In 2018, a teacher of mine told me about a book called The Great Bay: Chronicles of the Collapse by Dale Pendell. Pendell was a poet, ethnobotanist, and novelist, who died in early 2018, just months before I heard about his book. I spent most of 2017 and 2018 in isolation. After getting divorced in late 2016, I moved into a cabin at the top of a windy road in Topanga Canyon, California, in hopes of starting a new life. This new life
What a text ! I'm adding " The great bay" to my reading list right now. It's hard to find words, Anya... Hard to not feel sadness...
But I know that you're on the right path and that Love and Truth will always be in your steps.
It's a very scorpionic post in a very scorpionic time. We're all craving Change with a big C, and we're gonna get it. We're changing, the planet is changing, let's just change and have faith in change. Even if it's just micro steps, even if we will not be able to see some results, the labour has begun worldwide... A New World is coming.
Shocked and sad to see this but I understand the need to end a chapter and begin something new. I’m looking forward to seeing the great things you’ll go on to create.
This book was one of my favorites of all time. Brilliant. I met dale in Ohio when I worked at a botanical sanctuary and gave him a tour and I didn’t realize who he was then. I later was in contact with him in Nevada city and didn’t manage to get an interview with him before he died. But I did with his partner, Laura Pendell. That book is so underrated- it’s up there with Octavia butler in my opinion.
