Comment on The Journey to Xanadu Begins! Beth’s Travels on the Bartram Trail 36 by Beth Thompson

Thank you so much Janice! I’m glad you enjoyed it. It was Francis Harper’s Naturalist Edition that first put me onto the connection between the two writings. I read in more detail in a book that’s notated in the timeline, by John Livingstone Lowes, The Road to Xanadu. But my take on the poem is largely my own, on what the metaphors could be referring to. In fact, I have a post called The Stately Magnolia, which I realized later could be Coleridge’s Stately Pleasure Dome.

Another winner, Beth. This is an amazing discovery. Did you figure out the parallels, or is this something literary critics have been noting? Either way, your journey and photos add another layer to the creativity. Much appreciated.

Very moving and disturbing interview. Many of the points you raised I was either not aware of, or only minimally so.I believe we are beginning to connect the dots–although only since the white privileged have been affected–ie fracking, Tar Sands, Harper, etc. As long as it’s been south of the border, or affecting only disenfranchised groups including indigenous, people of color, the poor, migrants, etc. no-one has been willing to discuss or reveal the problem–buried in denial. Thank you so much for the work you have been doing.
I have been engaged in primarily immigrant (migrants and farmworkers in particular) and Latin American issues for many years now and have only in the last 2 years become aware of just how horrendous the white man’s attack on indigenous people has been or the effect it has had. Some folks at one of the Joanna Macy workshops I attended introduced me to restorative justice, in particular a Canadian book by Rupert Ross, “Returning to the Teachings: Exploring Aboriginal Justice”. He gives (what I think) is a very stirring, historical account of what happened in Canada and how it affected aboriginal nations–very similar to what happened in the US. The recent connection to mining through IdleNo More and the Pachamama Alliance, and of course the Occupy movement, I believe will further explore both the historical and the present effects of greed on “all our relations” and hopefully provide a space for healing and restitution in some form. May all beings be blessed with connection and healing through teachers like yourself who raise awareness and refuse to give up.

You are always interesting, even when speaking in tongues. Your photographs are amazing. And the art you craft from them as well. I think you might well look into this Live Oak oil. I would like to try it. You know Georgia is recently developing an industry from Olive growing and Olive oil. Google Georgia Olive Oil. I think you are truly one cool chick with an amazing potential quotient. You’re gonna get it, no doubt.
