Thank y'all that welcomed me.

I really don't know what to say about myself, since I don't know anyone here. I'm 68, a disabled Nam vet and a retired registered nurse. I live in the desert, a recluse,I guess. I have some health issues that I have been told are terminal, but I'm still here. There's still lessons I need to learn and things I need to do. My husband (of 31 years) and I run a 501(c)3 non-profit no-kill sanctuary for elderly and special needs animals (farm and exotic). We…

I believe Alemany is more of an education strategy than a localization strategy. It will continue to educate and inspire, like so…

Have come to the painful conclusion that America ceased to be a Democracy when the Republicans ( headed by Abraham Lincoln )  violated the autonomy of the Confederacy by declaring war on it on the flimsy pretext of " preserving the Union " and abolishing the horrible institution of slavery. True enough, slavery HAD to end but for purposes of humanity, NOT politics. World opinion would have put an end to it much sooner than later via…

Nectar: Interview #2 with Permaculturist Kevin Bayuk. By Willi Paul, Publisher, PlanetShifter.com Magazine

excerpt: 

 

"It is my observation that some of the permaculture teachers and leaders who have been designing and teaching for two decades or more seem to communicate in a way that is less than optimally collaborative. I'm not sure that I have any suggestions on how any perceived schism might be…

Now I've been on this world a fairly long time in human terms or just a blink of a moment in universal terms all depending on how you perceive things.  I have come to notice rather sharply recently the changes that have been going on since my time spent on this earth in this body in these times.  Okay so some of the changes are glaring, and you might be wondering if I've just been asleep all of these years just oblivious to the seeming chaotic state the world is in.  Not really, I'm just…

I was just sitting on the ether, letting the energy filter through me, adjusting the balance and holding the levels and the consciousness stable.

I read the energy and it fills me with sadness, as those I believed in, chose the path of pain and fear again. I sighed deeply.

Around me I felt the change in vibration, “Zolan……

A Letter From the Ancestors



Children of the Earth,

From

time to time, we visit,

and when you ask for guidance, we come.

Things

are not looking so good there,

and we wanted to let you know

how much we appreciate all those of you

who give their best to Earth Mother.

We come

to honour the Fae, the Earth Angels, and all who have returned

in order to be

beacons of light here.

Don't give up, continue n the fight, and…

We spoke the same language of the soul

and one night you let me enter the temple,

that sacred place of spirit,

you left the gate open for me

I entered softly, with great respect

with bare feet and shawl

gently my footsteps found their way

and my eyes beheld your light

Radiant with love

and acceptance,

warm…

When I saw this picture a friend posted today, I had to stop and

pause.

All I could think in that moment, is that I am related to that

delicate self propelled flower.

I saw myself in him and realized that

sometimes we forget our own beauty, sometimes old

wounds ache and we turn

away from our own radiance.

Little brother was a simple reminder of my own

grace, and I remembered; to walk softly,

live with a light spirit,

and

that I have the…

This is my last journey here, I am glad of it.

The road has been rough and

rocky. Much loss and some gain.

losses that teach, wound and scar.

If we

are strong, brave and trustingwe heal,

the wounds become sacred and we go

on.

Along the path I have always noticed, there is someone who walks beside

me.

Along the way, angels stop by, put a hand on your shoulder or hold your hand

and let you rest for a moment.

Along the…

We stood on the mountain top

with the river far below

winding its' way

through the village.

I stood to the side of the others

wanting to be alone

with my thoughts.

My eyes followed the flow of the waters beneath me

I

felt the winds playing with my hair

and welcomed the warm sun caressing my

face,

wishing you could stand beside me.

But you cannot.

Today, I say goodbye to you

and we set you free in the wind

to take…

Spirit song

When you fall in love with Creators' gifts,

The earth, sun, moon, the universe,

and especially with the first gift,

yourself...

When you become a co-Creator,

an artist of your own soul,

a Song arises.

The spirit sings, caged or not,

no one can hold the song back.

It eminates from a place so sacred,

that it…

I spent the night at the river,

I didn't mean to, but as I was walking  along the banks,

I found a small wild patch..... "like me", I  thought

Untamed grass, yellow wild flowers and soft willows grew wherever  they chose to

I lay down in them and waited for the sun to go down.

And when it did, once more, the night sky came alive with light.

The river  sang to me and washed over my spirit

as I looked up and saw something greater  than…

A gentle touch, a soothing word,

A song to heal the wounded heart,

Toraise the hands, and feel the force,

of life within... the sacred spark.

To see divine life force,

auras dancing in a mist,

weave a tapestry of rainbow,

by the blessed mother kissed.

The mother-godess, ripe with gifts,

a garden cornucopia,

of herbs and roots and healing plants,

celestial utopia!

From…

Night Sky,

Alive with the fires of heaven,

Shining beacons we call stars,

hosts of angels watching over

spinning planets and life we have yet to discover.

Even now, bursting with activity of impending change that will soon come upon us.

In contrast to all that,

I lie here in the quiet of night,

enveloped by a darkness lit by soft starlight.

I keep your spirit close for comfort and warmth,

you say it is always with…

We spoke the same language of the soul

and one night you let me enter the temple,

that sacred place of spirit,

you left the gate open for me

I entered softly, with great respect

with bare feet and shawl

gently my footsteps found their way

and my eyes beheld your light

Radiant with love

and acceptance,

warm with strength and…
