This was one of two texts posted today by Blackhawk, and I forward it with his permission .... I was visiting with my relatives... the clouds, the mountains, the sky, the trees My relatives touched my spirit, nudged it lovingly "Listen to us impatient one, we are forever You must remember the gentleness of time You are struggling to be who you are You say you want to learn the old ways Struggling to learn when all you must do is remember Remember the People, remember sky and Earth Remember the People have always struggled to live in harmony, in peace. Struggle against selfishness and weakness so the People may live as Nations, The old ways are hard, the People have always had to work together Remember impatient one, remember and live... Do not be afraid of truth, respect, discipline, share your life so the People may live. Honor sky and Earth, honor yourself, honor your relations... Remember impatient one, the gentleness of time." Grandmother Moon, you are more than light in the night You are more than the Moon You are spirit connection, your energy is our light You are memories to generations past You are the creator of sensations, they will always last You are the knowledge, the teacher, the influence to keep the People sane You are a healer from spirit pain. Grandmother Moon, we love you, and we are angry at the invaders who trash you and violate our universe with their mechanical uncleanliness. We pray for you, for us, and for the invader who just can't comprehend respect, love, or the balance of life. We do not join the invading madness >From the way they act which speaks of spirit sadness Machine, money, progress, is the cause of our common abuse. We see you Grandmother, we feel you, we love you We know through your reality we will endure. We are one. We pray for you, we pray to you. Grandfather is whispering in the wind.... "Rejoice at the life you are a part of, natural energy bound to natural laws. You will survive this temporary madness imposed upon you. Natural light is longer than oppressor's dillusionary insanity. Spirits experience human deeds, but need not end. This is just one place that changes Spirit life is forever if you want, the universe is your home, you can survive here. Do not let them kill you, keep your spirit strong, for distant stars and distant drums are the memories of spirit infancy Children of Earth, let the spirit live so you can grow in your place in the universe." ------------------------------------------------------- RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
