The purpose of this page is to create a visual link-up for those who
are working at a similar level of commitment to earth healing and Our
Mother's welfare.  Most of us are working very tangibly together, or
by a single degree of separation.  There have been several reports
of my new garden's landscape entering other peoples' dreamtime
landscape.   Others have admitted to instigating psychic journeys in
an effort to find this space with a greater sense of personal clarity.   

...may all beings achieve enlightment...
This is the Gaia Altar.  She sits in the rough center of a 75 by 8 foot
plot on the western side of a central Massachusetts hilltop.  The rest
of the hilltop contains extensive community food gardens, a labyrinth
in progress, and the upper Peach Orchard.   The lower orchards are
pear, peach,  and apple.  It's a 40 acre property.   There are an
additional number of acres that comprised much of my significant
wildcrafting for the
Hillside Series.

Adjacent properties include beautiful woodlands, abandoned fruit
fields, and a carefully tended sacred vineyard.   My normal walkabout
to visit the various places I've come to love, and leave offerings in
those spots that have provided very meaningful remedies, is a two
hour, 75 acre loop.  This includes plenty of water and silent
appreciation breaks.  Many prayers of gratitude as well as intention
for Our Mother's healing.

When I first approached this strip, the sign said Acey's Place.  I told my son
it made me feel like a bad mid-season replacement comedy, and promptly
took it down.  Brought it home and had a little sparkle-paint therapy - now I
feel much better to the face it's showing a larger world.

Note the gaia altar isn't fully complete.  The short east-west axis has not
been manifested.    Also note that way at the top of the row you see a
double line of 'bushes'.  Those are actually full grown apple trees just as a
size-distance check.  I have to walk half again that far to lump the hose.  
Hauling the water itself is often 'easier'.
Here we begin to see what happens when an aging woman fulfills a
young girl's dream.   I've been working pretty slowly even by Indian
Time standards but here's how Our Girl looks as of yesterday 6/17.

The long north-south axis is at last complete.  I see from this picture
there's a place where I have to straighten it out and that's good to
know!   Overview shots never do anything to suggest the beauty of
individual plants.   This is a 'living laboratory' and VERY HARD
WORKING garden which I'm planting for grid/light-grounding
purposes AND a variety of essences I seek for my
Next Generation
repertory.  I've either asked to prepare these essences or the flowers'
medicine spirits have called to me from my various cruises through
seed catalogs and my nearly incessant rounds of local herb farms
and greenhouses.

Next time I visit My Beauty without intensive planting in mind, I'll take
a camera and begin collecting some portraits.  
Here the gaia altar's location and sacred purpose is further
defined by a
grove of Brugmansias.  The grove currently
provides enough light for air-lifted container plants from the
original Sparkling Lotus beds to reside for a day or so while
flower essences are prepared from their blooms.  In time, it
will be sequestered and shady enough for me to rest during
chores, take a full-out lunchbreak, or say a few rounds of the
Tibetan rosary.  For now, this grove is what I'm learning &
thinking about most quietly and carefully
