Holy Light
As our time on earth quickens with age, our dreams become more accessible, our past vanishes and a vision of our collective human fate becomes clear. Our spirit needs the light of the soul to illuminate a path to compassion, love, and spiritual practice, and to honor nature’s laws. Ancestors warned us of this future, now our children’s, children’s, children’s and 7 generations beyond must solve our problems of waste, greed, self, hate and war manifested so much in this time of technology and profit.
This work seeks a Holy Light, an aurora of truth, visions of porpoises and eagles, riding a wave on the crystal river of time, listening to the child of the moon, a hummingbird water woman, a fallen warrior, ceremony and a thunder clap and flash of light to illuminate our souls to envision a shared future.
