"Rendering"

I

come to Pray,

but  I  sit  in  Silence.

I  am  Listening  for You  to talk  to me.

"Come, Let Go  of  your  Heavy Burdens.

Raise  up your Weary arms,

all  the  Light  and Yearning  they  Hold.

Into  My  Hands,

Rest  your  Hunger and Hurt.

Believe  all  you Seek 

is  not  beyond  Hope

Trust  it  is is Not

Outside

your 

Being."

"Willingness"

Here we  are, Loving One, Mystery, Light,

beginning  to  Quiet ourselves,

beginning  to be  Still;

remembering You Created  us

to  Flourish  in  Love,

remembering  an olde Desire  to Grow in You.

We   long  to  be  More  than  we  are  Living now,

we  long  to Live  all  we  can  Become

but,  fearful, wonder  How  we can.

We  try to  Choose  the  Best  and Truest Path

but  stumble  in  our  Living  and  Choosing.

We  want  to handle  things ourselves;

we'd  rather  make  it  on  our  own,

and  besides,

Trusting You, God, can  be very hard.

But  we  need  more Light, Your Light

to  See  the ways  Ahead,

we  Need  more Wisdom, Yours, to Choose

The Way  that's Well  for us.

Here  we  are, Beginning Willingness,

Beginning  to Trust, to Open ourselves,

our  Lives  and  Decisions

to Your  Illuminating  Light.

Here  we  are, Loving  One, ready to Begin.

"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.

"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."

"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.
