The Ancestors knew that we must all be in harmony with the Earth, with the natural cycle of things if all beings are to prosper and to continue their species, homo sapiens included.
Humans, however, have fallen out with the Earth. They do not know why they feel so isolated, so lonely, so depressed. The answer is that they have lost their "roots" in the Earth.
Even if it is cold, go outside and be in a park, even for ten minutes to rejuvenate.

The poster above says it all. Do not collect stuff that will only serve your ego. Collect friends, good meals together, go on outings, feed homeless or provide some sort of shelter and food for animals. Make what you make count for something.
The grumbling at work this past week was all about time… how there is not enough of it; how we don't need daylight savings time anymore; how it seemed to be getting darker at an earlier time, and how much time friends and family take, never mind the amount of time you spend at work.
If we did not have clocks and if we did not have time, would we still do the same things? Would we still need to find food to feed ourselves? Yes! Would we still need to make sure that we had shelter? Yes! Would we still do things with friends and family? Yes! We would act mostly in the same way.
So what does it mean when people say, "I can't take time for that!" What they are really saying is that they do not really want to do the activity in question.
Yet, we need to find the time to be compassionate for our self and for others. We need to find time to be in harmony with our friends and family. We need to find time for self healing. We must absolutely find time to live our life, to love, to meditate, and to be mindful.
Many blessings.
Our society is full of talk against bullying, and for good reason. Bullying is imposing one's will over another, and in imposing that will, the will of the person and the needs of the person being bullied, go out the window.
Bullying is in direct opposition to the First Law of the Universe – Harm No One. Yet, we see many adults who bully others, intimidate others, and manipulate others. They seem to think that it is okay.
As much as we believe in the rules/laws about anti-bullying, we still will bully ourselves. We even use the same phrases against ourselves – against our body and our emotions – by trying to force them to be something that they are not.
For the next seven days, do not bully yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be strict if you have to be, but be conscious that we should treat ourselves as well as we can.
Many blessings.
Today, we remember our family and friends that fell in war or in peace keeping. We remember their courage and their belief that someone must do the right thing on behalf of all those people who can not do the right thing themselves – the aged, the children, the ill, and the caregivers. We are grateful for their willingness to step forward when many will not.
Many blessings.
