OUR DEEPEST FEAR
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you.. NOT to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around…

Ghandi - A short profile:
"Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement.

“ Success is
to know that one life breathed easier because of you,
to earn respect of honest critics,
to endure the betrayal of friends,
to leave the world a better place than when you came into it.”

In June 1995 at 4:30 in the morning, I went up to the roof top of my house with my sage, sweetgrass and smudge bowl. I was going to greet the sunrise and pray with my prayer pipe.. It was so quiet and everything was still.. there was a light morning fog... I lit the sage smudge and blessed myself, then lit the sweetgrass and prepared and blessed the prayer pipe for the morning ceremony. As I made my morning prayer offerings of tobacco into the pipe bowl, I sat looking to the East, praying with…

SACRED FALLS
It was a two mile trek
into dense jungle growth
from a round clearing
into a fast running creek
over round smooth slippery stones
one had to bend low
to get into the dense jungle path
stepping carefully
yet stumbling over tree roots
into a path of tall jungle plants
a path pink from fuschia flowers.
Out into a clearing
dwarfed by immense rock cliffs
where previous waterfalls fell
could be heard the…

THE WOMAN'S DRUM
So long, the Woman's Drum
has been quiet
while women looked to men
for the Teachings.
Now, the realization comes
to seek Women
for the Sacred Teachings
of the Creation..
Women, search out
the Sacred Teachings
of our Grandmothers.
Take up the Drum
sing the Women's Songs
of the Healing Ones.
So long, the Woman's Drum
has been alone
kept in the back of minds
silent in…
