WEIGHS THE TRUTH

The Protectress of the weak
Weighs the truth for all to see,
Divine Law seeking balance
Setting the spirit free.

And here amid the chaos
Of earthly trials she stands,
Ready to issue justice,
Compassion in her hands.

She answers when deception
Shows the destructive face
Of human greed and hatred,
Dividing every creed and race.

Keeper of Great Mysteries laws,
Whose guiding ways we seek,
May we accept the Oneness of
The truths we hear you speak.

Jamie Sams in Earth Medicine

The Clan Mother of the third moon reminds us that no matter how benevolent we believe ourselves to be, we still carry the seeds of bigotry and judgment in our hearts.

Mea culpa, mea culpa. I’ve been reading the comments on the AOHell stories about the Japan quake. I don’t know why I’m ever surprised at the virulence and downright nastiness on the boards, but the lack of compassion on so many of the comments just blows me away. God’s punishment on Japan for Pearl Harbor? Please. We might as well blame the damage to the coastal south from hurricanes on the south’s history of slavery. Or a powerful hurricane in New England for the massacres of Native Americans in the mid seventeenth century.

Why weren’t the plants better designed. It’s a magnitude nine quake. They don’t come much worse than that. Murphy’s Law in action on steroids. If something can happen, it will eventually and it will be worse than you could possibly have imagine.

Newsflash! The Creator; whether it’s Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, the Great Mother created a universe that include planets with huge fault lines, ocean trenches, mountains, and vast seas among other wonders. Crap happens; it’s not the Creator’s fault. That Creation also includes enough compassionate, courageous human beings who stretch out a helping hand to their injured brothers and sisters. It gives me hope. For the rest? Please go sit in a corner, stick your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and hum real loud. And stay there.
