Dear Gray Wolf,

 I need and ask for your wisdom today as I think about all the people hurting because of the earthquake in Haiti. I feel so helpless and my heart breaks for all beings that are suffering. Your intense eyes seem to see right through me, so that you are aware that I am in awe of the courage, and sacrifice of so many and I wonder how I would respond in such a situation. I am angry that we as a world family have not done more for Haiti!! I can sit here at my computer and type while Haiti suffers intensely. So much destroyed so much death, pain, fear and just plain shock. Little ones who never got a chance to grow and become…

How does one find hope in this? How do we enable new life for Haiti when the after affects of Hurricane Katrina for so many, have not yet been dealt with?

All I keep thinking is … So much death and loss.. and yet I am alive! Will the deaths of so many wake me/us up? I/we as a world family could not stop the Earthquake but we could have done so much before hand, in terms of daily living… food, water, health care, education, safe, strong, housing.. Haiti, as a whole had none of this!!!. We as a world family, for the most part, closed our ears and our hearts to the cries of our sisters and brothers, human and non-human in Haiti. I am ashamed and at the same time scared.. I am not sure I would have the strength and Faith that many of the people of Haiti do with all they have suffered. Help me, wise one.. I was told you point the path.. please show me the path I need to walk.. thank you.

Dear daughter, right now weakness is your strength. There is much going on but far more than you know and that is what you have to hold on too. The people of Haiti will survive and eventually thrive because of a new awareness and understanding of their pain and need from so many who previously closed their eyes. Situations are changing all around you and that is in itself “an earthquake” of your current understanding. Do the small things that truly can make a difference and be consistent in doing so.

Take that time with your God and rest in God’s love. As you have read in “Into the Light” and “Learning from the Light..” all will lead to perfection. For now it looks anything but… yet you are called to trust. Earth is being shaken, all beings are being shaken.. newness and change is in order and change does not always come easy. Do what you can and don’t try to take “it all on”! That is not your role at this time or any time. All beings have gifts and all beings are being asked now more than ever to share those gifts with one another for the benefit of all. Keeping it simple applies to more than your response, look at your whole pattern of life.. simplify, simplify and you will be much more at ease.

All beings in our family have to walk their own paths.. and often we have no idea of their paths, thus we can not judge what is “bad” or what is “good” as we do not know what it is ultimately, for them. See through the eyes of love.. and yes remember that for you and for all really.. there is much more .. death truly is a beginning and not an end. There is sorrow and there is pain but there is Life and Life to the Full… in its own time.

Be at Peace my daughter, knowing and Trusting the More that you are unaware of but which is Known by our Loving God. All will come to perfection in its own Time.. a perfection wrapped in abundant Love.

Be at Peace… I see you in your fullness and I love you …Thank you for seeing me and honoring my wisdom. Walk gently and keep your sense of humor too. Life is hard but there is also joy.. as seen in these painful days for our sisters and brothers in Haiti.. People are being found alive after a week in rubble.. Hope.. is given…Hope remains.

Thank you dear Gray Wolf.. I will be pondering your words for a while.

Dear lonely tree,

I am feeling lonely tonight as well.  Does talking to trees make me crazy.  I love you and all your kin and I want to help others love you too.  Yet I resist doing more.  Does helping humans fall in love with the Earth seem like a crazy idea?  A life long pursuit?  And yet...it is your beauty and your pain that so is like our own and you do and can teach us if we are willing.  You stand alone and yet you honor your standing and your life.  You do not try to hide or diminish your self.  You stand without support from your family of trees and you are beautiful in your standing.

Help me to be willing to stand on my belief that Nature does speak if we are willing to listen.  What would you say to me, dear Tree?

Dear Sunti,
Standing alone is not easy as you say..I too question my being..as I dwell here..what do I give? Do I matter to anyone?  That is the cry of all of us, human and non human, Yes?  You say you want to help humans fall in love with the earth, is that a worthwhile pursuit..I say to you dear lonely one, it is a most worthy pursuit, because in doing so, you will save us, your kin, from the destruction that comes from being perceived as objects rather than Beings of worth, with purpose and beauty of our own.

You will also bring much joy to the human family as they discover their true kinship with us and how we can help to heal one another.  Thank you for being willing to stand alone and to risk such a pursuit.  Let us strengthen one another as we give fully of who and what we are.  We truly are not lonely, as we are immersed in family, it only seems that way when we focus on our individual selves and our pursuits.  That is not bad..to focus on our pursuits..as long as we do not forget our connectedness and all that it gives us, and asks of us too.

Thank you again, for being willing to stand.  You give me strength to continue standing as well, by recognizing my beingness.. As I said, we can strengthen one another.
