“Moving as one across the blooming mesa, reminded of our higher purpose - to wish harm on no one, for hard times will find them soon enough; to walk with dignity and courage, gratitude and love for the gift of creation; to confront evil with a full heart, sharp eyes and a quiet mind, to know there is a price to be paid for glimpsing the gates of heaven that are right here on earth. May the people stay blessed and protected. Protect Sacred Oak Flat.” -- Charlotte Levinson, 3/29/26 Charlotte Levinson
