Yesterday while I was driving home from the farm stand, I saw two young foxes playing in the brush by the side of the road. I seldom see fox in th day time let a lone two. I decided that fox was my totem for the week. Camouflage; "wily fox has many allies in the woodlands, including the foliage,which offers protection and much medicine. Fox is seemingly able to vanish amidst the lush undergrowth of the forest. This flora is fox's ally. The ability to meld into one's surroundings an be unnoticed is a powerful gift when one is observing the activities of others."

The Olympics is over today- did you all see it?
I do not have TV- so it was funny to find my self in places with TV's during the Olympics. I watched some of it. I didn't see the opening ceremonies which were said to be quite something...I did hear on the radio in the barn that the opening ceremonies were digitally remastered..so that of all the millions who watched it on TV saw it all changed...hmmmm....It is amazing what can be left out--so that we get the "picture" that someone wants us to see.

verse from a translation of the Tao Te Ching. :)

Verse 15

The masters of this ancient path
are mysterious and profound
Their inner state baffles all inquiry
Their depths go beyond all knowing

Many Blessings to you all, on the full moon we were instructed by Michael The archangel to meditate with the sword of light and truth during this day the summer solstice. The sword is a tool to help us navigate the waves of energy and illusion as we continue with the ascension process.

It seems the some people have been experiencing a little trouble hearing Melissa during the calls. This is due to background noise that is being picked up. Below is a short list of things to do that will help alleviate some of the noise and will help make the call an enjoyable, and "distraction free," experience for all who participate. Thank you all for your cooperation.

I have been interested in watching the media blitz for earth day and have been reading some of the quips and comments on the Treehugger web page.

Here is a little question I found interesting :)!

Good morning it is early Sunday morning before the call.

I chose the cards of the week earlier today. After some centering and breathing I called in the circle, seeing Joni & Lila, Lenois, Teresa, Jim, Coral, Nurith, Dennis & Aurthur, Byrd, Brynn, Stephan, Jess, Melissa, Shannon,Linda, Andre, Seanna, Shannon, Amy, Alison, Shari,Frank, Pat, Patti, Lavender, Peggy,It was amazing how the circle just grew and grew, folks and angels stepping in and taking their place! The totems then arrived, the snake (transmutation) and the Butterfly (transformation)....No doubts, we are in a changing time!

Good Morning, There is a certain sence of mystery as I look out my window and see FOG. Where is Spring hiding?
Tonight just before midnight the Moon is 16 degrees Aries. In the lunar rythm the new moon represents new begginings...making it a good time to create and participate in ritual for changing and manifesting what we would like to experience in out lives. We will be having a free conference call later this evening to activate the energys of peace in our lives, individually and globaly...

Earth Hour, started in Sydney, Australia March 31, 2007, when more than 2 million businesses and households in Sydney,including national icons such as the Harbor Bridge and the Sydney Opera House—turned off their lights for one hour. "Earth Hour," as the event was dubbed, was a powerful demonstration of solidarity for the fight against global warming.
