This lovely poem was sent to me by
Pamela Stead Jones...a beautiful
Sister/Friend who is a phenominal
writer...if you've never perused her
blog I encourage you to take a peek
at some of her writings, poetry, and
outstanding photo's...
Thank You Pam for sharing this poem
with me...as a Water Keeper it really
speaks to my HeartSong!
"Water always takes the lowest position.
Obstacles do not hinder it.
It accommodates whatever is in its path
and continues to flow forward.
It never loses its direction.
By remaining low it follows its true nature
and its fundamental direction is not influenced
by superficial obstructions.
Water is always ocean-bound,
seeking to reunite with the whole.
To follow the way of water
is to return to one's spiritual essence."
-Tao Teh Ching

to the world and more!
I Love You!

I'm just sayin'....
I've tried posting several new videos
this morning but it was a no go, so rather
than fight technology I'll just post some
links and you can go and check them out
at your leisure? The first one being the
Alaskan Natives speaking out about the
Gulf Oil Rape...

and then one which really spoke to me is:

and last for today is:

I know some of you may be growing weary of
me posting about The Oil Rape of Mother Earth
but I have found a purpose and passion through
this happening. I have been called to be a
Water Keeper. The ways in which I can do that
is to post these videos and links to help inform,
to ask you to continue to pray and hold intention
for the Water...Water is Life! In those moments
when you get a glass of water for yourself, stop
and say the prayer of Dr. Emoto...which is
I am sorry!
Please forgive me!
Thank You!
I love you!
I have taken to talking to the Water moment by
moment as I go through my day...when I am
doing my dishes, showering, doing laundry,
watering my plants, drinking, I am reminded
that life is a Circle and my prayers that are
being said in those moments of my using this
Life Force, are being heard by Mother Earth and
Father Sky. I will not give up until Her Body is
Restored to Perfect Health. I truly believe that
when I say prayers for Herself I am as well
bringing Healing to Me. To You! I am doing as
the Grandmothers have asked, and that is to
continue to hold The Net Of Light for The Gulf
and all Living Bodies of Water in prayer three
times a day.
Living Water International says this about
Water...WE are living with Water Crisis!
It is at the heart of a daily crisis faced by a
billion of the world’s most vulnerable people—
a crisis that threatens life and destroys
livelihoods on a devastating scale.
Unlike war and terrorism, the global water crisis
does not make media headlines, despite the fact
that it claims more lives through disease than
any war claims through guns. Unlike natural
disasters, it does not rally concerted international
action, despite the fact that more people die each
year from drinking dirty water than from the world’s
hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes
combined.
This is a silent crisis experienced by the poor,
and tolerated by those with the resources,
technology, and the political power to end it.
Yet this is a crisis that is holding back human
progress, consigning large segments of humanity
to lives of poverty, vulnerability, and insecurity.
At Living Water International, we are addressing
this most basic of needs by helping deprived
communities acquire safe, clean water. Our goal is
to substantially ease the global water crisis while
addressing root causes such as injustice, oppression,
and abject poverty. As this happens, communities
and worldviews are transformed—both among those
in desperate physical need, and among those who
have been blessed with much.

These are just a few...I will be putting up more
links as time goes by.
I have also made a commitment to myself to
go to our beautiful Rock River right here where
I live, to do a personal ritual/ceremony to bless
The Water...all life flows to the sea!
Here is a view of The Mighty Rock as viewed
from Big Hills Park which has been a part of
many a family picnic in my family.
You too can do the same where you live?
Something that has been in my awareness
for a long time now is how women love to
dye their hair to get rid of the grey that is
coming in or to change it up to give life to
a new look. I am asking you to reconsider.
There are alternatives...
I had bought a box of Nice and Easy months
ago and it sat on my counter for a long while.
This was long before the Oil Rape...at any
rate the morning I was going to put the
color in my hair to cover up my grey I heard
in my spirit...'are you going to put more
chemicals into my earth?' I immediately
stopped what I was doing and decided at
that point that I was going to make a huge
shift in my endeavors as to what was going
down the drains at my home. I will not be
a part of poisoning the waters of Mother
Earth if I can help it. I have slowly been
switching over to using Earth Friendly soaps.
Yes, they are a bit more expensive but my
heart doesn't lurch each time I reach for
something either. So all of you Lovelies out
there who read my words I hope you will
reconsider what you are putting into the
waters where you live. It takes many steps
to get where we are going but I believe
together WE CAN DO IT!
With that, I leave you to enjoy your lovely
day and pray that each of you are spending
it the best way FOR YOU! :)
Mitakuye Oyasin!
