Rap 19: Covid Safety

To Gather or Not to Gather? That is the question. Is it nobler to Om from Home or to go to smaller gatherings and practice safety protocols? If you do gather, what safety protocols make sense? Gathering is an outdoor activity so ranks lower on the risk factor for catching or transmitting COVID-19 provided you maintain social distancing and some other basic safety tips. Be honest about your vaccination status. Own your choices and share them with others so that people can make informed decisions regarding proximity. Respect people who chose to engage in safety protocols such as mask wearing, social distancing, and not sharing tangible items. Respect people who are not vaccinated. All councils/counsels/circles should make accommodations for people who want to social distance, wear masks, etc. Please do not share anything that has been in your mouth. Not sharing is caring. Please wear a mask while doing food prep or while serving, especially if you have not been vaccinated. Please set up

This year's unusual name

Normally, I create a new blog each year that has at a minimum the general area we intend to gather in next year. Because things are so up in the air and will take months for a vision to start emerging, this year's blog is just 2021.  The folks on the land in Idaho 2020 reached a consensus to go to specific national forests in the states of New Mexico or Arizona last year.    Many people had a vision of doing the 2021 gathering in Idaho.    "Prism" is the word The word I've been hearing about gathering to pray and/or meditate for world peace this 4th of July is this idea of a prism that refracts the light.

Where will the prism gatherings (plural) be?

Updated 6/23/2021 at 3 PM Pacific Time This year is shaping up to be multiple smaller gatherings and/or camp outs over the July 4th prayer for world peace. Some of these gatherings will have an emphasis on COVID-19 safety protocols, others perhaps not so much. Many people may chose not to gather.  The idea is not to have one large gathering, but to spread points of light around the land.   The pandemic is still on-going and many of us take this very seriously.  The idea is that of the prism where the light comes in an refracts out to many points around the USA. A lot of this is off the raider and very confusing. There are frequent Zoom webinars/conference calls where the plans are being discussed and people are being asked to plug in to different efforts. If you want the webinar/call information, please reach out to me at kzirk at earthlink dot net and I'll send you the information.   The Zoom is open 24/7 but I know there are specific times when more people are dialed in. You can
