Julia Butterfly Hill 2
Julia Butterfly Hill came to Louisville tonight and Iwas so excited to see her again! Been looking forward to this for weeks. But interestingly, she wasn't there herself because she's up a walnut tree on South Central Farm in LA, doing her part to save this amazing place. So she spoke via cell phone to an audience of hundreds. I got to ask a question about fasting; her co-sitter had told us Julia's on Day 24 of a spiritual fast, sacrificing something precious to her in mindfulness of the farm and its purpose. She suggested solidarity fasts for anyone who felt so moved to help but could be actually in LA at this time and that's what I'd like to do. The last time I fasted was for three days and the purpose was willpower and internal cleansing. But this time it will have more of a purpose, and while I don't believe in "prayer" I do believe in directing energy to a certain goal. Y'all know what I mean.
So I've got a ton of literature to read and plans to share it with many people, like a lil' library cause this is lots of paper here. And yeah, it bothers me that the environmental movement ends up being so lacking in people of color at times...but this is merely another goal to work towards changing and another reason why it's great that people are finding out about South Central.
JBH has planned to come back to Louisville in September to make a physical appearance like what was originally planned. Who's excited? -- me! And this gives time to set up an SFA/CIW lit table there as well.
