From Chiang Mai, Thailand

Today, Dec 29th 2016, in Chiang Mai, Thailand, we held informal improvised, ceremony in the back of the truck on our way to the market in town. Our group began to talk of Taiwan since one of our students is from there. The talk drifted to politics and fears that China is trying to do to Taiwan what they did to Tibet, claiming it as their own, invading and then annihilating their unique indiginous culture and spiritual practices. The talk then drifted to the history of empire and imperial conquest, nation state building and the many massacres and genocides that have been perpetuated by many nations and religions, creeds and factions over the years. While not excusing China for their actions, they are not alone, nor are they the first to use their growing power to lust for land and resources. They are doing the same now as many other groups are still doing now and have done before them through the ages. Whether in the name of religion or politics, kings, flags or royalities, corporate interests and trans-national banking schemes, secret loyalties, backroom deals and profittable allegiances. This dark game has been playing since the beggining of time. They are doing only the same as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans have done. As the Vikings and Samoans did, as the Dutch did, as the Spanish and French and Potuguese empires did, as the Brittish colonies did, as the Germans and Japanese and Russians did, as the Americans did and are still doing. Is there a land and people left in the world that has not suffered under the heavy hand of colonialism and imperical ambition? Must every growing nation state try its hand at global cultural domination? Can we not learn from our mistakes as a global species before we repeat them foolishly again in the future? How many more must suffer and die? Today we cry out! No more! No more!

It isn’t easy, in a world so filled with pain, to go on smiling…Tears run into rain, and they keep falling…And it’s hard to turn your head away and feel the Sunshine, to see a brand new day that waits before us, and all it offers.With the Promise of a new day, dry the tears upon your cheek. Turn towards laughter – let it fill you – you won’t be beat.Take the New Day, make a new start, find the JOY and make it yours, leaving one less – tear to cry – in the world.Though we all have our share of doubt and fearThere lies within us – the courage to go on.You never know what LOVE can do … It heals the heart to see us through.From my heart to yours with infinite blessings Augusta.

‘It’s hard when you see the suffering of your fellows-To turn your head away and feel the Sunshine – to see a brand new day that waits before us, and all it offers.With the Promise – of a new day-dry the tears upon your cheek.Turn toward the laughter- let it fill you- You won’t be beat.Take a new day, Make a new start, find the JOY – and make it yours,Leaving One Less Tear to Cry, in the world.Though we all have our share and doubt and fear, There lies within us – the COURAGE to go on.Standing proud and strong – we see the coming Dawn.And feel the freedom that it offers.with the Promise – of a New Day, dry the tears upon your cheek…Turn toward the Laughter – let it fill you, YOu won’t be beat.Take the New Day, make a new start, find the JOY, and make it yours, leaving one less tear to cry, in the world.’BLESSINGS FROM MY HEART TO YOURS.LOLOMA.

For the ride:

In sacred honor of the named and the unnamed; those voices heard and unheard, the generations that have been wounded, and the potentiality of hope that future generations may not have to suffer as those at Wounded Knee suffered. May mercy memories and mercy hopes abide this day.

For the Ceremony:

I walk in a solitary walk today, but in reality I walk in community with you all across the world, and I thank you for being community with me, and with so many as we remember; as we honor sacred lives; as we abhor violence; as we lift up the hope-filled possibility that violence against individuals, peoples, cultures, races….will not continue; and that we might be agents of reconciliation and hope for a future, striving for restoration and unity.

Note:

Many thanks Ellen for your global heart and empowerment efforts to stir the hearts of the world into mercy and hope.

Great Spirit,We join our hearts and minds, our awareness with our Mother Earth and our Father Sky, with all our relatives, with our brothers and sisters at Wounded Knee, as we gather in ceremony, around the world, for the purpose of healing, with peaceful hearts, full of longing for “truth and reconciliation” between all peoples. The grief and loss and pain present, the regrets and shame present, the forgiveness and compassion present, burn in the sacred fire as prayers for a possible positive future for all people, for all our relatives everywhere, ~four winds, sacred water, our relatives the trees, our Mother Earth, those who fly, grow, and swim and crawl and hop and walk. For those who have gone before us and the generations to come, we join our hearts to envision a just world, of plenty and kindness.

The United States of America is no more sane or honorable today, than it was this day in 1890. My hope is for the leaders listen to it’s people, keep it’s promises, stop abusing humanity and become a nation that does the right thing over greed and becomes an honorable, respectable power in the world. Peaceful, fair, trusted, truthful and balanced!

Aho Grandmothers and Grandfathers of the Sacred Web, 

I give thanks to our elders who go before us,
Who forgive and let go of the pain from lost loved ones,
Who forgive and let go of the pain from trust betrayed by our government,
Who forgive and let go of the suffering passed through generations.
 
May all winged ones, all stars, all fur bearers bear witness to
a new transcending,
a new healing,
and powerful steps toward wholeness on this journey to Wounded Knee,
A journey that returns us humans to the circle of life.
