Watch "The Grandmothers .FOR THE NEXT 7 GENERATIONS" on YouTube

 

not looking or needing any comments at all.  Just putting this here.  On Emrie's first birth day.   

reading here and there how "weather" is wearing on people.  Too Wet.  Too Hot.  Fire.  Drought.  How people are

un comfort able.

 

and i thought how i'd been taught that any decisions made were made in a Circle and that any decisions that were come to, must fulfill well being for 7 generations.  For the children.  7 generations of them.

when you watch this.  What do you feel?,  what do you come away with?   Do you see it as interesting and quaint,  a  kind of beautiful story of women?   How does it compare to the news of the day, of our leaders in positions of power?  Could it possibly BE that what this tells of,  is REAL?  

again.  not looking for comment.  it's a rhetorical question maybe for the privacy in side one's self.  But…why do we choose to believe one thing as real and another as not real.  What is real.    and the question,  what is real,  is it Real?

    When Don and I went to the small Vigil for Democracy in San Marcos last week, we learned about Grannies Respond. Here’s what it’s about:

    Sadly, we will be far from Texas when it occurs, but I hope we are seeing the beginning of a new movement with future opportunities to unite and speak our truths.

    Wasn’t going to respond because what I felt is so beyond my capacity for words but I had to thank you grace for putting this here. Watched this twice; first started writing down thoughts and responses to what I was hearing, feeling, then stopped the video, got up, lit candle, placed sage from the garden around the candle, put aside paper and pen, rewound the video and opened self to listen and see with mind, heart and soul. This is real…the words below are not mine, but hold me so deeply, they are the words that were spoken from some of the grandmothers as the credits rolled:
    “when we heal ourselves…we heal our ancestors…our children…when we heal ourselves, we heal Mother Earth”…
    “…we are not put on this earth to suffer, but to blossom”…
    “…grandmother, warrior for life”…
