The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The catastrophe that has happened
with the oil spill which looks like the bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.
I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect
that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.
I know in my heart there are millions of people
that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual
people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been
inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing
Grandmother Earth (our Unc¹I Maka).
We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That
the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in repairing this mistake, and that
we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.
As we
pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all
life.
So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort,
I also ask to please remember June 21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision
making by our Nations, for our children¹s future and well-being, and the generations to come.
