I have—[and what I consider to have been a privilege]—met him when he visited and spoke in Ohio, in 2003—an evening sponsored by The Miami Valley Council for Native Americans. http://www.tmvcna.org/.

 

He is a quiet man, who gives considerable thought before he speaks and knows a great deal more than he immediately shares. The message he journeyed so far to deliver, That Which We Call Earth, is in desperate need of healing.

 

It is none but our own responsibility, to insure the health of that which sustains us.  Whether you believe Gia, Earth, Mother Earth—by whatever name—is in peril, it is a personal choice to be either proactive, or ignore the cries and continue to perpetrate such ill-health.

To whose benefit is it to ignore the warnings, silence those who try to warn, or flat out deny the reality of Global Warming?  When scientists come forward and claim they have been silenced, to what extent do we continue living in denial.  This is not an Urban Myth.

 

In consideration of those who argue, ‘the world has been through long-running heat waves and draughts, and it’s still here.’  That is true.  Earth may well out live us— but will we outlive the damage we do?  Those hundreds and/or thousands of years ago, Earth didn't have the human population it does now.  Earth did not content with the man-made polutants on the scale it suffers today.  And what about those who come after us?  What are we planting for the harvest of generations to come? 

I firmly believe we were meant to be the caretakers of That So Wondrously Created.  It seems, though, there are fewer who take the time to care.  But what is the difference between those who could care less and those who will let others take care of things for them?  We are all so caught up in that which we feel we need to survive, that we forget our responsibility goes beyond the care of our own weed-free back yards.

 

Have we listened to too many interpretations of ‘how it’s supposed to be’ that we’ve become confused and/or mislead?   Are we so absorbed in that which has been developed to deter us from the real path, that we’ve become stale and unknowing?  Our senses are dulled, conditioned and/or desensitized beyond the recognition of Truth.

 

It is said that ‘you cannot love another [or others] until you love yourself.’   How can we expect to help in the healing of such great thing, until we heal what is ill, incomplete and/or missing with or in ourselves?  We are more rampant with disease and aliments than our modern, technological society should allow.  How do we heal that which is greater than ourselves, when our own health is in such question?

I believe that global warming is a reality and we’ve have abused our Earth far too long by the continued rape of minerals and ores with less than true regard to the process—  or the inhabitants that survive in the midst of such decimated places.  But, the jobs provide financial security, or at least until man-made disasters strikes. 

 

Ages-old ice is melting in the great winter countries, while the earth quakes and fished-out oceans swell.  Too much rain falls in one area, while unending-draught is known in others.  Some land is overcast by so much cloud formation that the warmth of the Sun can not penetrate; while others know a greater absence.               ~See: Baffled Scientists Say Less Sunlight Reaching Earth

We’re so entrenched in the daily activities of: the economic workforce; house payments; enormous personal debt; paying or dodging taxes; trying to understand the children we bore; paying or avoiding child support; harried soccer moms and dads, surviving cancers and/or birth defects; trying to decide who is the lesser of two evils when it is time to cast our ever-precious vote; wading through all sides of biased information of why we’re in one conflict or another—  that we ignore or simply forget about the very earth upon which we live, until it floods, gusts, or trembles under our feet.  And still—we do not truly listen or face what it ‘may’ be trying to tell us.  Because we’ve been told for so many years, by trusted “officials” that there is no such thing as Global Warming. 

 

With all that said, with all we do, where is there time left to mount a rescue of that which sustains us?  That’s for other people to take care of, right?  Who are those people?’ 

 

We see far too often-those who we've elected and/or trusted-where their agendas take them in too many other directions.  And, though some may feign interest in order to 'get your support,' there are those who struggle to help in what ways they can. 

 

What I do believe is that we must look to ourselves and each other to make true change.

We take from this world, more than can be replenished and though Earth may well ultimately survive us, [But taking how many decades to correct and heal on its own?] we and the generations to come are in danger of the ills we have and continue to inflict.  And I know the feeling of how the land we walk must have changed over the many years we mindlessly fostered such decay. 

Change or a Global Healing can and will not occur until we understand the sacredness of that which we take so for granted.  The dictionary defines sacred as: HOLY.  Worthy of veneration; entitled to reverence and respect; consecrated, hallowed and revered. 

The Dine’h People understand Big Mountain [Black Mesa, Arizona,], as Mother Earth’s liver, which purifies the waters, the air we breathe and the land upon which we so precariously, at times, live.

Aborigine in Australia, believe the Great Coral Reefs are the earth’s “blood cleaner.”  We have known, for many years now that the coral reefs are in great danger of dying due to polution.

It’s already been written that Polar Bears are dying because they are losing precious landmass.

There are Peoples whom consider the Ozone Layer, “Mother Earth’s aura, her Spiritual embodiment.” There are those who claim to see peoples’ auras and know the state of our emotional, physical, and spiritual health better than we know ourselves.  If all were to see the known trouble with the Ozone Layer as the Earth’s aura might we be quicker to consider a proper cure?

Is greed and the balance of power that important to those in control it?  Can we truly look to or trust elected officials to work in our best interests. I’m offering this platform and hope you will take advantage of this page to respectfully voice your opinions, concerns and/or possible solutions.

 

What will you let the generations to come, inherit?  What will you do to promote a Global Healing? 

 

My words here, are my actions.  What are yours?
