Rattlesnakes may be found in this area. They are important members of the natural community. They will not attack, but if disturbed or cornered, they will defend themselves. Give them distance and respect.

Important Points:

Rattlesnakes only bite people in self-defense.
Rattlesnakes don’t have to be coiled to bite.
Rattlesnakes don’t always rattle before biting.
Snakes prefer 70˚F to 90˚F but may be out in the sun at 60˚F.
Less than 0.1% of bites are fatal. Get help quickly.
Never intentionally approach a rattlesnake. 56% of bites occur when people pursue the snake.

Bottom Line:

Wear high boots to walk through the grass.
Watch the ground as you walk.
If you can’t see the ground in grass or weeds, move slowly.
Do not run on ground you cannot see.
When you see or hear a snake leave the area immediately and warn others.
Make sure the area is safe before taking a pet off-leash.

The formation of the Great Plains grasslands began 5 to 7 million years ago but the shortgrass prairie we know today developed following the retreat of the last Wisconsin glaciers approximately 10,000 years ago!

I do not believe that our call to a lifestyle of kinship will resurrect an ecological Eden, I do believe it may save us from despair and offer our children hope. That there will still be small spaces left where people listen to the voices of connectivity.

For the past year and a half, I have regularly used the word “conservation” when referring to our community’s relationship with these ten acres of shortgrass prairie. While conservation has not required that The Land remains unchanged, it has created space to understand the pricelessness of Th...

Discerning what love "is" takes place in abstract, intuitive terrain.

Unfortunately, it seems, more often than not this is a discernment most accurately done in retrospect. In practice, we must live through love before we understand what it was that was happening to us.

It is the outcome of the action that predicts the meaning made from the experience.

Have we been bonded more closely together while remaining as individuals? Do we feel seen, heard, loved, understood, and honored in the community? Do we have a purpose that matches an inner calling and, if not, do we believe we have people cheering us on toward wherever we hope to be going...even if it isn't in the same direction as 'the rest of us'?

At The Land, the potential for 'love manifest' rests in our willingness to change our own behaviors and beliefs to expand the circle of belonging. This is not a change in language for the sake of optics but a true ongoing, internal transformation inspired by authentic relationships. In loving relationships, we break open again and again so that we might, as Dr. Kim Tallbear envisions, "draw people into kinship relations based on a pattern of relational exchange and communal reformation."

The question leading toward or away from love is neither new nor unexpected.

Are we clinging for control to traditions that make us comfortable or are we contributing to the emergence of a beloved community that will build bridges for our children and their children to cross over into a new vision of a world founded on reciprocity and kinship?
