AND THEN ITHE HARVEST GATHERING WAS OVER (PDF-1068)

Well, I tried to load a short video taken by my wife Margaret of the Earthwork-Women's

set at the Harvest Gathering where I have been for the last week, but it failed. The video

was poor, the sound was poor, but the spirit of the Earthwork woman is not. The woman

artists in the Earthwork music collective offer a special set each year for listeners, where

each of them sings a song. In this case, my daughter Anne is singing Dylan's "I Shall Be

Released.' Thought you might like to hear a little taste of their solidarity.

The Annual Harvest Gathering is over; I am back home where my dog has been waiting

for me all this time. I have way too many mosquito, spider, and bug bites than I would

like and it feels so good to have my own shower and bathroom back, not to mention

sleep. I have not slept much in days.
