"Blessing"

  <<+>>

 

 Once again,

we call upon the Ancestors,

upon all the Sacred Directions.

Father Sky, and Mother Earth, Creator, God,

we Humbly ask You for Strength and Courage to Speak up against

injustice, greed,

and the destruction of our Sacred Water, Air, and Earth.

We Pray that all Women

Respectfully Guide the Men,

standing Side by Side, Balancing the Energies 

of Compassion, Generosity, and Love.

We  Pray that all Nations Join together in Unity and Peace.

We ask for Help to Remember to be

 True Human Beings,

to Live in Goodness for Humanity and all Living Beings.

We place our Decisions and Actions to help Heal our Earth Mother

so that Peace and Love will await our Next Generations.

May you Bless us so that

We will always Choose to Think 

through

our

Hearts.

 To all my Relations,

 may you Walk in the Light of the Great Spirit.

"Idle No More"

A
Nation
is not Conquered
until the
Hearts
of its
Women 
are on the 
Ground,
then it is done,
no matter how brave
its Warriors
nor how strong
the
 Weapons.

~Since 11 December, 2012, Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapistkat First Nation

has been on Hunger Strike.  On behalf of her people and all First Nations, Chief Spence

has requested a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss Canadian 

treatment of First Nation's people.  Too date, this meeting has not been granted. 

In the name of Justice and Compassion this meeting needs to take place, and

open dialogue must begin, for the benefit of all. This issue not only affects those in Canada,

but its consequences are far-reaching.
 

To Chief Theresa Spence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God continue to hold
you in the palm of His mighty hand.~May your Light continue to shine and be a continual Beacon of Hope to
all peoples of  First Nations. ~Beannaichte'!

"Crisis"

I rise to the occasion

        and above the noise...

"I see in the near Future 

a Crisis approaching that unnerves me to tremble

for the Safety of my Country...

Corporations have been enthroned and an Era of Corruption

in High Places will follow,

and the many Powers of the Country will endeavor to prolong

its reign by working upon the Prejudices of the People

until all Wealth is aggregated

in  Few Hands

and the 

Republic

is 

destroyed."

Abraham Lincoln

"Social Commentary"

The names

 don't fool me one bit.

They're not deluxe hotels,

or summer cottages along the ocean.

They're prisons for the elderly,

neglected, and unwanted.

They're kindergartens for broken olde children,

with psychologically programmed games

to keep the children entertained.

Don't try to fool me.

You can cast me aside if I'm in the way, 

but I'm much too old to sit and play. 

My mind is sharp,

my senses keen.

I am no child, I am a man!

Don't make me end 

it all

where it began.

"A Bridge"

Standing 

close to the River's edge,

I study the traffic overhead,

passing back and forth with so much ease,

and wonder.

Could Time devise for me a Structure,

a Bridge so Strong and True,

as to guarantee my Finding

the Way from

where I am

to

You.

"First Peace"

The

 First Peace~

which is the most important

is that which Dwells within the Souls

of people

when they realize their 

Relationship~

their Oneness~ with the Universe

and all its Powers~

When they realize that at the Center of the Universe

dwells the Great Spirit~
and this Center is really everywhere~

it is Within

each

of

Us.
