Rebecca Schillenback is trying to figure out how to be an earthling and a human being in a time of great upheaval, change, and potential for transformation.  She's one of very few Schillenbacks in the world, because it's a made-up last name — crafted by taking a little bit of her previous last name, and a little bit of her husband George's previous last name, and smooshing them together.  Rebecca and George live with their two teenagers in the hills of Caroline, in the place where the Cayuga Lake Watershed meets the Susquehanna watershed, a place where the first nations people from the south and the north would also meet along the waterways.  Her teenagers are 14 and 17 and are always teaching her how to be present, to hold on, and to let go.  Rebecca makes her living, makes meaning, and makes a life as the chaplain for Hospicare.  She is a recorded Quaker minister in the New York Yearly Meeting.  Previous to this vocation, she's worked as a farm laborer, a pre-school teacher, a home health aide, a small business owner, and a celebrant.  She believes in compost, photosynthesis, flowers, seeds, soil, and the presence of the Sacred everywhere and in everything.  She loves to grow potatoes and tomatoes for her family and eat them all winter long.  This year, for her 50th birthday, she learned how to cane and weave chair seats, took a quilting class, and learned how to play 'You are My Sunshine' and 'Ode to Joy' on the harmonica.   She's always forgetting and then remembering to practice breathing, listening, being, and belonging.
