Believe nothing , O monks, merely because you have been told it....or because it is traditional,or because you yourselves have imagined it. Do not believe what your teachers tell you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.

                                                             The Tempest

    I went to Lebanon in 1979-80,somewhere's around there, to see the reason for the upheaval.

My cloak was close to my breast. I spoke with the townsfolk and asked for answers. None could satisfy my satiate. They told me of an old ? man who lived on the hill adjacent to the town who might have an answer. Beware ,"he doesn't look like us" he doesn't wear his hair like us" and "  he has let his beard grow long" . "Unkempt" said they. "He may be evil"! I avowed to the priests for protection for I had to find this man for answer.

   I gathered my cloak closer to my chest and set out up a trail that looked to lead up this hill. And I did. Stumbling on stone, catching my feet on vine it wasn't long before I grew weary. Scorpion aware, snake's at ease, wasps of every kind up this strait and turning lane that led to the goal of my pursuit. I fell again, stumbling upon my face. Flecks of blood on my arms from briars as sharp as man could steel, and long,..,about two inches. I had my cloak upon my back. I was sweating from the walk.  Every step a burden. Twining's upon my brow. My cloak heavy and breathing. I had no where else to go. My heart sank into an abyss that was forever avowed. I was convinced I was in hell, expecting fire.

  To my left more briars, to my right wasps of every kind , and as large as the briars. 'My god bring me from this desolate place and place me in a sea of tranquility'. No answer. No comeuppance I trudged on. And then the rain. 

  I remembered my father bidding his life savings on a picture of the Christ. He went to collect and found out that another man had bid more. He took out his sword and sliced the oil painting in half. No abrasion. I was wet. Rain and blood soaked the inside of my cloak. Then the thunder.

The light showed my way. Up ahead I saw a door in the side of the mountain/hill. A running fool was I . I knocked to a long wait. What answered may have been the most beautiful human I have ever seen. If Jesus had an engraven image this person never sat for it. Mustafa set me down, took my cloak from me, fed me wine and cheese.

  Then Mustafa turned towards the door with my cloak in hand and disappeared,....,as suddenly as the lightening. I imagined him to walk the tempest. I ate cheese ,drank all his wine and fell asleep. My dreams were about the tempest.

Namiste'  means "I recognize the god in you". On a beautiful day like today I can see the god's appear. "My apology to Christians. Mycelium is a god as well. A living god with mathematical properties to the structure of the universe." Every step we take represents 300 sq. miles of mycelium. It is what makes our water pure. We are privileged to step on a god. Every step. Good reason to stay alive, huh?

Mushroomers,

Spring has sprung and Morels are on their way: http://morelhunters.com/index.php/  Which means we need to schedule some Morel walks (though how early should we plan to start looking?) as well as walks for later in the season.  I propose that we have a walk the last weekend in May (the 28th or 29th), as well as others earlier and later.

We need a treasurer- someone to care for the club bank account and otherwise tend to business related to club funds.  If you are willing to step up to this important role, please call me at (845) 418-6257.  In the event that I am chosen for the survival challenge I am currently in the running for, I will be "off the grid" for some undetermined amount of time and unable to tend to this.  

We had our mushroom cultivation workshop in Honesdale earlier this year and I was invited to speak at a Master Gardeners workshop in Milford.  It is clear that there is much interest in the cultivation of mushrooms.  Previously, we have held Shiitake workshops in the spring (it is time to cut logs right now).  There is significant work involved in organizing these workshops, which is carried by the efforts of a few people.  As a community organization and member-run organization, we need more help to conduct these workshops!  With a little bit of organization, the club can also help members in their own cultivation efforts through purchase of spawn, specialized workshops, and networking.  

Happy Spring!

Nathaniel
