Maryland Heights MO USA: Joyce Olinga

Baha’is with Interfaith Partnership of St. Louis honor your sacred journey and share this prayer: “O Thou kind Lord! O Thou kind Lord! These are Thy servants who have gathered in this meeting, have turned unto Thy kingdom and are in need of Thy bestowal and blessing. O Thou God! Manifest and make evident the signs of Thy oneness which have been deposited in all the realities of life. Reveal and unfold the virtues which Thou hast made latent and concealed in these human realities. O God! We are as plants, and Thy bounty is as the rain; refresh and cause these plants to grow through Thy bestowal. We are Thy servants; free us from the fetters of material existence. We are ignorant; make us wise. We are dead; make us alive. We are material; endow us with spirit. We are deprived; make us the intimates of Thy mysteries. We are needy; enrich and bless us from Thy boundless treasury. O God! Resuscitate us; give us sight; give us hearing; familiarize us with the mysteries of life, so that the secrets of Thy kingdom may become revealed to us in this world of existence and we may confess Thy oneness. Every bestowal emanates from Thee; every benediction is Thine. Thou art mighty. Thou art powerful. Thou art the Giver, and Thou art the Ever-Bounteous.”

Abogen Norway: Morten Wolf Storeide

To The Global Indigenous Healing Ceremony. The sun is shining, the grass is green, temperature is + 9 degrees Celsius and the birds are singing nice outside…. Is it nice? No, there is something terribly wrong. I write December 20 th. and now it should have . The forest and fields should have been covered in a white safe blanket carrying the water resources for the spring and it should have been -15 to -20 degrees Celsius. Living in and with the forest we see and feel the big changes. More wind, more extreme weather in all kinds, big variations in temperature and weird behavior of the animals. They feel the changes strong and are in the state of not really knowing how to act. The changes are coming to rapid and the genes can`t adapt that fast. Mother Earth is sick, She have got a virus, and that virus is called Homo Sapiens. We have forgot why we are here. We have forgot to interact with all that lives. We have forgot that we also are a part of the circle of life. Greed, selfishness and a crave for a “higher standard” of living have taken us far away from the source, and caused Mother Earth in that crumbling shape we see Her in now. We need to heal ourself to be able to heal Mother Earth. We must find back our ways and listen to Mother Earth as she speaks to us every day in Her own language. We don’t have to learn this language, we are all born with it and carry it inside. What we have to do is to remember it, listen and act towards this. We have to carry Mother Earth now, as She have carried us through all times. Only by going inside ourselves and find love in our hearts we can be able to remember and understand our part in the big Mystery. Blessings and Walk in Beauty.

(The message for the ceremony is also sent to Siyotanka Wicasa to be brought together with The World Drum itself that is to attend the Big Foot Memorial Ride)
