Transformative, indeed, but I found the journey through Cathar country leaving me increasingly melancholic. There is an incredible sadness there. I understood the history and effect of the region much better after reading a book about the Cathars called The Fire and the Light by Glen Craney. I had a similar experience in southern France.

I'm the biggest believer in getting out into nature to remember what it is we are trying to protect.

]]> Comment on * TIME IS ON OUR SIDE: A Holiday For Gardeners And The 13 Moon Calendar by TheAbysmal http://thehotpotato.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/time-is-on-our-side-a-holiday-for-gardeners-and-the-13-moon-calendar/#comment-3054 TheAbysmal Sat, 02 Aug 2008 17:48:56 +0000 http://thehotpotato.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/time-is-on-our-side-a-holiday-for-gardeners-and-the-13-moon-calendar/#comment-3054 Nice write up. I devised a 13-month calendar, based on Dr Arguelles writings, however, the Day Out of Time works much better at the Winter Solstice (equivalent to December 21st), particularly considering the Mayan End Date. This divides the year into 4 equal quarters of 13 weeks (that's 91 days), where each quarter ends/begins at one of the four cardinal points. This aligns our calendar with the seasons, at least for those of us in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The people in the Equatorial regions still have the good fortune to have 2 days a year where the Sun lies directly overhead. As much as I admire Dr Arguelles work, I don't think July 25th is the ideal date for the Day Out of Time, nor do I feel that his renaming of the weekdays works for a global community that already shares 7 weekdays based on the ancient planets. take a look and see for yourself http://theabysmal.wordpress.com/theabysmal-calendar/ happy gardening - my tomatillos are almost as tall as I am (not bad for a first try) Nice write up.
