MY PERSONAL DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE

 

I believe in the interdependence of all things. I am one tiny yet significant being on this planet Earth, circling in a cosmos empowered by fire and embedded in relationship. My home, this sentient land is a kaleidoscopic expression of a dynamic and changing beauty, an inter-weaving of Spirit and matter that has lived, and moved and had its being through the ages, experienced by us humans through traditional ancestral wisdom and wild indigenous ways.

For my remaining days on Earth, I am committed to move in loving kindness and unique ways of community-belonging, as an ElderSoul, offering my voice and embodied essence as one flame of this original sacred fire. Through building and nurturing circles of relationship that welcome the deep Mystery of soulful connection with All that is, I seek to serve both the human and other-than-human communities in our journey together towards wholeness and the healing of our land and peoples.

I give my heart and energy to this.
