ways to support the oil spill in the gulf coast...

the oil spill in the gulf of mexico could be one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in history...and recently, i have been hearing people ask "how can i help? what can i do? the situation in the gulf of mexico is so overwhelming, and i am just one person...what can be done?"

well...below i have listed a few organizations that are on the front lines in an effort to support local groups that are working to clean up, support nature preserves and locally gathering resources and teams to help with this disaster. yes, we would all like to go there and help with this situation, but there are thousands of volunteers and organizations that need our help! and we can support them! so let's come together and share our resources with the greatest source of all...LIFE and our mother earth and ocean.

we can also offer this prayer together:

i'm sorry. please forgive me. i love you. thank you.

it is the ho'oponopono prayer of the huna tradition in hawaii...

ho'o/to bring about -

pono/correct, in perfect order -

ponopono/ attended to, connotes what is socially approved and desirable

The Nature Conservancy has committed to the long-term restoration work needed in the Gulf and states along its coast, and has launched their Fund for Gulf Coast Restoration to support this effort. The Fund was set up to aid in re-establishing critical habitats such as marshes, seagrass beds, oyster reefs, and coastal wetlands. You can text the word "coast" to 50555. That'll donate $10 through your mobile phone.

a prayer to our mother ocean

Low rising crescent moon

Above the horizon where
The ocean meets you
Venus sits above your stoop
And I humbly bow
as I recognize your power
The oceans are burning now
The dolphins dive their last descent
Into the dark, black stench of gases surging
The whales are breeching
in the rainbow colored sea
that is not its color by nature
the waters are drowning in gallons of oilthat we pierced and now
these are our transgressions…
she is hemorrhaging...
her wounds may not be restored
for a long, long time...
and tonight, my heart is in agony over this death-
over the many deaths of the winged ones, the finned ones…
And those celestial beings…
Who came from pleiades to bring harmony
and peace to the earth
they dove into the sea from the sky
carrying eternal knowledge and ancient wisdom in their dnato awaken in us our divine expression
and now…they gasp at their last breath, they take their final plunge
into the mother that birthed us and who is now dying…
My soul clings to the edge of the moon
As she sinks into her hammock
Hanging between venus and mars
Waiting to become her full expression again


Oh Great Spirit…mysterious one…creator of all things…
Keepers of the west and the thunder beings
Keepers of the north and the elders who hold the knowledge
Keepers of the east where the sun rises and the eagle soars
Keepers of the south…the blood of the mother, the womb of our beginning
I cry out to all the people…the stones, the forests, the winged ones, the four-leggeds and those in the oceans…
To those who have walked before us, and who will walk after us…
To those seen and unseen…
I pray for assistance now…
Teach us to live more simply
to walk softly and to live in a good way…
To the Star nations, Grandfather Sun, Grandmother Moon
I give thanks to you for lighting our way in times of darkness.

Aho...all my relations!

dive into the lyrics below...

check it out...give it a listen and support indie and women's music!!

down that road

you've been down that road

you know where it ends

and that's not where you want to be

and now it all depends

on you to accept the lead

chorus:

so take my hand

and come on board

step onto land

back on the shore

you've been gone so long

going here and there

take my hand

and we'll discover more...

what is real?

what i taste and feel?

electric signals in the brain

i've been -

living within a dream

that exists in the misty rain

depending on others to survive

fate is not without irony

and now we must live

to no longer hide

chorus

i didn't say it'd be easy

i just said i'd give you truth

you can't go back

and if you could,

would you choose that road again too?

while the myths exist

the human race cannot be free

we've been searching long,

and now you've shown us

how to see

and live, freely

chorus

I’ve done what i did...

the answer lies within

the search is over now

and zion's door is the

cosmic spin

chorus

ashes to ashes

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are only here

to discover each one of us

rising high

and then soaring low

we are here to come to know

chorus:

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we have come here to discover

each one of us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

it is really each one of us

i drive out in the desert sky

and lay out under the stars

in the dark moonlight

and sometimes the shadows

grow so high

that i see my whole life in hindsight

chorus

driving up to the mountains

i can see the ocean floor

we are both soaring

we’ve seen this all before

now i head on down south

to where my family is

and i remember who i am

and where my shining star lives

chorus

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

i am rising now like a phoenix

and i won't be left in the rust

well the river runs dry tonight

and there's been no rain

for over a fortnight

mountains crumble down

ice caps are melting now

we don't know where we can be found

chorus

this whole is passing quickly by

we are born then live and soon we die

and when we live we know

we’ve got so many things

to see and grow into

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are each here to discover the ONE in us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust

we are here to discover

the ONE in us

each one of us

ashes to ashes

dust to dust
