13 United States

The good emerging: I received this Sunday night. When can we do this again. Don't want to wait till Mother's Day. I do this on my own, but something to be said for group energy. I am a Shamanic and Lightwork healer of animals, people and the planet. Write a Totems column every other month for 8 years now for Wisdom Magazine. www.wisdom-magazine.com. Trying to get people to realize the reality of interaction with the natural world. On Earth day I sent out this msg to my email group: Cie Simurro~Thunderbird Starwoman OPEN ARMS HEALING PO Box 295 Shelburne Falls MA 01370 413 625-0385 cie@ciesimurro.com HEALING & TRAINING Totem Articles www.wisdom-magazine.com Lead us from the unreal to the Real; from darkness into Light; from death to Immortality. May all beings everywhere be happy! EARTH DAY MESSAGES Wow! Here in western Massachusetts we have had about a week of waking up to sunshine and bird song, as well as going to sleep to the mating calls of the peepers (frogs) in every makeshift pool of water. Every being in the natural world is busy making nests, getting food (they're voracious after the hard winter), growing or just shining. It is a great resurgence of life. This renewal is a great gift from our Mother. On Earth day, let us take time to think about our relationship with Her. Earth Day is a good day to grow into our power of creation. Let our prayers be a statement of fact, in the present tense, which reflects the dream we would dream, of life on Earth – if we dared to dream it. Gregg Braden says it takes only 8000 people in unified alignment with this "already-done" feeling to change our planet. Each of us is part of the Earth – in fact, a creator of Earth. So, for Earth Day, how's about giving our beloved Mama our dreams and wishes for the most beautiful Earth environment we can imagine. On the inside back cover of my book, Totems for Stewards of the Earth, Owl is looking at us asking, Why Not? He says, DARE TO DREAM THE WORLD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN. Here's mine: I see that people have discovered the secret of happiness, and how to overcome sickness by truly experiencing ourselves as being able to have the goodness we want. If you are like me, very earthy, the reality right in front of you is probably pretty compelling, and you may not quite believe you can have what you really want. Just for now (and more later if you want), try replacing feelings of hopelessness and negativity with thoughts and words of power. If we're busy contributing by this playful envisioning of "what if", there won't be much energy left over for hopeless thinking. Do it for the Mother – just for one day. Listen to our friend, singer/songwriter Don Henley: How bad do you want it? You put a hold on happiness – a day, a week, a year. You've got to bring something to this party boy, if you party here! On with my dream: I see all beings treating each other with kindness and respect and getting excited about creating greater and greater acts of compassion and love for all. I see humans being able to communicate once more, with all the kingdoms and truly becoming what we were created to be – determiners for the other kingdoms – stewards of power and all the Mother's gifts. I see each individual being cherished for their unique abilities, which are fostered from infancy and offered to the greater community so that everyone enjoys their work. Creativity is used to develop things that make life on Earth better for everyone. I see humans living in harmony with their environments and all policy and industry being ever more creative about the "greening" of the Earth. Thousands of inventions pour forth to clean up and keep the environment clean. Those who profit will be those contributing to the benefit of all. Thought forms of scarcity are a thing of the past. The plant people replace all poisonous chemicals. All weapons of destruction are relinquished. I see that finally the rest of the Universe can communicate with us because we've matured! Finally we realize everything affects everything else in the web of life. With individuals happy – needs responded to - there is peace. With individuals taking personal responsibility, there is no need for restrictive laws. When someone hurts another part of the greater community, all his or her people meet to tell that person every good thing they have ever done, until that person comes back into his or her true self. The flowers also give essences to help humans shift. For those who of their free will insist on adhering to abusing others' free will, there is a proper place in the Universe for them to take refuge in. The rest of us will party here! With proper cultivation methods, including singing to the plants and sending love and appreciation, our food is so much more nourishing and so we eat less. No one starves, and we are physically fit. We no longer need to kill animals for food. They in turn, regulate their numbers naturally, forgive mankind their cruelty, and eagerly help us in our endeavors. Humans are grateful for their example, their innate knowledge of the mysteries of Earth, the rhythms of Nature, the subtleties of energy fields and the interrelationship of all things. What is your dream for the Earth? Today I received a transmission from Mother Earth for Earth Day: Message from Mother Earth By my very nature, I am unable to do anything but foster growth. The proliferation of life is my business. This is all-pervasive, for wherever there is an energetic opening, for beauty and growth, I am there fostering, tending, loving. It is not an action or an effort. It is the "ness" of my beingness. That is why, despite all the things that have been done to me, I am still well. I still exist in perfection. I am still able, where there is possibility and pure intention, to create food, to create life, to continue the processes that have been created from the beginning. Even geologically, there are rounds within rounds, within rounds, within rounds of creation that you are not sensitive to. Begin to open my children, to the power that is yours. Let us work together. If you dare to dream, be in the fullness of my nature, for my returning gift – can you see it – you will come into your true nature. You are meant to be a creator as well. Can you see it? Can you dream it? Can you do it? Loving you all, Cie and Thunder

20 La Canada Flintridge California United States
Where standing: La Canada Memorial Park on the corner of Foothill Blvd. and La Canada Blvd. It is the site of a memorial to all from LCF who fought and died in wars since 1900. It is a busy place on Sundays and seemed the right place to be to pray for peace.
The good emerging: I am a 5O+ yr old woman with no kids or husbands but a full life with friends, family and a niece and nephewS. I am a protestant minister and am always praying for peace. We need to get back to the basics taught from the ancient texts, "love God with all your heart mind and spirit, and love your neighbor as yourself." When we lose connection to each other, when we prefer to remain anonymous, and not get involved in making the world a safer and more peaceful place, we have all lost a little of our humanity. We can hate war, but we can also remember that in the midst of war, many humanitarian missions were conducted and hope was restored in the most devistating of times. We need to act in ways that retain our humanity because when we begin to lose that. we are all in big trouble. I am saddest about the horrible content on the Internet that is fed by horrible addictions. It makes our children unsafe and I would like to find a way to shut it down forever. Little kids should not be snatched off the street corners or have to be sold for someone else's perversion. A perversion grow and fed on the Internet. The Internet can connect us in new and positive ways (like this) and it can tear us apart. I pray that I can find the right way to fight this fight.
