This is definitely not a popular plant to have around: poison ivy (Toxicodendron rydbergii)

It appears mine is the variety that likes to climb trees. Given that it’s growing in the back yard out of harm’s way, I may heed this advice:

If you’ve identified poison ivy in your yard, you can consider letting it be and teaching your family to avoid it. Humans are the only animals bothered by poison ivy, and if it’s not in an area where people regularly walk or play, you may be better off just leaving it alone and instructing children and guests to steer clear rather than handling it. 1

Completed first draft of new diagrams describing the basic “flows” in a money-based economy versus a time-based economy. Here they are in one graphic:

Next, writing the narrative that accompanies the individual slides and ties the concept together. But that’s definitely for another day!

Quoted

The Master entered the room to give His last talk in Dublin:

I have explained every question for you, delivered to you the message of God, expounded the mysteries of the divine Books for you, proved the immortality of the spirit and oneness of truth and expounded for you economic questions and divine teachings.

As this was His last address everyone came to shake His hand and offer his or her thanks before leaving His presence. Mrs Parsons said that the people were usually happy but because they knew ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was leaving they were sad and wanted to prolong His stay.

He replied, ‘I, too, wished to stay longer but I must go to Green Acre and other places. I must raise the call of the Kingdom in all places. The days of my life in this world are limited, so I must pass through all regions and announce the glad tidings of the Kingdom of Abhá.’ 2
