Coolidge Hill: our sacred little "Bald Top."

Hi Friends, Thanks to an alert from freelance Trail Buddy Extraordinaire, Erik Freeman, (who alerted me to recent vandalism on our sacred little "bald top" (Coolidge Hill), I ventured up this morning (7/13) to clean it up...even though we have a big initiative coming up next Sat., 7/19, (Our Mid-summer Day of Reflection and Service). I merely picked up the "low hanging fruit." Still plenty of broken glass (as many of you know). Keep faith with our community building/healing concept: less blaming, more empathy. We have some folks out there that we need to reach; I could feel the anger, alienation, and sadness in all the pieces of broken lawn furniture that I collected. They haven't experienced the care and education that inspires most of our youth. Simple as that. Come and help me on Sat., 7/19 We'll share poems, thoughts and prayers. And give the sacred hill a blessing. Look forward to seeing you. Check out the wildflowers, the view, the ripening wild blueberries, and the exquisite clusters of star moss. Told you that The Trash-Free Natick Project was about a lot more than trash. --Pat
