Life Lines for Soul connection Words are the Life lines of my soul. Words help me find my soul. Words found, somewhere even with this darknes. These times we are living in,dark and fearful, extracting words from the mind becomes a journey into the farthest corners of the soul. And even these words cannot describe the depth of emotion, the anquish which I feel. Great now is the suffering and pain within the Circle of Life. Perhaps when the words of stories begin to flow and the rivers of tears are a raging flood, this country, even the world will know the woven fabric of nations is torn, ragged and faded. In these dark hours, in this chaos, one must ponder if the torn,ragged,infected scars of 'have' and 'have not is not the revelation of a social and economic cancer, the source and it's depth hidden in a false illusion of greatness. Perhaps in this time, humanity will see the false face of this greed and power that has used and misused the blood, sweat and lives, the sacred worth of others; standing on the backs, and the lands, of the poor, oppressed and marginal, regardless of orgins, nations and color. The Elders have spoken often of the Great Cleansing of Mother Earth, a time of renewal and new beginings, a time of Gathering of The Nations. Within this powerful time, there will a removal of the barriers of oppression and unrest, distrust and fear. The scales of blinding indifference are falling away from the eyes of The Circle. With new eyes all humanity can look into the eyes of another,seeing a Grandfather,Grandmother,Mother, Father,Child, Brother, Sister, not seeing color or race, rich or poor, but seeing 'family'. We are all crying. We are all wounded and hurting. We have all lost parts of our Soul. We have all lost parts of our World. We have all lost parts of The Circle. Brothers and Sisters. Let us not allow this time to slip away without meaning or purpose. Look deep within. find those forgoten and hidden corners where compassion and love is laying silent. With the passage of time, Our world together has become a maddening race to have and to have more, a stampede to power without love or justice, a world lost of compassion. Now is the time to remember the truth of compassion, for the earth, for creation, caring for the tired, the hungry and the poor, the homeless and the refugee. Let us remember so that ALL of Creation's Circle will know peace, gentleness, Honor and Respect. Let this darkness become the sunrise of hope, connecting bonds of Unity and Unconditional Love with the Circle of Life. We are One. We are related. We are relatives. ......ravenwolf. Blackfeet/Cree
