Distancing Self from Standing Rock

    Seeds from the new, from the Rainbow Tribe, have been planted. What takes root shall live. That which didn't shall wither or go out with a bang (and who wouldn't want to go out with a bang if they had to go out? ;)  ).
    So much pain at the separation, ritual shall be required, a FB friends list thinned out and information highways un-followed. A mourning of what is beautiful (pageantry of headdresses and feathers)  as it takes what is ugly with it (the black snake, dysfunctional patriarchy and a whole system of rape and abuse....it's overwhelming shall be no victory).
   I spoke with a neighbor who sympathizes with the other side. The officers and agents tortured emotionally in having to face the protectors; their wives and family and neighbors will support annihilation of the protectors so that they may ease the pain of conscience of the officers, soldiers and agents. This neighbor reported how she saw on "news" reports that people in the camps were starving and freezing to death. That means the stage has been set. "For the good of the people in the camps", the feds will step in and "fight the extremists who won't let the innocents save themselves from the devastating cold". The loss of prayerful, peaceful lives will be blamed on the supposed extremists and those who suffer from conscience shall be quieted by what "tickles the ears": some had to be lost in the crossfire because the worst had convinced them to stay. We've lived through Waco and Ruby Ridge; whiteness does not matter to the feds.
   And yes, the ripples shall create waves and consciousness will change. These are the birth pains. The new is on it's way.......we are not protesters or protectors, we are respecters and She blossoms under our affection....
  The Earth is just fine. Her surface can be raped and pillaged and made stark naked. She will wait until we have all suffocated and then burst forth with life; evolved, intuitive and respectful of her....she needs no protection, only affection, delight and appreciation.
