“The repression of the feminine has led to a planet on the edge of collapse. The re-emergence is going to be a dance to behold.” ~Clare Dakin

We give thanks for all those who are moved, in their lives, to heal and protect the earth, in small ways and in large. Blessings on the composters, the gardeners, the breeders of worms and mushrooms, the soil-builders, those who cleanse the waters and purify the air, all those who clean up the messes others have made. Blessings on those who defend trees and who plant trees, who guard the forests and who renew the forests. Blessings on those who learn to heal the grasslands and renew the streams, on those who prevent erosion, who restore the salmon and the fisheries, who guard the healing herbs and who know the lore of the wild plants. Blessings on those who heal the cities and bring them alive again with excitement and creativity and love. Gratitude and blessings to all who stand against greed, who risk themselves, to those who have bled and been wounded, and to those who have given their lives in service of the earth. May all the healers of the earth find their own healing. May they be fueled by passionate love for the earth. May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear. May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage. May they honor their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow. May they transform fear, rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of what they love. May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do the work. May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way. May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear to hear the earth’s voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth. ~Starhawk

“Let me tell you something. Live your truth right out in the open. No hiding or apologizing for who you are. What do you have to lose – the good opinion of others? Believe me, they have no idea how to do life. And if they are looking at you at all when you’re busy living your truth, it is probably with a mixture of curiosity and admiration for the boldness they can’t muster.” ~Jacob Nordby
“You, Beloved Soul, are made of light. The moment you were born the angels cheered as your beautiful soul came into this world. You came into this life to be a vessel of great love. It is not important that you achieve perfection or greatness. Rather, allow your spirit to dance with sweet inspiration and goodness. Whenever possible, sow seeds of kindness, love and encouragement into the world. Help other souls to blossom awake to their own gifts and abilities. And shine love. That is to truly live.” ~Laurel Bleadon-Maffei, Illuminating Souls
Judge Napolitano speaking the truth about America’s two party system. It ultimately cost him his job, but well worth the cost I’d say and it’s inspiring that more and more people are willing to take that risk in the name of truth.
“There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their roughness and spirit of defiance.” ~Walt Whitman

“This country assumes that if someone is poor, they are poor because of their own individual blight, or because they weren’t born on the right side of town, or they had too many children, or went in the army too early, or because their father was a drunk, or they didn’t care about school–they made a mistake. That’s a lot of nonsense. Poverty is well calculated in this country, and the reason why the poverty program won’t work is because the calculators of poverty are administering it.” ~ Stokely Carmichael (1966)
