Remember the Less Fortunate during the Holidays

This is a time of year many forget about the less fortunate. Many families are seperated and won't see eachother, many children are going without their basic needs, and many are simply "just left out".

Many are especially having it hard this year due to the recession and stagnant economy. Many are struggling just to keep food on the table, their furnaces running, or a roof over their heads.

Tears fallen....Dreams shattered, hearts that have been cracked and can not seem to heal.......

Remember our less fortunate brothers and sisters, remember our innocent and suffering children.....

Do an act of kindness every chance you can to make another man, woman, or child smile.....

Oh Great One, please give us the strength to get through

the good as well as the bad.

Please touch the less fortunate and take away their pain and sadness, and

heal their cracked hearts.

Please bless the little children who are innocent and suffering needlessly, so

they may find joy in even the smallest of places.

Please give the ones with hardened hearts the ability to touch others with

kindness, and heal their negative ways.

Please give us the wisdom to find the beauty in the ugly places and to

make the less fortunate more fortunate......

We give thanks, Great One, for all you have given us and for all you have taken

away from us, for there is a purpose for everything.

Great One, please give us strength to walk the difficult trails as gracefully

as the easy ones.

Dizzy Drizzle, Stumbling Clouds, and Singing Crickets in the Treetops

Never thought I'd see the day that crickets were singing in the treetops, or hearing the drizzle complain of being dizzy. When I seen a cloud stumble, that was about all I could take, I knew I must be dreaming....

So I tried to wake up out of that dream and the crickets stopped singing. Sadness over came me and I drifted back into my dream world so the music would continue. I would just have to accept the facts with the drizzle and clouds.

As I walked through the forest in tune with the crickets I noticed the bark on all the trees were moving. They were in tune also and seem to be rolling with joy and vibrating to a slow but steady heartbeat. In fact, everything I looked at seemed to be moving and vibrating, for I must have entered the musical forest.

Finally reaching the edge of the forest I looked past it and there was no edge, just black empty space and stars floating all about. I knew I must of reached one corner of the earth and didn't want to fall off. Yet in my mind I knew everything was in a circle, maybe that’s why I couldn't see the edge.

The next thing I knew I was at the creek getting a drink of water, wow! Was that water ever good! I must have drunk at least a bucket full. The rocks were tumbling in the creek bottom and rolling with the current of the water, I said hello to them and began to continue onward.... it seemed my journey was only just beginning.

I was just about to step out into space and use the stars as stepping-stones to skip across the galaxy and my stupid alarm clock went off and woke me up. What a bummer! I got up and ran to the bathroom as fast as I could, my bladder was full and about to burst. It was then I realized I shouldn't have drunk that bucket full of water while I was at that creek!

It’s New! Its New and Improved!

Maybe that is what's wrong with many things on this planet. Many are always looking for "new or new and improved things" and have forgotten what has been working for years. Many have forgotten the old ways that have kept us balanced and grounded throughout the centuries, the wisdom of our grandfathers...and grandmothers.

Seems like the majority of new or improved things advertised and or being used by people are nothing but destructive items to pollute the Human Temple or our Great Mother Earth. Just walk through the grocery store and look at all the items that say new or improved on them and tell me I'm wrong after reading the ingredients or description of the item.

It’s not only the physical; it’s also the mental and spiritual "new and improved" things too. Our new and improved ways of thinking or acting has taken its toll too on this planet and with our species. Just look at the Governments of this planet, the laws that have been created, and the results and tell me I'm wrong. Just look at how many people treat others. Just look at how separated many have become towards their "neighbors" so to speak. Look at all the suffering on this planet and those who have turned a blind eye.

If I were an alien passing by this planet, I surely would have second thoughts about stopping by to say hello. I would see what the species is doing to the planet and to themselves and truly be cautious about allowing myself to be even seen passing by. I would definantly turn on my cloaking device and be wary of missiles heading towards my ship, especially after seeing Earth debris on Mars and all the garbage floating in orbit around the Earth. Not to mention the odd looking crater on the moon with chunks of some form of metal lying around it resembling a bomb.

But on the other hand, there still is a thing called love and harmony. We just need to look back at who we truly are and remember that good does overcome evil. It's up to us "awakened" ones to set things straight again before its too late.

The River of Life....

We are all flowing in the same river.

Many wrongly think that they are flowing in their own river,

and seperate from everyone else.

They are mistaken.

There are many currents in this one river, all flowing together.

Sunrise Prayer

Great One, thank you for another beautiful.

Please give me the strength to get through this day, through

the good as well as the bad, for I am small and weak and sometimes

have difficulty with acceptance and relationship.

Please protect me, my loved ones, and all my relations from

negative and evil forces and harmful energies,

for we all need your protection.

Thank you for all that you have given me and for all that you have

taken away from me, for balance is needed in order to know

the difference.

I pray that I may lay down tonight with clean thoughts and

without regret.

Great One, thank you for all your gifts and for always being there

for me. You always have been and always will be.

WaDo.....

Does the "Medicine" Always Work?

I recently just lost my father to cancer, he died a slow and painful death and no medicine or prayer could stop this process of dieing or "crossing over" that he had to go through. Throughout the years I remember my father telling me that "For every illness there is a plant to cure it, all you need to do is seek it." Yet, this time, there was no seeking a plant for my father; he had no other choice but to walk the "Blueroad".

Of course questions bounced around in my mind, heart, and soul during this time going through this with my father such as; why isn't there a plant that could cure my father now? Why hasn't there been a plant found to eliminate cancer? Why???? Why???? Why???? There were many questions....

Some have told me that cancer may be a generational curse of some sort, or it is a way for a person to burn off karma from past lives so they do not have to carry it into the next world. Many theories exist about the many different types of ways people experience the physical dieing process. Could it be that dieing is the time for that person to work their own medicine with the heart, mind, soul, and spirit? Could it be that dieing is beyond the time of working with plants to cure? Regardless of what was causing my father to die, could it have simply just been "his time"?

I for one as I sat there for a span of four weeks watching my father deteriorate, I noticed one thing in particular, it was his time....As hard as it was for me, I could not even imagine how hard it was for him to be going through this. I was just sitting there watching, he was the one actually doing this, and there was no turning back for him. This was not the time to mix up and "make" medicine with plants to cure him; this was the time for my father to use his own medicine, to work his own medicine within and to face his destiny.

There is a time for everything and nothing shall get in the way of our destiny, nothing can stop us from the final chapter in our lives here on earth. There is no cheating the dieing process regardless of the form in which it must take on in each individual person. There comes a time when a person must forget about plant medicine and working with other cures and look within and work their own medicine. There comes a time when each one of us must face our own destiny.

Today is a good day to start working your medicine within and to get things straight concerning your heart, mind, soul, and spiritual place within the cosmos. No one knows their exact date with destiny and it may come upon you quickly, be prepared.

The last few days of my father's life here on earth I noticed a stillness and a sense of peace within him. Knowing that it was the hardest challenge this great man ever faced during his life-walk, I knew that "his" medicine was hard at work within him.....I also knew that when it comes right down to it, the medicine always does work....

The Sacred Feminine….

The Goddess is returning right before our very eyes,

She has been chained and held prisoner for way too long.

She being so connected to the universal powers of wisdom, mankind has been

limited by suppressing her power and presence.

The feminine will be one of the major keys during this age of awakening.

Loosen her chains and let her teach us!

Mankind cannot fly into the age of truth with only one wing….

_____________________________________________________

The God and Goddess Within….

Within each and every one of us is the masculine/feminine energy that we must find balance with in order to be whole. The religions and people in power over time have caused us to be conditioned to believe that the feminine is weak, taboo, and even evil. We have been taught that the feminine is “bad or weak” so we live our lives trying to separate this “feminine” energy from the self. Therefore, we have become very unbalanced as a species. This has caused great tragedy and harm towards women especially, but also to men as well. Women are taught to be masculine, men are taught to be masculine. Neither is taught to be feminine. Women forced to stay home, cook and raise children, does not make them feminine. The God and Goddess are within each and every one of us regardless if we are male or female. Two halves make the whole and without one or the other the result will be chaotic spiritually, physically, and psychologically. To separate this energy in our lives is not natural and the sooner we believe that, the more balance and healed we will become as a species….

The Doomsday Mucus and Paranoid Infection....

With all the evil surrounding us, we still need to continue OUR path and live the best we can. Too many people get caught up in the Doomsday Mucus and Paranoid Infection and crawl into a hole and miss out on alot of good things this world and this life has to offer. In the midst of all the ugly is alot of beauty....you just have to open your eyes to see it!

We must always find balance in every path we choose to walk....

Damage Control....

I have damaged myself by being negative, angry, frustrated, fearful, hateful, etc., I have been at war against my inner self, my soul and spirit.

I am not responsible for the actions of others. I cannot change the way people are and can only change how I am affected by them. I cannot change the unchangeable....

The warrior in me is in no way allowed to lay down and stop fighting the good fight, that is what I live for and what makes me who I am.

Leave me alone and at peace and I will respect you, hurt me and/or the ones I love and there will no respect, there will be change. I am life, I am death, there is no middle ground except for what YOU imagine it to be.

The faces of life....and death, come and go, there is a time for both. The pain and suffering will end just as the storm fades away into a beautiful sunrise.

Who are we to set the rules and judge the wicked? They judge themselves and condemn themselves into the misery they wish upon others.

With all the peace and beauty in the universe, chaos is at its doorstep. With every gift of love there is a gift of hate.

I am life, I am death, there is no where in between except what you imagine it to be, there is no life, there is no death, there is only this time and place now.......

The Music Within....

I think music reminds the soul and/or spirit of the rythmic beauty and harmonious vibrations that are spread all throughout the universe. It connects us to the whole in a sense....

We are all connected to this universal vibration and music is in a way how we sense it, how we connect to it. We are all made of star dust and deeply connected to the music of the universe....

I also feel that the reason people dance is a sub-concious spiritual and/or physical act and/or reaction of how this vibration flows through the universe, of course there is a positive and negative to this as there is with all things....

The Owl and Cougar, One Cherokee Perspective....

The traditional Cherokee have a special regard for the owl and cougar. They are the honored ones in some versions of the Creation story. They were the only two who were able to stay awake for the seven nights of Creation. The others fell asleep. Today, because of this, they are nocturnal in their habits and both have night vision. The owl is seemingly different from other birds, and he resembles an old man as he walks. Sometimes, the owl can be mistaken for a cat with his feather tufts and silhouette of his head. This resemblance honors his nocturnal brother, the cougar. The owls’ eyes are quite large and set directly in front like a persons, and he can close one independent of the other. The cougar is an animal whose has screams which resemble those of a woman. He is an animal who has habits that are very secret and unpredictable.
