I have been involved in environmental issues most of my adult life because of my love for our Earth
Mother. There have been times in my dialogue with Sacred Mother that I have been shown the
changes coming. A part of me didn't want to believe that invisible forces and humankind were
capable of such violence and destruction. And yet, I could not deny what I was seeing. I am very
sensitive to energy changes, sometimes with physical manifestations of what is happening to our
Earth Mother. There have been many Elders of many Nations who have foretold the coming Earth
changes and how we are to get through them. I can understand why no one wants to hear about
getting through those changes, but one must remember, pain always precedes birthing. All things
evolve, all things change and the Earth changes coming are not the end of all as we perceive it in
the usual sense. It will be painful to watch our Earth Mother and Her children as she struggles in
Her renewal, it will be difficult for the masses to endure the time of those changes, (and many
won't), but just as we are trying to get somewhere in our consciousness, so is our Earth Mother. It
is coming time for Her to raise Her consciousness, and there must be Purification, before there can
be Renewal. All the changes coming are the results of the root problem of what we have created
with our thoughts and actions. It is time for the Purification of our thoughts, so that they will bring
about Right Action, Healing, Peace and Harmony in the spirit of Love toward all living beings and
help our Earth Mother and relations through this transition. And that is what it is, transition, not the
end of the world.
For those who do not have a foundation of Peace in Heart and Mind, or know how to live with the
Earth Mother and all Her children in a spiritual way, one of Peace, Harmony and Love, will not
have an easy time with the coming changes. All things have a spirit. All things are related,
connected. What affects our Earth Mother, affects all living things because we are of Her Mind,
Heart and Body. The same Life Force, Life Giving Energy that flows through Her and is Her, flows
through all living things, making us relatives. We are all made of the same 'stuff.' The Great
Purification is coming, it is already here, and just as a woman's labor pains increase in intensity and
frequency in the birthing process, so it is with our Earth Mother. She is birthing a new, but ancient
Consciousness, one of Love, Peace and Harmony between all living things. Balance.
Living here, in these beautiful mountains sometimes one can feel apart and removed from the hustle,
bustle, and flow of man-made life, and everything unnatural. When my Ancient Mother planted my
feet here, and their roots ran so deep into the Earth Mother, there was no thought of possibly
leaving. I fell in love with this area and I resonated with its vibration.
There are few places one can go anymore for peaceful and quiet reflections in the solitude of a
wilderness. And perhaps in my innocence, tucked away in one of the most scenic and
environmentally pure areas of the United States, the beautiful Ozark Mountains, I always thought
we would be untouched by the same destructive environmental practices going on in other parts of
the country. But our world, and area as we now know it, is rapidly changing.
We knew there was going to be a tremendous amount of gas drilling in our beloved Ozarks. But
we were unprepared in mind and heart for the destruction that this industry has brought. We hoped
something would stop it, but it kept coming, growing and devouring all growing and living things in
its path and very few came to help. The politicians are in bed with the gas industry. There is no one
here who cares to listen. It has been tried by many people who are concerned with what is
happening here. Our waters are being polluted - our drinking water source is in the worst shape it
has been in since the lake's existence. It is a known fact that the fracking fluids used to drill these
wells are highly toxic and carcinogenic. We are having earthquakes on a fairly regular basis - yet the
'powers that be' still insist it isn't because of the drilling, when it is a known geological fact that
drilling causes earthquakes. We never had this many earthquakes until the drilling started in our
area. The area is being destroyed and trashed by an industry that cares not for the environment or
the well being of the people. Arkansas is no longer the beautiful 'Natural State,' but one in distress
and showing the signs of irreversible environmental damage. There is no way of stopping the
destruction caused by this greedy and selfish industry. When technology becomes a tool used for
weapons of war, or destroying the Earth Mother and Her children motivated by greed, control and
dominance over a people and every living thing, it creates dis-harmony and hinders the evolution
and progression of all species to the right to spiritually mature in a place conducive to grow in a
healthy, safe environment. The Earth was created as a place for all species, to grow and progress
into the likeness of the Great Mother. Our Mother, the Earth, is the manifestation of a Great
Spiritual Being as a place for humankind to learn to Love, and interact with all beings in Peace,
Love, and Respect, perfecting our consciousness as the pure consciousness of our Mother of Great
Light.
So, what do we do? We choose not to react in a way that would create and add dis-harmony to
this already chaotic stream of thought blanketing the Earth Mother, sent out in waves to our Sister
and Brother Planetary Beings. Let us not add to the confusion and disruption of the energy of
Peace and Harmony. This is why it is so important to create thoughts that will promote the well
being of all. This is not something I am asking one to do that I am not doing myself. And it is
unbelievably difficult when one is faced with this destruction only miles from one's living space on an
everyday basis. This is hard to do. I have a relationship with every living being in these incredible
Ozark Mountains. I know the Trees that stand like Peaceful Ancient Beings teaching us how to
send our roots into the Earth Mother and bring up Her energy through our branches to share with
the Sky World. I know the Mother of the Waters and every little creek and the magnificent Stone
People who reside on and in the Mother's great breast of life. I know the Herb and Plant Beings
that so generously share their medicine with us and the wildlife that plays with me during my
outdoor moving meditation for the benefit of all. My relationship with the Great Beings in our area
is one of Peace, Love, Respect and Harmony. And it is with heartbreaking observance that I
watch as the greed that has overtaken our area and the planet destroys the life in its path.
We will need to be strong and steady in our emotions, and holding thought forms of Peace and
Harmony for all our Brothers and Sisters in preparation for the coming Earth changes, and heal the
spirits of the life that dwell within and around these sacred Mountains and all of our Mother the
Earth and the Planetary Family. These changes are here. We must watch, listen and keep
ourselves centered, focused on our purpose, holding form of Peace, manifesting the Great Peace in
our hearts and minds and through our actions. In this way, we can help our Mother, the Earth and
Her children in Her progression and helping Her through this time of Change. So, let us send healing
to the drilling sites, and all the places on our Mother, the Earth that are hurting, before they cut
down all the Standing People, move the Earth, and put up their monstrosities and monuments of
pollution. Let us offer prayers of Love, Blessing, Peace, Healing, Remembrance to all life and bless
them. Let us also include all beings in those blessings, for we are all related and the blessing includes
that ALL beings will manifest peace in their hearts and live in harmony, peace and love for one
another once again, restoring to balance. That is the thought form we must hold, envision. We can
do more for our Sacred Mother and Her children in this way. After the Great Purification, there
will be Peace, Balance and Harmony once again. And in that perfect balance, there lives Love.
The Earth and all Her children will flourish and live with each other in the Right and Beautiful way.
