Solar Angels has been down and out for a while. But as spring begins to blossom all around us, things are beginning to move here at the Solar Angels HQ as well. I think one issue per year is a more realistic expectation than a quarterly issue, since so much work and thought goes into making it. But we shall see. I feel that time is critical, and the challenges facing our world are many. We have to hurry...

Stay tuned for updates.

"Echoing silence
Darkness lit up by beams
Light
Seeking its counterpart
In melody
Stillness
Striving for liberation
In a word
Life..."
- Dag Hammarskjöld, 1950

We spent our Summer Solstice in the forest, paying our hommage to the the Great Spirit.

As we entered the new Century, someone asked the Dalai Lama what his feelings were concerning the year 2000. His answer got stuck in my brain: In space there is no year 2000.

As I walked along the winding forest path, hearing distant voices and music of the city, I looked at the birds and the trees. Their world is truly separate from our "civilized world". There is no Monday, no weekend, no vacation, no deadlines or anything. There is just life. I let my spirit go. I like worlds that have no boundaries. I like the things that have no names, no numbers. I could hear the call of the ancient world. It is still here, underneath our concrete, our industry and our human dramas. It will be here when we are all gone. Hail the ancient world, hail the Great spirit!

In pagan reverie,
Bard
