Earth Revolution ~ Caring for Creation from Salish Sea Marine Sanctuary on Vimeo.
One of my youngest heroes is Ta'Kaiya Blaney, of the Sliammon Band on the West Coast, whom I have written about before. She is now thirteen years old, and has been a singer and activist for Mother Earth since the age of ten. She very recently made an intervention at the United Nations itself, speaking on behalf of Indigenous children and youth. She blew them away!
This video is a visual delight for anyone who loves wild creatures and the natural world. But listen to the words of this girl's song :
"Stop waiting for Tomorrow.
Stop living Yesterday.
Cause there wont be Tomorrow
If we dont change Today.
Generation Now
Children of the Future
Earth's Revolution...."
Ta'Kaiya writes her songs herself, in collaboration with a relative. The one she wrote and sang at age ten still brings me to tears.
A small girl with a warrior's heart - a Rainbow Warrior. The Old Ones sent her here to give us this message. May it ring in every human heart. May we hear her in time.
Wow, such a passionate kid. Even at this unripe age she cares so much for the environment and feels for it. She is the role model for kids around the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, it is always nice to know people feel as strongly as I do about our Mother Earth.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I haven't known you long, but your posts and writing never fail to amaze me in their compassion and invention. Thank you for bringing this young singer to my attention. Those few short lines sum up and crystallize what it took me hundreds of words to even simply try and say. Let's hope they carry far.
