Mid-year update ~ 2017

on 2016: the fall and winter were all about Standing Rock & saving the waters... it still is... and now saving all the world everywhere... i spent a lot of time connecting with Water Protectors, allies, and community members in report backs & fundraisers... & then dealt with trying to re-integrate back into the life i had before Standing Rock... it was very rocky & now looking back i know that it was my path...



2017 saw many elders & friends pass, in particular I honor Mrs. Osie Webster of Tennessee, who raise a beautiful family that is dear & close to my heart, and Manu Koreha, my Maori Healer teacher & friend, who has brought so many teachings to everyone worldwide. I must also honor Master Danongan Kalanduyan, Malonga Casquelord and Carlos Aceituno, three dance and music teachers who guided my dance for the earth, for the elements and for humanity for a large portion of my life... I honor all my ancestors who brought me to this moment and I honor all my relations who are dear to me and who I hold dear.

that said

i wander my mind
in search of true meaning
a teacher gone, but
not really as they are in every star, flower
seed, water drop and air molecule

i stand
then sit
ponder the next moments
thank goodness my garden calls
the apples fall from the trees
begging to be picked and shared with all

there is abundance all around
yet many go without
time to share what is learned
to fill the cups of those who need it

i love
there is more
in this life and i await
its secrets

May all be blessed, may all walk in goodness
& "Godliness" as Manu would have us do

I look forward to all joining me on this journey of healing
Here's a snapshot of offerings: past & future
