Here and Now...What's Happening?

Todays date is the same forwards and backwards. I don't see how those adhering to the numerology of the gregorian calendar failed to catch this one, or maybe they did and I missed it.

Not for those of us who use the dd mm yyyy date format, that would be 02 11 2011... but wait 18 days and it will be 20 11 2011

You ALL are the Best! ...and 'you can take that to the bank'...
if you can find one still open, that is : )

...and on a traveling note, I am blessed with love of family and friends in my life beyond words to express...but a short story I will share:

3 1/2 months ago when I came back to central MA to surprise my family with a visit on the 4th for a week I spent a couple days on the Cape at my daughters and created a small 'medicine wheel' in their backyard. My 2 granddaughters did offering ceremony there with me...I use tobacco and the 12 year old asked if she could use something else as she is into eating and living fairly healthy and natural and equates tobacco with smoking. So I said corn meal is appropriate and was used by the Natives too. So that is what my granddaughters happily used. The 4 year old asked, "grandpa, what do I do?"...and I said you simply place the corn meal in the medicine wheel with your heart..."grandpa, I can't take my heart out and put it in the medicine wheel!" : ) : ) : ) ...and I said,"Charlotte, just think of the feeling you have when you are smiling and hugging mom, You put that feeling into the medicine wheel and think thoughts of people and things that make you smile." And so we did that offering together and I said things of the nature that we are honoring and thanking the Indians that were here before us and how they respected the life and the nature and the land that was all around them and that all living things were sacred to them and so on and on...
Now to come to the now...during my current visit with them on the Cape, Me,my daughter, granddaughters and grandson(7 months old) went for a trail hike at a nature preserve nearby. As we were getting out of the car my youngest granddaughter asked if I remembered to bring the cornmeal : )...I said yes I have it with me.
When we were a ways on the trail into the woods I stopped and made an offering at an old tree nearby the path...Charlotte followed me and asked for some cornmeal...She took a handful and slowly placed it at the base of the tree and said "Thank You Indians!" ...and well, that about melted my heart : )
Love! Love! Love!

ES, my heart is in a puddle ... I love your family stories! I use either dried whole corn, or cornmeal to thank the plant & tree spirits. Your grandchildren will remember grandpa when they see the medicine wheel.

How was the sweat lodge the other day? (smoke lodge? I forgot what you called it) I so wished I could be there too. Love that sort of energy. I am enough Cherokee that I could join the tribe here, but never have. Maybe you've inspired me.

Hi Junebug...Happy Wednesday : )

The Sweat Lodge was Beautiful...wonderful Female Energy...The Women's Nurturing Love is taking hold in these Changes as never before : )
...

Have You ever gone to any Cherokee gatherings?

The Cherokee are an integral part of my story...as that vision I shared here from ceremony in Peru showed me reversal of 'the trail of tears'...All Oneness Natives stepping out of their misery and taking hold of change in the now symbolized to me 'strongly' in that vision and that the unified actions of all tribes all around Mother Earth are now coming together.

Use Your Heart...maybe it is time to join the Tribe and integrate in the doings. I know Your Energy would be an 'uplift' beyond imaginings. Maybe just connect with Them any way You can make time or are able.

Aho!

In the midst of the here and now, page 90, I have been driving to work, and once again have had the bald eagle in my neighborhood fly in front of me!

Hi - no, haven't been to any Cherokee gatherings, but I identify strongly. I have a friend who belongs to the tribe and attends. I need to hook up with her.

Will go back and see your Peru ceremony again. Such a positive aspect to bring together that brokenness of the past into a beautiful whole.

The trail of tears ... my favorite flower essence maker (Green Hope Farms in Meriden, NH) has a flower essence by that name. I believe I need to get some, it's calling me. May be the thing to help me make a move.

Love and thanks,
Junebug

Hey Toots,

When your meeting's over you may like to revisit post 1777 up the page a little bit.

You shall have to earn that gold cup in future.

Hey, are you just patronising me??

Now what would I stand to gain by doing that Toots?
You are no longer welcome to the gold cup.
Look, I will gladly give you second place.............Junebug
She'll smell a rat.
And she'd be right too!
Hey you down there.......Toots!

.........Look up here!

Nope, not taking anything off you, Tony Loki ... don't you have cows to milk in the village?

On second thought, leave the poor dears alone, Ulli's right.

We'll figure out another way to give you more richly deserved flack.

Hi Junebug...because of Your sharing of the Trail of Tears Essence, I looked it up and put the story told by the Native American Grandmothers in WhiteFeathers 'Let's Be The Change' thread post # 37...do not know if You had read the story of the essence creation...it is a good one!

ES, you are awesome. Thanks for posting that story on WhiteFeather's thread.
It's been a few years since I read it ... will go enjoy that pleasure again in a minute.

Molly Sheehan, the essence maker, is a fantastic person. I got to know her a bit when I lived in NH. Her essences shine with a beautiful vibration. She talks to angels and they guide her in making the essence gardens. Machaelle Wright of Perelandra does the same, but she calls them balls of energy instead of angels. All the same, eh?

Thanks for brightening the day, ES!

PS: I still lived in NH the summer this essence was created, but knew I'd be moving back to my hometown of Huntsville. Molly posted that a woman from Huntsville was so moved by her description of the garden as it was growing, the woman sent her a rock from Huntsville ... as I recall, Molly incorporated it in some way into the process.

That really spoke to me at the time.

Tony, thank you-thank you! I think it's my prize for valiantly fighting with Tony Loki, aka goofball.

I will still hang out on this thread ... someone has to keep a close watch on #1 goofball.

And your name came up in my training ... I'm not at liberty to divulge the context, but I'll leave it to your wacky imagination.

Nora, thank you, my dear! I hope you are feeling better soon.

I expect all she needs to do is show that to her "boss" at work and they will figure out a way for her to watch you tubes???

Or not ....

[PurpleLama]

Holy crap.
We best be watching ourselves, fellas. Dear JB has gotten herself some authoritah.
