COMMUNITY EXCHANGE HOSTS EARTH DAY SWAP AT FARMERS MARKET
Find a new way to “reduce, reuse, and recycle” items at the first Community Exchange Spring Swap to be held April 23 at the Showers Building between 9 am and 12 noon. Community members are invited to finish up their spring cleaning by donating good, serviceable and “desirable” items at the Showers Building on Friday night between 5 and 7 pm. Donators will be given a special pass to get into shopping an hour early.
“This is a really fun way to promote re-use of good items others no longer need, to build community, and to educate people about different ways to live an abundant life,” said Rhonda Baird, one of the project members.
Besides the give and take of the swap, visitors will have an opportunity to learn about time banks and sign up for the Bloomington Community Exchange (a local exchange and trading system that lets people offer goods and services to their community without using paper currency).
The swap organizers will not be able to accept intimate apparel, chemicals, paint, or old electronics such as televisions or monitors.

Rain and Pea Hen with Chicks!
May this note find you well on this wonderful wet three turkey morning! (thank you to the people who let me know that a female turkey is a hen, not a pea hen)
There are many wild turkeys living in southern Indiana; for years they have been scratching up my neighbors plantings, yet I had not seen any in my woods. This morning, a hen with two chicks meandered down my driveway! Perfect, tiny turkeys!
It was wonderful to awaken in the night to hear sounds of rain falling. It was as though I could feel the earth sigh in relief, and in that not awake place, I found myself saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, mahalo." I, along with many others have been observing tree leaves drooping, dogwood berries ripening, grasses yellowing from thirst, and signs of autumn arriving to early; now, we have a brief reprieve!
Off to a small group ministry workshop this morning, will return later with information about the Council of All Beings set for October 2nd!
Blessings,
Patricia

Updates
What beautiful weather here in Bloomington! For many this beauty helps to revive our spirits, and reminds us that we exist within cycles that allow us to go within ourselves, then reopen somewhat like the perennial plants, into a renewed and slightly transformed world.
As the 40th Earth Day approaches, the Indiana Holistic Health Network Calendar - http://www.indianaholistichealth.net/calendar.htm offers a variety of opportunities that include a variety of benefits, concerts, the Great Unleashing in Bloomington, tree plantings, farmer market celebration, and more.
Non-profits everywhere are dealing with much less than in previous years and this in a time of increasing need for services. That goes for Green Dove and its projects the Indiana Holistic Health Network and Local Food; as well as the collaborative projects of the Reiki Wellness Project for Vets and persons with PTSD. To say that things are tight would be an overstatement. We will just have to see how things evolve and do our best to make decisions that honor the work and those who do the work. To that end, we appeal for donations. We want to continue offering these resources in support of our collective wellness.
May we all be well. Thank you.
