“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing”…Arundhati Roy
…..And out here on the edge, I hear her breathing in the waves washing in on the shore, the wind in the trees, the life all around me.
There’s a lot of confusion, depressing news, chaos and anger going on and I don’t want to contribute to any more of that. It isn’t all us versus them as we are all in this together. Knowing what is good and what isn’t is pretty simple and one knows it intrinsically in our hearts and souls. Soul and heart destroying energies are the opposite of live and if you spell that backwards, you know what we get. I’m thinking that it can be buried in good, in love, in understanding, in truth and clarity….not succumbing to the chaos.
These times were foretold to us by an Elder from the Southwest who couldn’t read or write but his wife wrote his prophesies in a book now disappeared…but he said…
“ There will come a time of great confusion and fear. People will feel they are trapped and imprisoned inside a box with walls on all sides. People will be bouncing off each other like excited molecules trying to find solutions and a way out….but rather than calming themselves, they get more frustrated, angry or intolerant. At this time, if you take a deep breath, calm yourself so that Spirit may come to you rather than being drowned out, you will find yourself in a place of calm and peace where no one is looking. Spirit will then tap you on your shoulder and show you the way out….the path of freedom.”
Geronimo once said that the most violent thing one can do to another is to destroy their soul.
Hmmm….well if we stop the destruction, understanding that everything moves in a circular pattern rather than a pyramid, where what one does, one receives….perhaps we can escape the boxed narrative that seems to be stagnating around the world.
I haven’t posted for awhile, I just didn’t feel words could envelop or convey what feelings were flowing but this is a little something…..
Well, that’s enough for today, I hope the stars, sun, Earth and moon inspire you, it is a beautiful cosmos…sending love and healing energies out to all, our brothers, sisters, friends, family and our beautiful Earth and All Our Relations, Klecco, Klecco “Thank You” in the local Nuu Chah Nulth language, Meegwetch in my late but present partner’s Ojibwe (Anishinabe) language and Gratitude to all.
These words are just what I needed to hear. Thank you. The elder's words are so wise. I love the quote by Arundhati Roy........a new world is on its way, with or without us. On the other side of the mayhem, may humans find a way to live in harmony with the earth and each other - as your people have done for millennia.
