Hello friends,

It’s springing here and I’m delighting in what seems like the sudden appearance of gifts in the grasses- blooming flax, strawberry blossoms, hidden eggs, the reappearance of the neighborhood chukars, or some other surprises. Times are arduous though. They call for wisdom and vigilance, especially for those looking to grow food, flowers and forbs. I spend much of my spring hand-pulling cheat grass. As I crouch above the Earth, I imagine myself removing thorns from the surface of one most beloved, while also removing the thorns of misunderstanding from my mind. As Steven Johnson writes in the first of this issue’s feature articles, “Working with plants may sound simple. But the reality is often repetitive, rigorous and humble. And yet it brings a profound inner reward. It is an act of love.” 

Love and attention is what our times are calling for. As Dr. Johnson points out in the second article, amidst all of the tragedies, afflictions and challenges of our current day, the best of our human nature also arises. You, our FHC audience, clearly and directly demonstrated this by responding to our call and generously donating to the recovery efforts of two Waldorf schools that were destroyed in the recent California fires. With your help, FHC was able to give $525 each to Pasadena Waldorf School and Westside Waldorf School to assist in the rebuilding of their campuses.

The other features in this issue take a deeper look into this unique moment of opportunity we have before us to reconnect as human beings and to redirect our attention toward meeting each other and the future in a wise, courageous and transformative way. Even though the conversations are primarily centered around protecting and guiding children, the lessons and insights are valuable to all. The immensity of the challenges facing us can feel overwhelming, but we are a unique and surprising arising, we human beings, and in helping each other, we help our present and future selves. 

With that, dear readers, I leave you to enjoy the Spring issue. I am off to do something else fun, like watch clouds or dye eggs or plant cabbages. All of us at FHC wish you a beautiful and happy season!

Amanda Jacobs, for FHC

The healthy social life is found

When in the mirror of each human soul

The whole community finds its reflection,

And when in the community

The virtue of each one is living.
