Set Down Your Chains

About Me



**I am a Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Niece, and a Friend.**
*Nature Lover. I am an Earth person. I love my Mother, the Earth. I love being in Nature and taking in her beauty, absorbing her love energy. I dig the sounds of the wild and watching animals in the wild. Ever sit and listen to the music of birds? What about listen as the wind and a tree talk to each other? Do you know the voice of water, the giver of life. These are most awesome!
*Water ~ The blood and Life of Earth ~ Mother Earth whispers her love in her rivers and shouts of her power in her waterfalls. Time spent with Grandmother Ocean with feet burried in the sand ~hypnotic sight~ the crashing of the waves cleanse my being...and I am healed.
*Trees ~ Earth's lungs. Our beautiful, awesome Relatives. In need of our protection. The sound of wind passing through the tops of pines is most awesome. Watching a cottonwood tree dance in the wind, shimmering with delight makes my soul happy.
*Mountains ~ My Soul's Home. I am definately missing them right now. Absolutely love the smell of Big Bear after the rain. Smells like heaven. I find enjoyment in all 4 seasons, each carrying it's own beauty, lessons, it's own medicine.
*Desert has a beauty of her own. Very peaceful. Now that I live in the desert, I have found that she is also a source of healing when her energy is absorbed. Joshua Trees are indeed most curious and awesome.
*For the life of me I can not figure out why we are destroying our Mother Earth. Do we realize that by destroying her, we destroy ourselves? I wonder how far we are going to push her before she says "Enough". Do we realize the consequences? **Mother/Father forgive us....we don't know what we are doing**
*I often contemplate the current state of our existance. Seems not too many are aware that we have created and continuously feed the beast. Why are we willingly enslaving ourselves when we say we cherish our freedom? Why doesn't it even dawn on us that there may be another way? Sages have walked the Earth with messages of peace and Love. I wonder if we will ever listen. Will we ever hear the cry of our own very soul? Will we ever awaken? I wonder why we sacrifice the lives our children just so that we can have more stuff. I wonder why we can't sit alone in a room all alone with ourselves. Why are we so afraid of that? I wonder why it is that people don't want to think for themselves. And, does anyone know when or why we lost the Sacred?
*Not into the "collection of stuff" frenzy that has plagued the human race. Besides, who really needs all of that stuff? Does more stuff really satisfy? Does it really make you happy? It's just more chains.
*Interested in spiritual matters, though I'm not religious. I am an open minded person. I like good conversation on a wide variety of subjects including mythology, philosophy, existentialism, religion, the condition of the planet, & other cultures. I am open to other people's points of view, and I gleen wisdom from each & every person whom I encounter.
"Hold on to what is good,
Even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if someday I'll be gone away from you."
--Pueblo Prayer

"The spiritual meaning of love is measured by what it can do. Love is meant to heal. Love is meant to renew. Love is meant to bring us closer to God."--Deepak Chopra
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers withing yourself that you have built against it."--Rumi

I'd like to meet:

Lynn V. Andrews, Agnus Whistling Elk, Ruby Plenty Cheifs, Jane Seymore, Alberto Villoldo, Lucho, Don Juan, Byron Sully, Black Elk, Wise Elders, Shamans, Healers, Seers, Seekers, Philosophers, Just...People. People brave enough to take their own trash to the dump and apologize to Mother Earth for what we are doing to her. Would really like to connect with some of my Native Relatives of the Cherokee Nation, to learn more traditions and ancient ways.

. You scored as Earth-Child. You're a very peaceful person who has very strong beliefs. Others see you as spiritual, and you really are. You see magic as a resource to be used wisely. The earth really is your mother, and you'll remain close to her as long as you live.
