New Sunday Sun 2/1/09

This is a new month and a new time. The sun is out during the day, heating the sunroom so plants can grow. The nights are not so very cold that all the heat escapes the sunroom. This is the month to grow inside and outside, in the AIR insulated small greenhouse, which I gave up during the long cold nights of January.

This is a new month with a new name for the web page, from Nonviolent Worm to Nonviolent Cow. I should do one last ‘interview with a worm’ before changing the name of the actual site.

The time of the cow has come. Nothing can match the castings of the worm for output of enzyme rich organic fertilizer. A worm casts off its own weight each day. A cow does not do that, but casts off a large quantity of organic fertilizer each day. Also cow dung, because of its quantity, can used for bio-fuels, medicines, building materials as well as organic fertilizer. And when worms eat and cast off cow dung you have the best of both worlds — large quantities of enriched organic fertilizer with super growing power.

I need to explore the use of worms to feed and cast off directly on cow dung. I need to explore this with persons in India who are doing it and with farmers in Wisconsin.

Also today I added some two new articles to this web site, Nonviolent Cow/Worm. One is the reflections of my friend Dianne on the Pilgrimage of Peace. She helped to organize the pilgrimage and wrote a wonderful letter of reflections to family and friends.

The other article was “Making War” on the Featured Article Page. The article is long, but one worth reading to understand the theological, international legal and constitutional implications of “Making War.” The author is Dr. Robert M. Bowman, a Vietnam Veteran, Lt. Col., USAF, ret., National Commander, “The Patriots” and Primate, United Catholic Church. Dr. Bowman is a new ‘patriot’, one who deeply understands his faith, the law and his beloved country’s tradition.

The sun shining in the sunroom today is constantly new. May this new sun heat our lives and hearts so as we say as we did in Church today: “If today you would hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.” (Psalms 95)
