Standing Ones ~ A Tale of Trees and Children

Standing Ones ~

a Tale of Trees and Children

In the great forgetting

a realm in the clouds

was believed to exist

that would replace

root and branch

and separate 

seed from chaff

where one would find

sweet holy bliss

all memory of deeds

done and undone

would be wiped clean

from living memory

and the great cutting

of Standing Ones began

to build a way to this 

holy cloud land

with each tree that fell

so too were the songs

of Earth's breath and lungs

so the old Standing Ones

sent messages written 

in the tone and tongue

of moonlight mists 

that disappear with the rising sun

few remembered how messages 

like this were made 

let alone the knowledge 

hidden within

the scent of flowers 

from unfurling seeds 

of mysterious gardens

that no one could see

waking from the sands of time 

when all that was done and un done

gathering children 

heard a mysterious sound

that flowed to the rhythm

of their heart stretched drums

and the mysterious gardens

all around them bloomed

these children 

are now known

as the People of the 

Standing Ones

Allegiance and Pledges

November 8th, 2009 is the date of my daddy's passing over.

Love you daddy, your great sense of humor, your strength and courage, your activism, your love for Mother Earth, and know you're laughing at this video:

http://youtu.be/Ee_uujKuJMI

Received a letter today from a person who has decided to live here and call these lands her "home". Ohhh it was the kind of letter from someone who believes in Amerika.   Go listen to John Trudell, and learn the difference between "believe and think and know".

So the gift gleened from her racially, religiously, politically, wetico letter is that am writing about my dad. Cool.

First let me give you the definitions of 2 words in the language of the sender of the letter:

Allegiance: 

which means to subjugate your self

"loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause."

"those wishing to receive citizenship must swear allegiance to the republic" 

Pledge:

1. a solemn promise or undertaking                                                                    "the conference ended with a joint pledge to limit pollution"            

2. LAW a thing that is given as security for the fulfillment of a contract or the payment of a debt and is liable to forfeiture in the event of failure to pay 

So, this woman's letter says that she wants to know if a particular RACE of people are willing to show and prove their "allegiance" to amerika, so that she can "feel safe"... and it goes on to "rah rah rah piss on the boom bah" as me daddy would say, about "amerika protecting us from terrorists". Am a human Being what race are you?

I asked my daddy about allegiances and pledges when i got into 3rd grade, which is when we were told we had to start learning how to say the Pledge. All my teachers were women before the 6th grade and they never made us children say that pledge.  Then there was Mr. Ernie Erdell that treated us like his little subservient soldiers, marching us in an out of class.  

am remembering getting punished in school

teacher dragged me by the ear

to the principals office

in the 6th grade,

for not saying the pledge

to the amerkan flag

teacher recommended "detention"

which usually included writing some stupid sentence 

on the black board 

however many 100's of times

that the teacher decided it would take to 

try and brainwash you 

my daddy taught me

never "pledge" your "allegiance"

to a flag

especially if you don't know 

exactly what it represents

daddy said: 

when you are older, 

please remember this my daughter

your first loyalty is to who you are

and caring for how you are made beautiful.

your second loyalty is with your family and people.

your third is to your cultural spiritual sovranty

with that which created you, and 

Mother Earth and Father Sun.

i would rather you kiss our Earth Mother

and sing to our Sun

then pledge to a flag that 

represents so much genocidal harm

When my momma and daddy came to the principal's office, where i was being detained from being part of those ever so educational "lessons"...

The principal asked my parents if they knew that i was not saying the "pledge".

My daddy replied with one of his cheshire eating grins, "yes of course, i taught her about allegiance and pledges".

I said, "Daddy, Mr Erdell drug me down here by the ear, and hurt me."

My Mom frowned at the principal with one of those "am going to have you for supper" kind of frowns,  and put her arm around me.

My Daddy looked at the principal with a cool breeze and said, "Do you have a problem with my daughter not saying the pledge? Because i think you have a problem when you allowed Mr. Erdell to hurt my daughter." 

Dear letter writer, am hoping you get the drift of this heart-think, cuz will not say this again. You have a problem when you continue to allow yourself to believe in the terricidal, genocidal, omnicidal Manifest Destiny of amerika, 

of which it's laws intentions are to and continue to be, 

to subjugate people into believing in it's Doctrines, Papals and Bulls.

 thank you for listening ~

the Re-wilding of human Nature

New Zealand Waterfall, photo by Abril Mondragon

Nearly ALL of Turtle Island, was forested before colonization, 

and abundant with food .... Today, there is "drought and flooding" ... The Hubeing is inner and interconnected, and Is Nature. We are Earth and Sky. Forests magnetize and energize Our WATER Cycle with the Breath of Life and are the Lungs of Mother Earth. Forests are abundant nourishing gardens that provide us with food and nourishment.

Is there any wonder why we are all the Tree of Life?

There are "prophecies" around the world..."prophecy" meaning that our ancestors had the ability to see over their own and humanity's horizon, to share thier knowing about the law of cause and effect, and offer solutions, warnings and guidance about where we would be today.

Is it enough to Be spirit awakening, without Being, Spirit in Motion?

The english language is a static object based language, most indigenous languages are motion based... why? Because all of Creationing is in motion, Dancing Life. We all seem to agree that thought, words, dreams, visions, language are the root of all cultures and the sound and resonances of our spiritsongs,  to shift reality, heal , and metamorph. Our languages come from our Relationship within the still, dark, moist, fertile, Womb of Creationing, that births all Nature. Most meditators have accessed this wordless place, yet being wordless does not mean that there are not frequencies alive there. All life is alive and has resonance frequencies or lifesong.

Relationship is when we Live, the dreams, visions, song, words, etc... that these frequencies become our reality. 

Some 20+ yrs ago i was talking to a Toltec family friend about the date 2012, we agreed that to be born and raised within indigenous villages that still have the living memory, language, teachings of our prophecies and live With Mother Earth's Nature...have been preparing for this time for generations... and are vital for our transition during this time. They are vital because, many have living memories, sciences, and knowledge of 100, 000 yrs or more and live by natural law with Nature. It is for this reason that many have made themselves available to share with All of our youth, who are inheriting the current condition of terracide that "civilization" has created.

However, we also can see that it is our indigenous Peoples that are on the Front lines, protecting the last of our natural eco-systems and water of life. Today there is a great Rewilding movement, to plant gardens, reforest, and protect the last of our beloved relatives,  microscopic and large. With rewilding, comes the rewilding of humanity, and a deeper appreciation for the arts, creativity, simpler lifestyles, and a deepening of our relationships with inner love and peace. Yet to become truly Wild, indigenous Peoples worldwide also know, that it is our resilience to resist the indoctrination of colonialism and all that colonialism stands for and has imposed... that like a plant that can break through concrete, or a birds ability to migrate, this resilience deep roots within our dna is also part of our worldview and ability to see and know what the mind's eye can not.

When the hard rains fall, and Mother's skin moves, this being a natural healing and metamorphosing of herself, Her Birth,  and is part of Our New Creation Story. People are actively transforming the inner along with the outer state of Being meaning their lifestyles and ideas about ownership and generosity, and are coming together in New tribes, or integrating within existing ones they are related to.

The New Tribes exist in both urban and rural areas. In urban areas the Peoples are planting permaculture food forests, solarizing, etc.   In rural areas outside of indigenous villages, well, there are lots of ol' back woods tribal Peoples. Now back to the beginning of this comment about forests and water.

May we continue to help, care and love each other. Support the visionary Bedoings of the messengers among us. As many of our Elders are crossing over, it is important that we protect, tangibly nourish, and help the Magi's who still are walking among us, most unseen ...yet they are here, Bedoing the healings for water, earth, air, and harmonious relationship with fire/energy, and have much to share with youngers who will take their place when they cross over. Adopt an elder,  family or make relatives with others if you can because we need as many healthy people as possible.

Water is Life, we are Water babies, our relationship with our Mother Earth is also the relationship we have with our transcendance and the evolving of our Beings.

Love, Abril

When Then is Now and Now is Riding Home

 a few relatives 

 have a way of truthspeak 

to let the poison out

and set us free

lost track if it is their wound or mine

or if it really makes any difference

since everyone has it in one form or another

cuz we're all made from Her

and all life has memory

guessing depends
on wot One does

When Then is Now and Now is Riding Home 

grandson gathered 

1961's mixed blood babies 

within the secret lodge

gramma poured water 

with the way she knew

how to heal

do you know? do you know?

being born

with ancestral memories

remembering

within families dieing to forget 

do you feel? do you feel?

no apologies 

for running down genetic memory

of blood soaked earth's grief

cuz it's our own way of healing
and resilience of re-membering

do you see? do you see?

outside imaginary boarders

grateful some are still together

cuz our ghost

is on the outside looking in

do you see? do you see?

inside looking out 

of eggs that got shattered

see shells scattered

in colonial horrorcanes

do you see, do you feel ?

hydroplaning on skin 

or within the deep and vast

dispelling the castes 

of shadows lies 

do you know, do you know ?

being the living life ways

our ancestors gave

weaving resilience beauty ways

come riding 

on prayer waves tapestries 

thundering love

calling us home

will you come, will you come?

mother earth's  calling

us home

ride and spark with me

within the heart of storm's calm

Spirit Tree

setting us free
dancing us home

Mother Earth's Birthing

there was a night 

when her thundersong

became light sing across the sky

awakening every seen and unseen ancestor

from whence those present came 

her peace so deep and potent

for the sorrows of her children

she called upon all caregivers and spiritual midwives

to ride and carry the message 

to live in harmonious relation 

by the natural laws of creation

her love joy so vast and infinite

for her children and future generations

that thundering prayerwaves heart beat rhythms 

rained within Life's waters 

dancing with the elements of creation

giving healing now, and for future generations

north, south, east, west, above and below

riding with thundering heartsongs

pulse sing with Sun's firelight sparking 

within all Life's Children

for Mother Earth's butterfly birthing  

of compassionate metamorphing

~ * ~

There will come a time when illusions will try to lure 

Mother Earth ~ Father Sun's children 

away from our Earth Mother home. 

Stay with Her, she loves us, she is our starship butterfly, 

and the mystery egg of our creation.

The Triple Aspects of the Egyptian Goddess Isis

ISIS

http://www.talariaenterprises.com/product_lists/egyptian_wall_int_pg2.html

I am not a scholar, Egyptian, nor expert in any way regarding Egyptian knowledge. I am however a woman, and in this form am inner and interconnected with feminine innerstanding. My interest here is to muse about this moment in time when the call for feminine energy and wisdom to rise, and the patriarchal war mongering profiteers waging war in the middle east, have chosen the name ISIS for the "terrorists" in this continuing drama of suffering. 

Since 9/11 there has been intentional looting and destruction to the ancient Egyptian knowledge, artifacts and wisdom. Is "oil" really what all this is about? I say nay. The following are some of my musings about Her, in the aspects of the Holy Trinity of the Egyptian Feminine Isis. All women know who she Is, for humanity and all life forms are born from the feminine Ma, Holy Mother. We all have names for Her.

In the beginning there was Isis, Oldest of the Old, who gave birth to the Sun, and from whence all Life arose. Her title was "Giver of Life".

Roman Lucius's Hymn says " Oh Thou Holy and savior of the human race".

It is said that she responds and speaks to those who recognize her as Holy Mother, Ma, Matter.  Isis is Nature, natural law, the parent of All aspects of Life, the sovereign of elements, the progeny of the cycles of time, the most exalted of deities.... the goddess of the dead, the nourisher of all life, manifested alone and in One form.....

Mut or Maat

Mother

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mut

* In her first aspect she is, Isis, Virgin, wearing the plumbs of Truth ~ innocence.

* In her second aspect she is Mother and wears the red and white crowns of two lands ~ as above so below ~ Life giver. Some say that Maat birthed Isis.

* In her third aspect she wears vulture feathers, and is the Crone of Death.

She has been depicted walking with a staff of the evergreen Sycamore Fig Tree and is associated with the Lotus. The Sycamore exudes a milky nectar and honied fruit. The wood of the Sycamore is used for caskets.

Nekhbet
Crone

http://www.wildlifeextra.com/go/news/egyptian-vulture-conservatoin.html#cr

Nekhbet is the Vulture goddess, who eats the dead and crosses them over. She is the mother of both life and death. Vultures conceive Eggs that are fertilized by the Spirits of the Winds. Winds as in the song of the Spirit, the resonance and tonality of Life's energetic vibration. Nekhbet is also Goddess of the Moon.

The Three aspects of the Feminine are innerstood as Eternal Life, thus Isis is often shown with the Ankh.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh#mediaviewer/File:Codex_Glazier_2.JPG  public domain

The Ankh is the Cross of Life or simply Life, representing the union of the feminine and masculine principles, and is also called the Key of Life. The Christians later kept the cross and omitted the circle, oval, ovum.

We as humans have expressed innerstanding and relationship with the feminine and masculine aspects of Creation, through the cultural matrixes we created. Therefore, there is one more Goddess am going to mention here:

Anuket the Goddess of the Nile River, water, and fertility is represented as having four arms, two arms that care for the masculine elements and two arms that care for the feminine elements, thus she is known as "the One", or balance and union. Her 'arms' were also in reference to the tributaries of the Nile River.
While she has had a variety of consorts throughout time, most notable is
Amun-Ra, the God Amun - of the Winds, and Ra - the Sun. Interestingly will note here that there are no images of Anuket, that i could find, of her image with four arms. I could ask "why" Anuket is a little known goddess, or spoken of as a "footnote" .... the why is that she is spoken of as "the One", and Amun referred to as "the hidden". Thousands of years ago our ancestors agreed to "hide" or keep hidden certain knowledge because they knew that nearly everything would be destroyed by the colonial patriarch and it's ideological matrix...thus all that was held sacred became the hidden, or the Mysteries, the Great Mystery.

~*~

 Mother Earth, the feminine "goddess" and her many forms, and names is within all of our many cultures worldwide. She is Changing Woman, change is the only constant of time, space, and form. Mother Earth will Birth, and in that Change, everything will change, we will change, and it is our choice to experience this as an opportunity to birth with Her.

We are within the Change of the Key of Life. We are in the last gasp of what was the old matrix of colonial violence. The Vulture is eating away at the old paradigm of "reality". The Crone brings everything to the simplest form of Seed or Egg. All worlds within worlds are in the Egg of Creation.

Where love's waters flow, 

the fire of love dances, 

the breath of life sings, 

and the forms of earth blossom. 

My musings come to an end, without knowing how to end the age of wars, without peace within ourselves. While we emerge with peace, I think of my son's college film graduate thesis...."Touching the Unknown", which was a potential comedy series about what people fear, i.e. death, the mysteries, etc. The first episode, included an interview with a transcendent man who was trying to explain how he could transform himself into pure energy. He said, "i'm just a tool, i'm just a tool...." might we be heartful about what we are "tools" of.

"Behind every pain is a doorway to healing, behind every loss is a lesson of deeper love, behind every light is a shadow.  Balance is knowing we all have these deep issues and making a choice to relearn the simple love of life starts with the "you" inside. There is a tiny part of the Creator inside all life - that is the "inner" voice we all have and the place we go to talk to Creator and renew our commitment to RESPECT ALL LIFE and Do NO HARM."
