“Though this reservoir posing as a lake would not survive the removal of the Shasta Dam,” writes Meagan Fischer, “there is an ecology here. I am not an ecologist, but what I can report is that, like they said in Jurassic Park, life finds a way.”
“I have discovered that parks help fill a void for me,” writes Meagan Fischer, “of finding community in my devotion to the web of life. After years of frantic activism, I am learning to care for myself for the long haul, to surround myself with beauty.”

Astral Calendar – This calendar was designed for people to get more connected to a genuine solar year, even if they know little or nothing about astrology. Each zodiac month features a nude montage by Jean Jacques Andrè, an artist and photographer who has been creating with the female form since the 1950s. It also includes the Celtic holidays, eclipses, and the new & full moons–although the main focus is on the sun’s (earth’s) annual cycle.
