We had yet another small earthquake here in Morris County New Jersey, in the wee hours this morning. That’s three in the last couple weeks. To be fair, a seismologist predicted that another one within the week was likely; nevertheless, earthquakes are unusual in this neck of the woods so they have us speculating.
Christopher Knowles connects these earthquakes with the equally unusual rash of UFO sightings in Morris County last month. Indeed, there were more sightings around here last night, on the eve of the latest earthquake. Very interesting. I need to start braving the cold to keep an eye on the night skies.
Meanwhile, I’ve been looking at the earthquakes from a more geomantic standpoint. What is the earth saying, I ask myself. I saw meaning in the timing of the first two earthquakes (explored here and in connection with the 2006 Mount Desert Island earthquakes here), but this latest quake didn’t suggest anything to me at first. Then I remembered the conversation I had with my husband before going to bed last night.
Since late last summer, we’ve been talking on and off about digging up the whole lawn and growing vegetables. We’ve been talking about it in a noncommittal way, as in it would be a good idea but it would sure bother our neighbors. Last night, however, we talked about it very seriously. Of course, during World War II these things were called “victory gardens.” People were encouraged to do it to reduce the stress on the war-time food supply.
Now take a look at where the USGS positions the latest earthquake, and while you’re at it, the first earthquake, too. In case you don’t feel like clicking, I will tell you:
Could the earth be giving us a hint?
Maybe I’m reaching, but a planting a victory garden does seem like a good, constructive thing to do.
Namaste
