All my Relations. That means not just your family, nor extended family but all life upon mother. It's time to get beyond settling things with bombs and start settling differences by council. Time to put down the warclub and use the pipe and truthful discussion to find agreed upon solutions. It's no longer win/loose in war but loose/loose. We are no better then the barbarians if we continue to fight for anything. Create a peoples council for peace and make membership open to every man or woman on the planet. Not a United Nations for that has proven to be controlled by politicians and bankers. No a council working for the men and women of everywhere.

Music is the oldest and most universal of all languages. It serves many
purposes but most of all binds the players and the listeners to the same
emotions & understanding

"Stand in the rain and allow the water spirits to wash away your hurt,

disappointment and anger. Stand in the stream and allow the water
spirits to gently caress your body. Sit next to the ocean or a cataract
and listen to the water spirits play. Be thankful for them and the
numerous lives they sustain for all our also children of our Mother
the Earth."

To be a successful Earthkeeper try sitting on a rock and noting your
thoughts, then sit with your back to a tree and see what your thoughts
are, then sit in a grassy field and see how your thoughts differ and
finally sit in a construction site or next to a parking area and see
what thoughts come up. In this way you will learn to communicate with
Mother and all her children.

Recently i went and built a small (About 12" across) Medicine Wheel. People ask why so small, and where would you put such a small Medicine Wheel? As a Earthkeeper, i am responsible for Mother everywhere. Each and every Medicine wheel serves one of two purposes. The large one's are to heal the relationship between the two legged and Mother. The small one's like this are to heal land that has been bulldozed, raped of it's tree's or developed where you can't even feel any relationship between the land and you. They work like a shot in the arm for Mother and if not felt by Man is still conducive to all life in it's area of influence. In this case the Wheel was built with pebbles in the corner of a new development. It wasn't for people to see, but for being felt by Mother and all her children. I ask each of you where would you build such a wheel and why.

Uncle Bob was teaching me and two other boys how to shoot a bow and arrow. He said "This lesson is not about using the bow, it's about being the arrow. Just as no life is lived without purpose, so it is with the arrow. A arrow is not shot randomly but with purpose. It does not fly to the target by itself but by intentional design to hit where you have chosen. So it is with Creator and your life."

I was taught that the giveaway had to be a ongoing and multi approach

to the joy others gave, the sense of compassion for those who suffered
and the goodwill that comes from building community. Anything less is
not giveaway but a act of selfish self promotion by the giver who for
the most part should not be known as to who received the gifts.

The difference between religion and spirituality is religion is a cult
like device. Every religion has portions of the truth and none have all
of it. Spirituality is a individual way of life. Not bound by rules but
by what you feel and how you relate to yourself and others. Religion is
a way to relate to the people in your church, Spirituality is a way to
relate to the world.
One is a social activity, the other is walking your talk. both may be
necessary one for the group but the other is necessary for your own
growth and well being.

Only by bringing the causes to light may you overcome hatred between two
people's. Only by understand another can you cure your own fear of them.
The same also is the main issue between men and women. Seek then the
answer within and then go and heal the relationships.
