It has been a rough, stressful, busy few months since the passing of my assistant director. Work has kept me very busy and very tired but things are looking up. My new assistant starts this Friday which will make things much better for me and allow me to do my own thing more often!
A lot has happened over the past few months that I would have normally blogged about but that is in the past and I see no need to bring all that up so here's to the future....
Spiritually, things have been very active for me in the past few weeks. I find myself surrounded by some very strong, very masculine, very positive energies. I'm not sure where these energies are coming from but I thank Great Spirit every day for it.
Short but sweet today!

DECLARATION OF THE FOUR SACRED THINGS
The earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.
Whether we see them as the breath, energy, blood, and body of the Mother, or as the blessed gifts of a Creator, or as symbols of the interconnected systems that sustain life, we know that nothing can live without them.
To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value beyond their usefulness for human ends, that they themselves become the standards by which our acts, our economics, our laws and our purposes must be judged. No one has the right to appropriate them or profit from them at the expense of others. Any government that fails to protect them forfeits its legitimacy.
All people, all living things, are part of the earth life, and so are sacred. No one of us stands higher or lower than any other. Only justice can assure balance: only ecological balance can sustain freedom. Only in freedom can that fifth sacred thing we call spirti flourish in its full diversity.
To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustenance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. To honor the sacred is to make love possible.
To this we dedicate our curiosity, our will, our courage, our silences, and our voices. To this we dedicate our lives.
