Hi Friends.  We have been diving into the ancient ancestral wisdom of Relationship ~ All Beings are Family.   Today, instead of posting a blog for you to read, I want to tell you  about an amazing Canadian website:  Water ~ The Sacred Relationship.  

Click this link    http://www.sacredrelationship.ca/videos/  to find fifteen videos with Indigenous elders, all talking with us about the sacredness of water.  The first video Sacred Relationship is longest, nearly an hour.  The others tend to be between 7 and fifteen minutes.  Topics covered are The Cree Creation Story, The people of the Land, Ceremony and Identity, A conversation between a wetland scientist and a Cree elder, Water Spirits, Mirror Lake and more.  These are powerful voices speaking for the crucial necessity that humans repair our relationship to water, the Mother of all life!  

You will love to watch and listen to these wisdom keepers ~ to deepen into understanding Water as a living being.  I hope you will take time each day to pay attention to water, to find yourself near a shimmering body of water.  Bring offerings and put your hands into the ongoing miracle that is water. 

As you sit beside the water ~ hands communing ~ or float on her surface body to body, speak with water, our mother:

---Count and give gratitude for the infinite blessings of water.  Perhaps you will begin with the amniotic waters….the oceanic place we all began.  Speak each of these blessing out loud; she is listening to you. 

---Ask her what she needs from you?  Listen carefully; there is something each of us can do to repair humanity’s relationship with water.

---Ask yourself what arenas of your heart are parched and need to be watered, nourished, cared-for?  What arenas are flooding and need balance?  

---Commit to tend to water in the natural world.  Commit to tend to the interior waters of your soul.

Enjoy this communion with Water; She is the Mother of Life.
