The Call

In the words of Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our First Gig As Camp Hosts

Larry - Since the winters in the Klamath basin are pretty brutal, we needed a winter haven. Next stop,  volunteering with Oregon State Parks at Alfred Loeb State Park, 8 miles east of Brookings, Oregon. We were camp hosts for the months of October and November, 2018. It is a beautiful park on the banks of the Chetco River. A special place to be in the fall of the year. Another great benefit is making life long friends with the hosts that you work with. Joe and Diane made this a very fun easy assignment - team work! Below is a short photo album of our time there.

Charlotte - Our next stop was Harris Beach State Park for the months of December, 2018 and January, February 2019. This time we were going to be yurt cleaners and relief for the camp hosts. We had a great view and front row participation in the wind storms that blow in from the Pacific here. Trees did fall in these windstorms as you will see in the photos. Yurt cleaning had it's good days and not so good days. Really? how can folks do this to a yurt. We think it all goes back to how they grew up in their homes. Some yurts left as neat as a pen and others a total mess. Thank goodness no bedding or dishes are provided.
