Being of Eagle feathers and Indian blood heritage, Aztec/Toltec, I hear the cries of the Navajo in the Hopi Region where my ancestry once traveled. <br /><br />Now in that area above and beyond the ruiness hand of the interlopers, people of my heritage and my original indigenous nation are with fear to walk in the land of their fathers because of the bifurcation and polarization by ideologs of certain segments based on prejudice and unwarranted claim to the land.<br /><br />As you can see, mi amiga, I'm quite soulfully attached to this issue.

The meaning and importance of what you did with the baby bird should not be discounted. A single act, accomplished with love, will ultimately be more powerful, when all is said and done, than all the greedy and selfish acts put together--because it is only love that moves us forward to greater understanding, and into a higher spiritual dimension.

Sadly the history of the world has been one of trade creating economic systems (and attendant political power) which have room only for one way of doing things. It is no different today, and always marginalises - decimates - those who are different. Nothing will change until we realise how to whittle away at power politics and mix up economic systems so none become predominant.anthonynorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680944720744601697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-43109112506295137022013-06-23T23:55:00.740-07:002013-06-23T23:55:00.740-07:00Sherry this is gorgeous and incredibly moving I am...Sherry this is gorgeous and incredibly moving I am actually watching a documentary now The Canary Effect.
