"Just for today…do not worry and be filled with gratitude."
We do not go round a circle of existence. That is an illusion, just as the cycling of the planets and the stars is an illusion. We move along a spiral track. It is not quite the same journey from the cradle to the grave each time. Sometimes the differences are small. Sometimes they are very important. We set out each time on the same road but along that road we have a choice of adventures. ~ J. B. Priestley ~ I Have Been Here Before
"In our drive to bring the earth to subjection, humanity has separated itself from nature. This disconnect translates for some as economic progress. In this capacity, nature is brought into subjection at all costs. Air and water quality, principles of biodiversity, indeed humanity itself - all are made subservient to development. Under such conditions a crude transformation is underway.
Our cause is the transformation of the human condition and the triumph of the human spirit...Our cause is human development, which can only succeed when all development is in harmony with the earth and attuned to the natural rhythms which move the tides and ride the currents of fresh air, and pulsate in the human heart, ever striving for freedom and expression..." -Dennis J. Kucinich
Grandmother Moon holds us sways us moves us guides us
Be patient, she says, watch the cycles, I will give you All one breath at a time
I show the way with clarity and grace gentleness is the path
Cry for the waters laugh for the children smile for the sacred rocks
The Warrior is you!
The spirit plants open us The brother wind cleanses us The galactic forces touch our hearts - "Shine your Light" they urge Chant your ancestors Alive!
Stand tall on the Sacred Earth Bring the harmony to this moment
Fulfill your cosmic destiny!
"Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget." - Arundhati Roy
The full moon in Taurus as it rose last night Nov 13 2008 out my back door.
When an individual seeks power and privilege over another, at the expense of another, then this can only result in conflict and war; it is the first act of war. Likewise, when human society puts itself first, seeking to dominate and consume nature for its own purposes, then again this is a source of conflict between humanity and nature; this is to wage war on nature, a war that humankind can never win; it will lead only to our own downfall.
"Trees outstrip most people in the extent and depth of their work for the public good."
- Sara Ebenreck
"If you hold opposites together in your mind, you will suspend your normal thinking process and allow an intelligence beyond rational thought to create a new form." ~Niels Bohr, physicist
