She discusses living in the Haight and a psychology experiment by a San Francisco State professor there. In search of rural communal life, Myeba moved to Black Bear Ranch in northern California, where her daughter was born in 1970. She discusses life at the ranch and schooling for her daughter. In 1975, she went to Cabbage Lane, lesbian land in southern Oregon. She discusses her internalized homophobia. She met her partner, Rhys, while tree planting with Full Moon Rising in 1977. Myeba discusses Susie Grimes’ accident while harvesting pinecones. She discusses living in the lesbian community in Eugene. She describes her work for Garbagio’s, an early recycling business started by Michael Gravino. She talks about Rhys’ cancer and death. She discusses her work at the Oregon Research Institute, her spirituality, and the spiritual circles she holds at her home in Eugene.
