Dr. Satish Kumar became a living example of both spirituality and social work. He gave up his Jain monk life and went to live in a Gandhi Ashram in Bodh Gaya. Read more about Dr. Satish Kumar on the Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation website.

Comment on A neighbourhood grieves this week: two eagles lose their home and family by Constance

Thank you for sharing about the eagles. Larry and I saw a sign of emotional connection on the South Heart River near our log house in northern Alberta. It was spring and still thin ice by flowing water on the small river. Two Canada geese sat side by side on the river by the bank. One had died and was lying on the ice/water. The other waited beside its mate, bodies touching. We don’t know what happened .. did the survivor leave or did a predator kill it as well? All the best, Constance and Larry [www.firstnationswriter.com]

Hi Heather. That’s a good account. I had thought it was a Douglas fir but actually it was a balsam fir. Did you know that the eagles (same ones?) used to nest on the tree across the yard. We used to camp there and they made a dreadful stink when the wind was blowing a certain way. I hope they build there again.

Comment on Code of conduct for federal librarians: Are book-burning parties next? by Frank McElroy

When W tried this in the states it didn’t work. Librarians are a different breed and have shown their willingness to reject this kind of nonsense. “Banned in Boston” has been an occasional situation in that cradle of “liberty,” and thankfully each time it passed. Time for the NDP to start speaking as the list of infringements seems pretty substantial to this outsider.

Brrrrr….This is chilling indeed. Firstly, When I was a federal public employee I had to take an oath of allegiance. But that oath was to the Crown, NOT the current Government.

Secondly, Is the federal government asserting that federal public servants are some sort of special case where an employer is allowed to dictate and control an individuals personal actions on their own time? Or are they establishing some sort of precedence that other employers can do the same?

Thanks for your comment, Karen. Just to clarify: I have celebrated International Women’s Day many times. I said that it was my first time celebrating it at the hall in Roberts Creek.

Heather, your writing is very inspiring and equally admirable is your enthusiasm. You sat beside me saying that this was your ‘first’ time celebrating International Womens Day and within a few minutes, you were writing, interviewing and photographing. Following your passion!!! I want you to know how wonderful it is to witness that. AND to read the results: these blog-posts. Thank you deeply. In Sisterhood, Karen

Heather, Very inspiring, as usual. Thank you for sending me your blogs which help keep me in touch with events like this that I am not able to attend in person. We truly live in a remarkable community.

Thanks, Jack. There’s already an event planned for the coast. Wendy Crumpler has posted the info on Facebook. It’s part of the One Billion Rising event.

Cheers, Heather
