It's is time to harvest what we have sown...
Date: 9/9/2006 7:59:00 AM ( 18 y ago)
More gardeners needed now.
Food grows on Trees.
Debbie Friedman--the well known
singer and creator of Melodic chants
took the words from the line
"Sow in Tears, reap in Joy..."
from the Grace after Meals...
She wrote a beautiful chant
that goes with the harvesting of Job's Tears...
It repeats the line...
"Sow in Tears...
reap in Joy!"
More Gardeners!
More Gardeners!
This will be the centerpiece of the 2006-2007
Enchanted Garden Campaign...
More Gardeners!
More Gardeners!
Start with planting one Job's Tear...
Sow in Tears...water with the Tears
of your Hard Work
that has been noted...
The Real Work...
on Yourself.
Your Perseverence...
has been noted...
I am writing now...to anyone and everyone
who has suffered and who is suffering now.
We are each being enormously tested by ourselves
to find and reveal our strength.
Have you a feeling that there is No Bottom now
to the River of Life?
A man approached Thoreau,
who writes for the Students of Life.
Thoreau was sitting at the side of the
river.
The man asked, "Is there a bottom to this river?"
Thoreau said, "Yes!"
The man proceeded to cross the River
traveling through small Rapids...
Within a few feet, the man was in over his head...
He made it through, swimming
and being forced to Let Go of some of his possessions.
"I thought you said there was a bottom to that river????"
"Yes," there is a bottom, but you have not reached it yet!"
SO, what is the bottomline for each of us now????
There exists Nature's Original Technology (NOT)
it is NOT, NOT, NOT
the Technology that is Man-made and has gotten
into this Mess
that has created the #1 Disease we for this Moment--
compromised Immune Systems--
The Immunity of are Foods are Compromised...
The Immunity of those who Eat are Compromised...
We are fighting around the World now
because we do not know are intended to be standing
on Holy Ground.
Where is the Holy Land?
Where is the Promised Land?
We are each Promised a Soul.
It is a Gift.
Some of us struggle with the thought--
Why was I born?
What is my purpose?
So be as the Gardener--
The Essene School of Thought says--
The Harvest Time is NOW.
We are in between Eclipses...
What is Mother Earth Asking of us NOW?
What is your Seed Dream?
It is TIME TO RE MEM BER
what has been only apparently broken....
The Earth and the Soul are Soilmates.
Plant a Seed, Grow a Whole New Earth...
We are in the weeks before the New Season
begins...as celebrated by the
Solar Eclipse September 22--
by what is called the Fall Equinox--
This is the time of Journey to Mecca--
the Ramadan...
This is the Time for Re Mem bering our Strength.
---
Heading for a Retreat today...
and then up north for a Pilgrimage of
honoring...Life..
