Petroglyphs, Snow and Great Hikes in the Mojave Desert Dec/Jan 2014-2015 PHOTOS

A RARE SNOWFALL  and Petroglyphs recording shamanistic journeys of Native Americans, thousands of years ago...just some of the Natural wonders I experienced over the past few days, on hikes in the Mojave Desert, 2400ft above sea level.


The human-like figures rep. the Shaman/medicine-man, the rain and sun symbols rep.fertility, the geometric shapes are the light playing tricks that the shaman experienced in trance.

No one knows, for sure, who left these fantastic drawings, thousands of years ago in isolated areas of the Mojave Desert, now part of Joshua Tree National Park.

Full Moon Tonight..Time to celebrate Mother Earth and plant next months's wishes

Think about your goals and dreams and tell them to the moon tonight,
As it travels across the night sky
Light candles, and incense to the sky beings.
Honor the planet, it's peoples, it's animals and your self.
Add sea salt to your baths and showers tonight and
Celebrate the moon and our oceans
Tomorrow on awakening
Celebrate your life and give thanks.

DECEMBER 1ST WORLD AIDS DAY...TALK ABOUT IT!

OVER 30 YEARS AND COUNTING AND STILL  NO CURE.
For those with access to drugs and medication it has become a manageable chronic disease; for those without access it = Death.

This IS a subject to talk to anyone who MIGHT be sexually active, worldwide.

Despite millions of men women's and children's  lives lost to this disease, there are still people becoming infected daily, and millions of people are living with the the disease. 

In fact one person living with HIV/AIDS means we are ALL Living with HIV/AIDS.

Until there is a CURE, please CARE.

BLOOM & DANCE

O HOLY ONE, I RAN THROUGH THE FIELDS AND GATHERED FLOWERS OF A THOUSAND COLORS -
AND NOW I POUR THEM OUT AT YOUR FEET.

THEIR BEAUTY AND THEIR BRIGHTNESS SHOUT FOR JOY IN YOUR PRESENCE.
YOU CREATED THE FLOWERS OF THE FIELDS AND MADE EACH ONE FAR MORE LOVELY.

THAN THE SKILL OF MAN COULD DESIGN.
ACCEPT MY JOY ALONG WITH THEIRS,
THIS FIELD OF BLOSSOMS AT YOUR FEET.
HOLY ONE

AS THE WIND BLOWS THROUGH THESE FLOWERS
TILL THEY DANCE IN THE ECSTASY OF CREATION,

SEND YOUR  SPIRIT TO BLOW THROUGH MY BEING
TILL I TOO BLOOM AND DANCE WITH THE FULNESS OF YOUR LIFE.

THE POWER OF BECOMING MORE POSITIVE..

Harnessing Positive EARTH & UNIVERSAL ENERGY around and IN your Being:

Write the following mantra down on a piece of paper and place by your bathroom mirror, repeat the 4 lines to your mirror image, just once, every morning 1 hour before you leave your home.


Do not read them before bed- you will not sleep; nor in the car..you will have an accident.
Just read in your own space in the quietness of morning.

YOU WILL NOTICE THE CHANGES OF YOUR OWN SELF           BECOMING




I love you,
I respect you,
I accept you,
I Am.




That is all you ever need, and when you forget to say it one day, remember to say it the next 

IT WORKS BY YOU SPEAKING THESE WORDS OUT LOUD, TO YOUR INNER BEING AND TO THE UNIVERSE.


Peace

III THE DEAD 1914 Rupert Brooke

A single beam of light illuminates London today marking the 100yr remembrance of the start of WWI Aug 4th 1914.
The population is being asked to light candles tonight to mark respect for the thousands who died for peace 1914-18 WWI

Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead;
There's none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid  the world away; poured out red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene,
That men call age; and those who have been,
Their sons, they gave, their immortality.

Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us,for our dearth,
Holiness, lacked so long, and Love ,and Pain.
Honour has come back, as a king,to earth,
And paid his subjects with royal wage;
And Nobleness walks our ways again;
And we have come into our heritage.

Praising Mother Earth...Express more Gratitude and Joy at her Bounties

Hail Mother, who are the earth,
Hallowed be thy soil, rocks and flora
that nourish and support all life.

Blessed be thy wind that gives us breath
and they waters that quench, bathe and refresh
all living things.

Holy Earth-as one-we praise your majesty, 
grace and wonder.
