To Serve One’s Greatest Purpose in Life
Rising early one recent morning in May, I stepped out onto the front grassy lawn to catch a little air. Standing still, leaning on my cane facing the wooded lot across the road, I looked about and noticed five feet from my right a red breasted robin standing still on the grass staring in the same direction. We stood there for a minute or so, her glancing at me, me glancing at her, neither alarmed by sudden moves. It was a warm, blue sky day. The air was still, peaceful and quiet.
With a sudden move the robin started pecking at the grass. At first, her beak came up empty, but suddenly she picked up a long, squirming worm I hadn’t seen and dropped it.

The Golden Rule
Nepal Relief
From a close friend who has lived in Kathmandu for years. One problem with Nepalese relief is that there is substantial graft and one must be very careful about who one donates through. I just received this and want to pass it along.
Besides Pachak Rinpoche’s relief fund ( Chokgyur Lingpa Foundation), here is another one where the money will go to relief and not to admin. costs. Friend, Chris Kolisch, has written below about a good place to donate for disaster relief here in Nepal:
Hebrew School Registration
Time for forsythia and tulips and time to register children for Hebrew school 5776! At this time we are planning to follow our traditional structure, with an Aleph class for 6-7 year olds, Bet for 8-9 year olds, Gimmel for 9-10 year olds and Dalet for 11-12 year olds, and Hey for children who are 12 and older, have been in our Hebrew school for at least one year, and are planning to become bar- or bat-mitzvah next year.
Classes will meet from 3:45 to 5:45; the bānai mitzvah class will probably meet from 5:30 to 7:30. We hope to keep our excellent, experienced, dedicated teaching staff, but we need to know how many students we will have (and their ages and grade in public school) so we can plan staff and space to accommodate all who wish to attend. We particularly need to know about any new students who might wish to attend.
Looking for 2 People and a Truck in Brattleboro
Sometime in the next 2 weeks I am getting a couch from a house in Brattleboro. I need to have my old couch moved out of my apartment and disposed of- taken to the dump, I guess. Then I need the new couch moved to my house. Looking for recommendations for someone who does short distance moving for a reasonable price and could do it with just a couple of days notice.
I have tried Brattleboro Time Trade but no luck yet.
Two strong bodies needed -both couches are heavy.
Ask-a-Baha’i
In the spirit of āAsk-a-Copā and āAsk-a Realtorā, our local Bahaāi community has decided to launch its own series, called āAsk-a-Bahaāiā.
Although many have heard of the Bahaāi Faith, few know much about the Faith’s history and teachings.
Through āAsk-a-Bahaāiā, we want to create a space for people to ask questions from the privacy and convenience of their homes or mobile devices.

Camp Waubanong is undergoing significant changes, and as a result it will not be operating this summer. Camp Waubanong is currently working with the Vermont Wilderness School (VWS) to craft a newer and better administrative structure, ensuring that the camp will thrive for many years into the future. The plan is to transfer stewardship of the camp and its facilities to VWS by the end of 2016.
The Vermont Wilderness School (VWS), based in West Brattleboro, has been providing nature-based mentoring programs for children and adults for fifteen years.
VWS’s approach is a natural fit with Camp Waubanong’s mission, and they share a dedication to keeping the camp’s tuition affordable.
Hear Ye – May Day at the Statehouse
May Day at the Statehouse! For a number of years now there has been an ever-growing public event celebrating May Day on the Statehouse lawn. I went last year and was among 600 or so people having a very stimulating day. This year more than a thousand are expected. Everyone is invited and urged to join in. There is a big parade through the streets of Montpelier, speakers, a childrens tent, free lunch for all and a long line of organizations that are actively working and fighting for a just and sustainable future for Vermont. It’s the largest annual gathering of activists in the state. And its a lot of fun. Activities run from noon to 4 PM. Its a great place to meet people who are doing things.
Two Simple Questions
I understand that last night the DRB was to vote on opening the Harmony Lot tunnel to auto traffic again. Does anybody know the result of that vote?
What were the final results of the “Safe and Secure” poll you did Chris?
Thanks
Slow Medicine Discussion at the River Garden
Thursday, April 30 at 6:30 p.m.
Robert H. Gibson River Garden, 157 Main Street, Brattleboro VT
Michael Finkelstein, MD, also known as the “Slow Medicine Doctor,” will present his approach to healthy living at the Robert H. Gibson River Garden in downtown Brattleboro on Thursday, April 30 at 6:30 p.m.
The session, entitled “Slow Living is Healthy Living,” is sponsored by Strolling of the Heifers. Finkelstein will be joined by Orly Munzing, founder and executive director of Strolling of the Heifers, and Linda McInerney, founder and artistic director of Old Deerfield Productions.
Finkelstein teaches that most health challenges are the result of an imbalance in our bodies and lives, and that most quick-fix solutions actually exacerbate these imbalances.
