Please help our mission
Its back round to begging bowl day, the day I collect donations for the work that we do. So much needs done at our new orchard and oak grove spiral. This week alone me and my big mate must have put well over 40 hours of work into the oak spiral, never mind all the hours I spend on here promoting tree planting and interacting with people. I do not get paid for what I do guys, I have my own small business which has been funding much of my tree planting work for the past 10 years.
Our work for the community and nature doesn't run on likes. Things cost money, peoples time cost money. I can see how many community projects collapse so easily, its hard to get donations at times. I can also see how other charities really have to give it the hard sell too all the time as you really have to try and play on peoples heart strings for them to part with their money.
Last week I got £20 donations. Very grateful for the one person that sent this. It will help pay for something, but we have things to buy that cost hundreds here very soon. We need to buy a decent petrol lawnmower, make up some nice signs, buy stakes, caging, woodchip and so many other things. I've also ordered a flail mower to come for going around the spiral pathway for making it good and proper for people to walk around. This is £300 rental alone, luckily though my mate needs this too so we are splitting the cost.
My oak trees that will be going into the spiral I have been nurturing and caring for for many years. This is a piece of history in the making what we are creating here. Next to the spiral is 300 heritage Irish apple trees that we have planted for everyone to enjoy. Another 200 will be added this year bringing the total to 500 apple trees for the community and nature.
I've tried to go down many routes of generating funding over the years to keep on expanding urban orchard projects but many have fell on deaf ear. Some of the ways I was trying just took me on another path I didnt want to go down.
I've taken a massive gamble coming on here sharing all the spiritual stuff I share. Its only just in the past couple of years I've seen that this is not without problems. One of my teachers said beware of how much light you shine, the darker energies ( Mara and Lucifer he called them) of the world pick up on this and come for you. I've had many wolves dressed as sheep come into my life.
Its so important to keep implementing the spiritual practices daily to protect your aura. When I dont I'm f**ked. Mara the tempter is everywhere. Be vigilant as the Buddha says.
Heard Mike Tyson say once, when your loved by God your also loved by the Devil.
When you first hear things like this you think what a load of BS, but its true. None of us are immune to spiritual attack. Its one of the reasons many monks and nuns live in sanghas, stronger in numbers they are.
All I've got is wee betty as my sangha..
