-Kroeger is one of the rare individuals who can accomplish this outwardly simple but inwardly complex and difficult translation from the non-human to human realms," the renowned E.O. Wilson wrote in the forward to one of her books. “If you speak for the trees, you speak for all of nature,” says Beresford-Kroeger, one of the world's leading experts on trees who is known to have the mind of a scientist and the heart of an artist. She has studied the environmental, medicinal, nutritional, and even spiritual aspects of trees, has written about them in leading books, and on her property she maintains gardens that burst with flora and are open often to the public. Her work uniquely combines western scientific knowledge and the traditional concepts of the ancient world.  From a very young age, she understood that she was the last voice to bring Celtic knowledge to the New World. Orphaned at age 11 in Ireland, she lived with a succession of Gaelic-speaking elders, most of them scholars and freehold farmers in the Lisheens valley in County Cork, who took her under their wing. Over the course of three summers, she was taught the ways of the Celtic triad of mind, body and soul. This included the philosophy of healing, the laws of the trees, Brehon wisdom and the Ogham alphabet, all of it rooted in a vision of nature that saw trees and forests as fundamental to human survival and spirituality. Already a precociously gifted scholar, Diana found that her grounding in the ancient ways led her to fresh scientific concepts. Out of that huge and holistic vision have come the observations that put her at the forefront of her field: the discovery of mother trees at the heart of a forest; the fact that trees are a living library, have a chemical language and communicate in a quantum world; the major idea that trees heal living creatures through the aerosols they release and that they carry a great wealth of natural antibiotics and other healing substances; and, perhaps most significantly, that planting trees can actively regulate the atmosphere and the oceans, and even stabilize our climate. Told she was the last child of ancient Ireland and to one day bring this knowledge to a troubled future, Beresford-Kroeger has done exactly that.  She has published over 200 articles in magazines, journals and newspapers internationally. She is the author of several books including The Sweetness of a Simple Life (2015), The Global Forest: Forty Ways Trees Can Save Us (2010), Arboretum Borealis: A Lifeline of the Planet (2010), and A Garden for Life: The Natural Approach to Designing, Planting, and Maintaining a North Temperate Garden (2004). She has served as a scientific advisor to organizations including the Irish Woodland League, Ecology Ottawa, Hidden Harvest of Ottawa, Canadian Organic Growers, Archangel Ancient Tree Archive and the Acadian Forest Research Centre and others. She has lectured widely across North America and Europe. In her latest book, To Speak for the Trees: My Life's Journey from Ancient Celtic Wisdom to a Healing Vision of the Forest, Beresford-Kroeger asserts that “if we can understand the intricate ways in which the health and welfare of every living creature is connected to the global forest, and strengthen those connections, we will still have time to mend the self-destructive ways that are leading to drastic fires, droughts and floods.” Now she aims to spread her knowledge through feature-length films being made of her work.  In her documentary, Call of the Forest: To Speak with the Trees, Beresford-Kroeger takes viewers on a journey to the most beautiful forests of the northern hemisphere. From the sacred sugi and cedar forests of Japan, the ancient Raheen Wood of Ireland, the walnut and redwood trees of America, to the great boreal forest of Canada, Beresford-Kroeger tells us the amazing stories behind the history and legacy of these ancient forests while also explaining the science of trees and the irreplaceable roles they play in protecting and feeding the planet. Annie Proulx, Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award­-winning author, says “Call of the Forest is a film of rare significance. It draws the viewer into the green world that sustains life on this planet at a crucial ecological point, and is an introduction to the work of Diana Beresford-Kroeger, one of the least known but most important people on the planet.” Beresford-Kroeger is also at the heart of an upcoming three-part series airing on PBS called The Truth about Trees. Currently she is advocating on behalf of an ambitious global "bioplan" encouraging ordinary people to develop a new relationship with nature and join together to restore the global forest. Beresford-Kroeger understood the importance of trees as a botany student in Ireland and grew her own research garden and arboretum after emigrating from Ireland to Canada. This experience helped her realize that the scientific community lacks the ability to present science to the public; it was to address the urgent needs of nature in its destruction that she began her career in writing, lecturing and broadcasting.  She worked as a research scientist at the University of Ottawa and the Canadian Department of Agriculture Electron Microscopy Centre. She was appointed a WINGS WorldQuest fellow and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, where she was named one of 25 women explorers of Canada. “What is especially impressive is her unique blend of scientific rigour and poetic eloquence. Indeed, she combines both in a very rare gift: an extraordinary ability to understand the scientific complexities of nature, but also to bring this knowledge and appreciation to the general public,” said Matthias Neufang, dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs at Carleton College, where she received an honorary degree for her work. Beresford-Kroeger is an O’Donoghue, a very ancient family in Ireland who were the Kings of Munster, a southern county in Ireland. She is the last child of this family. This family was the teachers of the kings of Ireland, even before the birth of Christ. Her immediate family wiped out when she was eleven years old, and as an orphan, she was raised in Southern Ireland by a bachelor uncle who was a noted athlete, chemist, scholar and bibliophile. He nurtured her quest for knowledge and encouraged her to read and discuss everything from Irish poetry, world religions and philosophy to physics and quantum mechanics. She attended private schools in Ireland and England, and completed her earned her bachelor’s of science honors in botany and medicinal biochemistry at University College Cork (UCC), graduating first in her year in 1963. She then completed a master of science degree at UCC in 1965. Diana Beresford-Kroeger's startling insights into the hidden life of trees have already sparked a quiet revolution in how we understand our relationship to forests. She shows us how forests can not only heal us but save the planet. She tells us why trees matter, and why trees are a viable, achievable solution to climate change. Diana eloquently points to us that if we can understand the intricate ways in which the health and welfare of every living creature is connected to the global forest, and strengthen those connections, we will still have time to mend the self-destructive ways that are leading to drastic fires, droughts and floods. Join us in conversation with this ground-breaking and healing scientist and poet!

Here’s episode 8 of Turning Towards Life, a weekly live 30 minute conversation hosted by Thirdspace in which Justin Wise and Lizzie Winn dive deep into big questions of human living. You can find all our sources and more information at turningtowards.life (http://turningtowards.life/) This week the source for our conversation was Francis Weller’s book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow”. We begin with two poems – Denise Levertov’s “To Speak of Sorrow” and Robert Bly’s “What is Sorrow For?”. We talk about the connection between feeling our sorrow, shared rituals and spaces for grieving, and aliveness. Along the way we touch on how restraining sorrow keeps the myth that we are separate going, and how our collective numbing to the losses of our own lives and the world is a way we keep perpetuating the more destructive aspects of our current culture. We end with the hopeful thought that finding ways to grieve together is a way to help us turn more fully and courageously towards life and all that is called for from us.

Trashochists Present is an ongoing supplement to The Trashochists' Guide to Modern Shiterature. Each episode will be a simple read-through of a given Trashketeer's choice of poem or other piece of text. In this very first episode, Vik Vimes reads his favourite poem of all time, "To Speak of the Woe that is in Marriage", by Robert Lowell. Additional notes and trivia: -The structure of the poem is that of a sonnet; it rhymes in a smooth, casual AABBCC... format, and includes a feature called a 'turn', wherein the last two lines of the sonnet flip and reframe the rest of the poem thematically. -Vimes likes to picture the narrator of this poem as a burnt-out housewife, sick of her selfish husband and yet not quite able to leave him. Their relationship seems to be toxic, and she is desperate for physical contact and affection even from him. He can picture her wearing curlers and a ratty bathrobe, smoking a cheap cigarette on her front porch while she speaks with a friend. -"To speak of the woe that is in marriage" is a line lifted directly from The Wife of Bath's Tale, by Geoffrey Chaucer. This, too, is a text narrated by a sharp yet weary woman, and a very fitting title for this sonnet.

In this episode of Watch.Read.Listen., David and Duane discuss Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's excellent comic The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as well as Stephen Norrington's less-than-extraordinary 2003 adaptation starring Sean Connery. How can such a great story have such a mediocre adaptation (and why is that so often the case)? But first: This week, Duane watched a lot of Braille Skateboarding's YouTube channel, especially their "You Make It, We Skate It" and "Skate Everything" series, as well as Starbucks Doubleshot's mini-doc on them. He listened to To Speak of Wolves newly-released EP New Bones, and Mythgard Academy's final session on Tolkien's The Lost Road. David listened to the Hail Ming Power Hour Podcast, and watched Sergio Martino's Torso (1973), Taika Waititi's Boy (2010), and classic horror movies Phantasm (1979) and Phantasm II (1988).
