Dear Friends, Yesterday morning I was reflecting upon the word PATRIOTIC, loyalty to the fatherland, and how I have sort of disassociated from it ever since my days as a world traveler. The idea of patriotism brings to mind all of those things which help to separate and divide us. The ol' us versus them. Feeling my strong connection to Mother Earth these days in her time of ascension, I wondered if there was a word to express that sentiment, one whose loyalties were with Mother Earth. So then I thought, what about MATRIOTIC? Since 2003 is the year of the rise of feminine energy, why not proclaim ourselves Matriots for the greater good?
