470: Eli Painted Crow Introduced by Sharon Franquemont, co-founder of the Prayer Vigil for the Earth
The Cry for a Vision Women have always been the nourishers of the world. Healing the world requires women to re-define the power of “we”. With faith, Love and forward thinking, we hold in our hearts the key to success. This key unleashes the power of changing our thinking, and how we see the world lies in the heartbeat of every woman.
Our earth mother, Turtle Islandas she is called by some, is calling for her daughters to heed her warnings and help her heal her wounds. She calls out to us and asks us to pray. She asks usto connect our heartbeat, for hers grows faint as she weakens every day afflicted by the diseases created by the human. The grandmothers call us to nourish her and her children, our brothers and sisters.
We wait. We pray, and allow our children to die for the sake of the whole. Still, the power of life istaken for the sake of man. We lose one heartbeat after another for the sake of a few.
The wound is infected andmany go to try and heal her. But the parasites continue to eat her with norelief in sight. As we move into a new vibration cycle in 2008 we are remindedthat it is a time for change and pioneering a new shift in our thinking. Thetime has come for women to resolve to become leaders for the sake of the next 7generations. It is time to organize, clear our minds and get to work.
It is time to answer the call of our mother and to respond with the heartbeat that women know, being the givers of life. We are called to restore balance to our earth mother. We are called too help her gain her strength, to help her heal her wounds of assaults, the poisoning and violations of her body.
