Beatitudes for the 21st Century
by Jan Phillips....

Blessed be the Earth and those who tend her, for she is the source and sustenance of our lives.

Blessed be the children who hunger for food, learning, and homes that are safe, for their future is shaped by our choices today.

Blessed be refugees fleeing the violence of war and poverty-may they find shelter, peace, and work that sustains them.

Blessed be those who are calling for freedom, resisting oppression and risking their lives in the struggle for justice, for they are the shapers of a brighter world.

Blessed be the persecuted and the wrongly judged, for theirs is a sorrow lessoned only by mercy and human kindness.

Blessed be the prophets who speak and write of a world beyond war,  for theirs are the words becoming flesh.

Blessed be the story-tellers, music-makers, and artists at life, for they are the true light of the world.

Blessed be the tender-hearted who mourn and grieve the wars we've fought, the lives we've lost - may peace ride in on the river of their tears.
 ````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I say....Blessed be the visionaries, like Jan Phillips, who envision extraordinary in all of life's journey and practice it by living it in each moment of now, so that those who are witness to it glean a new understanding of the responsibility to our Brother and Sister, The Wild Kingdom, and Mother Earth and Father Sky.
A'HO!
Wishing for You, a day filled with Blessed Be!  Happy Easter!!!
In Divine Love,

World Water Day-March 22, 2013

Water is Life, it is the elixir which sustains every living thing on our planet...for more information on what is happening, check in with your city and state resources and participate in a water ceremony, many will be going on all weekend.

Here is a link to read about the United Nations Human Rights...which includes but is not limited to

environment, extreme poverty, water and sanitation, many women's issues, health and so on.  There are many links to inform over there.

United Nations News Channel

You can also check out WaterKeeper Alliance...they are on Facebook, Twitter, Ecowatch, YouTube and have a website, here:

WaterKeeper Alliance

There are many First Nations Peoples engaging in Idle No More events in Canada, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, and I'm sure other places too, but these are the ones I'm aware of.

Jan over at Water Is Life blog is a must see!

There is a Spring Equinox Water Meditation

at Dancing With Water...you can check that out here:

Dancing With Water

I hope you can find a body of water to do ceremony...or perhaps you are more of an activist type and would like to participate in that way...whatever the case may be please remember Mother Earth's Waters in your prayertime each day

and hold honor and respect deep in your heart, your being.  We need to live in unity with Water instead of marginalizing, privatizing, polluting what is most necessary for every living thing.

Thank You!

A'HO!
